[Resolved] Guest unable to upload files

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

The issue here is that the user's guests are not able to upload images using Toolset Forms.

The issue was actually in access and setting the media post type to use the default wordpress permissions resolved the issue.

Hi,
I have a
I am using formidable forms for the site. I have created a form for swimmers to apply on our site, They are not logged in. As a part of the application form a few files need to e uploaded.

When a user uploads an image the form shows an error -1 or "You have no access to upload files"

I have checked with formidable and they have said there are no issues on my end.
When I disable Access plugin the form works. How do I add uploads permissable for guests

Hello,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Do you have our access plugin installed?

If so could you temporarily disable it and try again ?

Thanks,
Shane

Hello,

If guests only have Read access then that means they won't be able to upload any files. Could you give them publish access as well ?

Thanks,
Shane

Hi,
How do I do it? For the guest I am unable to check the box to enable access to guest. The checkbox is not editable

Yes you are correct. Could you instead set it to use the default wordpress permissions?
