# Short code to display "Add Document" button?

 * This looks like an excellent plugin. Is there a shortcode to display the upload
   button? This is for a login-only private site for collaboration, and I’d love
   to have users be able to both browse files and click to add a new document. Is
   this possible?

 * It has been added to the feature list and is a work in progress right now.

 * I have the library working and looking good, but I have yet to figure out how
   to let the registered users upload or “add new” documents themselves. On this
   site, they are students, and so need to upload assignments and responses, etc.
 * Is that feature available? How can I enable it?
 * The site is kinshipearth.org

 * If you got to the Dashboard then goto Memphis Docs>Options>Settings>Allowed to
   Upload
 * You will see a list of user types to allow, choose the user type that you want
   and that it 🙂

 * I also noticed you navbar style is off if you add this to your css it should 
   fix it:
 *     ```
       .mdoc-navbar-container .nav {
       background: none !important;
       width: inherit !important;
       border: none !important;
       }
       ```

 * I have done that from the start, both trying checking all of them and none of
   them. No upload or “add new” button is available. Is there some small thing I
   am missing? The users which can register are authors and/or participants.
 * So, still at a loss. Thanks for the CSS style suggestion. I will give that a 
   shot.

 * Just to be clear the add document buttons only appears in the dashboard view.
   Users will need to head to the WordPress Dashboard to upload files.
 * Can you confirm that a normal users can’t see the add documents button from the
   dashboard.
