 * When creating a message via USP and you add photos, these are 1. not visible 
   in the editor (via an additional field a link, but that is very difficult) 2.
   The photos are not linked to the message in the media library and 3. You cannot
   set link to media file to open an image as a visitor.

 * Glad to help:
 * 1) Correct, by default images are not added directly to post content. Instead,
   submitted posts are added to the WP Media Library and attached to the post as
   custom field(s). To display images on the front-end, you can enable the option
   to “Auto Display Images”.
 * 2) Correct, however the Media Library is not something that the plugin has control
   over; rather it is a core WP feature.
 * 3) I’m not sure if I completely understand this question, but it sounds like 
   you want to link the image thumbnails with larger-size versions. If that is the
   case, again check out the “Auto Display Images” setting, where you can format
   the image output by adding links or whatever other markup/text is required.

 * Hello,
 * The images that I add to the message are not shown in the editor. Only the text
   is shown and not the images! Automatic display settings do not help.
 * Number 3: I want to link the images to the media file. In the plugin only the
   option is full, medium, etc., but I mean a link to the original file of the image.
   
   If this is possible, how?

 * Glad to help:
 * 1) “The images that I add to the message are not shown in the editor. Only the
   text is shown and not the images! Automatic display settings do not help.”
 * If the auto settings are not working most likely your theme is incompatible. 
   An easy way to test is to temporarily switch to one of the default WP themes 
   and try again. Auto-display is known to work for all default WP themes.
 * 2) “I want to link the images to the media file. In the plugin only the option
   is full, medium, etc., but I mean a link to the original file of the image.
    
   If this is possible, how?”
 * Yes this can be configured using the Auto Display Images settings by using `%%
   full%%`, which displays the original image full size. I think this is the default
   value for the auto-display images setting.

 * Even with a standard wordpress theme, the images do not appear in the editor.
   The plugin does not work for me and I will look for another one. Thanks for the
   responses.

 * Hi [@112goor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/112goor/), I totally understand.
   Just to be clear though, USP does not add any images to the Editor. There are
   options to display images on the front-end in post content, but no options to
   add the images directly to the post editor. But either way, I get it and good
   luck to you.
