    Hi,

    Just implemented wpForo and love it.

    I have just one problem. When creating a new topic or response, i can only upload 1 file at a time. If I edit the topic I am able to add a second file but I would like to do it directly when creating the topic.

    I look at the “Advanced Attachments” addon but I do not need all those features. I just want to upload multiple files. Many other plugins (example wpForms) have an upload field for multiple files upload. Is there a way to change the upload field to do that ? Snippet ?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,

    To upload more than one file in wpForo, you’ll need the wpForo Advanced Attachments addon, as the default attachment feature supports only a single file. This addon allows users to attach multiple files, including images, videos, audio, and any other file types you permit in the settings. Attachments can be inserted inline, directly within the post content. The addon also provides a modern lightbox viewer with a slider and various tools for previewing different file types, and much more.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the quick answer.

    As I said I look at the “Advanced Attachments” addon but I do not need all those features. I just want to upload multiple files.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,

    I’m sorry, but there are no alternative options available for this functionality at the moment.

    Hi, Thanks for the precision.

    As I said, the “Advanced Attachments” addon is an overkill for us. I do not even want our users to have to deal the complicated method.

    Uploading more than 1 files at a time is feature found in many plugins (seem to be the standard now). I would like that you put that on the list of future improvement for the development team.

    @ldeschenes plus one on this. It’s really the main thing holding this forum plugin back.

    The concept of the Advanced Attachments plugin is great, but the stock upload form and the Advanced Attachments plugin are two extremes. Just a simple method to upload more than one image without a My Media gallery and all the other bells and whistles would be even better for some of us. I would happily pay for a less “advanced” attachments plugin that simply allows more than one basic image upload!
