[Resolved] Upload images to post body without giving access to Media Library
This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The issue here is that the user wanted to allow his customers to upload images to the post body when creating a post but doesn't want them to have access to the media library.
Solution:
Unfortunately this is not possible with our Plugin because a user isn't allowed to upload items to the site if they do not have access to the media gallery.

This is the technical support forum for Toolset - a suite of plugins for developing WordPress sites without writing PHP.
Everyone can read this forum, but only Toolset clients can post in it. Toolset support works 6 days per week, 19 hours per day.
I am trying to:
Let users add pictures to post body from front-end, without giving the user access to Media Library files.
Currently I have checked the
"Allow Media Insert button in Post Content Rich Text Editor", however, even this button does not appear on the front-end form.
I see.
Just for the record - there is a plugin (name of which I'm happy to share in DM), which allows this. In fact, I'm sure there are multiple for what it's worth.
I would strongly suggest looking at it and perhaps implementing that in Toolset, as for now I am still trying to decide which plugin to go with.
While Toolset seems to be highly promising some small, but vitally important features, such as the one discussed above, will ultimately be deciding factor for which plugin to choose.
There is a workaround to this however, You should be able to create your own custom subscriber role and give them permissions to access this using our Access plugin as it allows you to create your own customized roles.
I don't see how to leave a DM (maybe I haven't had enough coffee yet) but would you mind saying what plugin you used for this so users don't have access to the media library when uploading images. I need to do this for a site and haven't found a good way to do it. Thank you!
