Inline Image Upload for BBPress

by BerryPress

Description

This plugin enables the TinyMCE WYSIWYG editor for BBPress forum topics and replies and adds a button to the editor’s “Insert/edit image” dialog that allows forum users to upload images from their computer and insert them inline into their posts.

A pro version with the following additional features is also available:

Change the directory where uploaded images are stored.
Limit which user roles are permitted to upload images.
Limit the number of uploaded images allowed per post.
Automatically downsize images to fit specified maximum dimensions.
Convert all uploaded images to the same image format, if desired.
Set PNG and JPEG compression levels so images take up less disk space.
Allow users to view enlarged images in a lightbox by clicking on them within the post.
View total image count and file size statistics.
Use Amazon S3™ to store and serve uploaded images in submitted forum posts (optional; requires add-on plugin purchase).

Works great, and great support

By jmarken on August 2, 2025

At first I couldn't get it to work and got a "critical error" every time I tried. When support read that, they contacted me and asked for details and then fixed it with an update in one day! I'm impressed…

Nifty tool that adds needed feature to BBPress

Inline Image Upload for BBPress is a nifty tool that adds a needed feature to BBPress. Simple to use and effective.

The best plugin

By Ricsca2 on September 20, 2024

This is the best plugin because it simply inserts images into threads so if you want to disable the plugin in the forum tomorrow the images will continue to be visible.

Very useful !

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

By ibnat on August 17, 2023

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.   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   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.   They have blamed other plugins for the issue and even suggested I upgrade to pro to fix the issues.   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.   Obviously the plugin is leaving some residue behind that should be cleaned up on uninstall.

They do not respond in the support forum.

By Clivesmith on June 14, 2023

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

Cut-throat Customer Service

By aaronmckeon on October 18, 2022

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!
