Hello David,
This is indeed an option in the addon.
It is possible there to change the permissions. There is a check for the capability ‘gwolle_gb_upload_files’. If you allow that for other users and roles, then those users will be able to upload images in the guestbook form. The plugin User Role Editor can be used to change capabilities for users in different roles.
Please understand that I think this functionality is not part of the core guestbook. It only exists because users are requesting this.
Regards, Marcel
Hi Marcel,
This looks great and I have just purchased the add on. Hopefully I can figure it all out.
It looks like you have worked hard on this project and I can spare the $24 Australian 🙂
I have been fumbling my way through WordPress for years and can usually force it to do what I want, not what it wants 🙂
I’m only working on a fun little web site just to keep my mind busy. Bit of a social experiment really.
Hi Marcel,
I have figured out how to allow a user named Guest to attach photos. That account does have a password.
There are two minor aesthetic things that I’m yet to figure out.
On the page where a someone can sign the guest book if they are not logged in they are presented with the two login fields, user name and password.
I have unticked the setting to allow field names to be above the text boxes. It works for the other fields for actually leaving a message but not for the login fields.
The second minor problem is the link that says “write a new entry” is just black text and hasn’t got the link colour from my style sheet. Other things on my main page do get the specified link colour. The correct colour would be a great start but is it possible to get this to look like a button so it’s obvious users should click on it?
Otherwise it’s going great!
The Page is https://rockholiday.x10.bz
Thanks
David

Hi David,
About the first issue, I changed the CSS in the plugin to have the login label and field always on top of eachother. I am not sure if other people will complain now, I hope not 🙂
About the second issue. There is some CSS posted that should make the buttons more in line with another page.
It is quite messy, sorry about that. The editor here stinks. I hoe you can manage to use the CSS.
Regards, Marcel
Hi Marcel,
I think I read your posts out of order.
I’ll give that CSS a try. I’m a bit rusty with that but maybe me and ChatGPT can figure it out. 🤠
Thanks
David
