Plugin Review – Inline Image Upload for bbPress

Plugin Review – Inline Image Upload for TinyMCE

https://wordpress.org/plugins/image-upload-for-bbpress/

Version Tested: V 1.1.15

Inline Image Upload for bbPress is a forum plugin that adds a visual editor tab to forum topics and replies, with the ability for the insert image button to also allow image upload.

Installation is simply a case of installing and activating the plugin. Although it adds a Dashboard>>Images>>Image Upload page there are no settings to change; this page simply informs you how the plugin works.

Once installed the plugin adds the visual tab to bbPress.

Clicking on the insert image button reveals that it also has an image upload option (the folder to the right off the URL field.

This is a simple and effective plugin for bbPress that enhances your forums and adds both the visual editor and an image upload function, it works very well and I give this plugin 10 out of 10. There is a pro version of the plugin that allows a great many options to be changed though I’m not sure most sites would need those.

Plugin won't uninstall correctly and only the paid version is mobile friendly

<!-- wp:paragraph --> [...]<p class="">I had the free version of this plugin to tests and noticed that the resizing to mobile was not working. The "fix" is to upgrade to the pro version that is apparently mobile friendly.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p class="">Looking further I noticed that the plugin was not tested with the current version of wordpress (last update 8 months ago) and the support forum seemed to be abandoned so I decided to uninstall the plugin</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p class="">After uninstalling, the image icon that the plugin placed in the TinyMCE editor was still visible and clickable but to a broken link. The plugin owners have offered very little practical help to remove the upload image icon that was placed there by the plugin on installation as it clearly states in the plugins description. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p class="">They have blamed other plugins for the issue and even suggested I upgrade to pro to fix the issues.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p class="">Not a very happy potential customer and I have removed the plugin but am still left with a broken image upload icon that opens a dialogue box that doesn't work.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p class="">Obviously the plugin is leaving some residue behind that should be cleaned up on uninstall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> Read more »

They do not respond in the support forum.

The last response was a year ago. If they do not want to support this plugin they should remove it.

Cut-throat Customer Service

Be advised this company will hang on to your money even if you email them as soon as your subscription renews. We decided not to use bbPress and thus did not have a need for their plugin. We forgot to cancel the subscription, received no notice of the upcoming renewal, and despite emailing them as [...]soon as the renewal went through, they refused to issue a refund. Most honest businesses I know would extend this courtesy, but not Aspen Grove. Worse, instead of giving an honest answer as to why (even "we choose not to make any exceptions" would have been acceptable), they gave a B.S. line about it being due to the digital nature of their product. Let's be serious - no money apart from a credit card fee was spent by Aspen Grove because my subscription renewed, and I would have happily taken a partial refund if this was a concern. I have no idea how well their plugin works, but I can tell how their customer service works! Read more »

Good one

This is a useful tool to upload images. However, all images go into bbpress database and I would not find them in the main image gallery in WP. It would be nice if we have them accessible in the main image gallery and control the image upload limits (I got to know that this has to be set up [...]somewhere in WP PHP file for upload limit).

Uploads images ✅ User friendly 🤔

Its really easy and does the job for the Wordpress admin to allow image upload. And the image upload in the bbpress form is easy and familiar, if you're a Wordpress admin. But if you're a regular user just trying to comment on a bbpress forum, its not at all user friendly. My user base simply [...]haven't worked it out how to upload an image, i don't know how i can fix this. Read more »

Bad for mobile devices

Does not works for mobile devices. Works only on desktop or laptop devices. It's their way so that you can buy their pro version. If you can spend money then only download this else it's of no use.
