Hello,

I use an image_upload in front but the loader keeps turning and the image never show.
Looking a xhr request, i get an "Access denied" response
```
array(
    'name'    => __( 'Poids max : 2Mo ; 72dpi ; Format min : 350&times;220px', 'vm' ),
    'id'      => 'vm_image',
    'type'    => 'image_upload',
    'max_clone' => 1,
    'max_file_size' => '2mb',
    'force_delete' => true,
),
```
I tried other fields with no success.
Do you have a solution ?

Regards,

Hi,

The problem with image upload in the frontend is permission. Users need to login and have the upload_files capability. WP doesn't allow anonymous user to browse the media library and upload there.

So, I'd suggest you use the simple image field, which allows uploading images, or you need to add more capabilities to allow users to upload (users still need to login though).

Hi,

My users are logged in as they are "subscribers".
I already set the upload_files capability via Advanced Access Manager before open the topic but the problem still remains.

var_dump(current_user_can( 'upload_files' )); returns bool(true) but they can't upload files.

I also tried the simple image field with the same result (images are not uploaded).

An idea ?

You are right : simple image field works (but image_upload not, even with upload_files capability). But my field is in a group and it does not work.
