FAQ

Where can I configure the plugin?

Open the Forums menu, and you will see Attachments item there. This will open a panel with global plugin settings.

Why is Media Library required?

All attachments uploads are handled by the WordPress Media Library, and plugin uses native WordPress upload functions. When the file is uploaded it will be available through Media Library. Consult WordPress documentation about Media Library requirements.

Will this plugin work with standalone bbPress installation?

No. This plugin requires the plugin versions of bbPress 2.6.2 or higher.

Does this plugin work with bbPress and BuddyPress groups?

GD bbPress Attachments 4.2 is tested with BuddyPress 6.0 using bbPress for Groups forums. Make sure you enable JavaScript and CSS Settings Always Include option in the plugin settings.

What are the common problems that can prevent upload to work?

In some cases, it can happen that jQuery is not included on the page, even so, the bbPress requires it to be loaded. That can happen if something else is unloading jQuery. If the jQuery is not present, the upload will not work.
Another common issue is that WordPress Media Library upload is not working. If that is not set up, attachments upload can’t work.

Great download plugin with bonuses: thumbnails and editable media library! It is necessary to write more; it is not obvious, but it can be a decisive factor for the choice! my recommendations!

Works Well But!

February 13, 2020
Just a quick note. The plugin works well but needs updating. I would have purchased the pro service but why do that when the ree plugin is not even up to date. It's a little off-putting. Once the free plugin is installed there are bold call to action banners for Pro Service. I have to wonder would I be getting the best performance from the paid service if that's not up to date either. Food for thought. Otherwise, it would be a 5-star plugin from me.
