wpDiscuz - Media Uploader

Plain text comments can only say so much. Readers often want to share a screenshot, a short clip, a recording or a PDF to make a point. This add-on gives them dedicated upload buttons inside the comment form, so they can attach one file or several at once. It works with the wpDiscuz plugin and checks files as they are added, without reloading the page.

Site owners keep control of the details. You can set which file types are accepted, how large files may be, how many can be attached, and which user roles (guests included) may upload. Attachments show up inside the comment as image lightboxes or HTML5 video and audio players. The interface is responsive, supports right-to-left languages, and its front-end phrases can be translated.

Features

• Multiple media types: Commenters can attach photos, videos, audio files and documents such as PDFs, so a discussion can include more than written replies.
• Single or multiple uploads: Choose whether users attach one file or many to a single comment, depending on how your community uses the comment section.
• AJAX upload validation: Files are checked for size, count and type as they are added. Uploads happen through AJAX, so the page does not need to reload.
• Live previews and ordering: Users can preview images before submitting a comment and rearrange the order of their attachments within the form.
• Lightbox and HTML5 players: Images open in a lightbox, while videos and audio files play in HTML5 players directly inside the comment.
• Role-based permissions: Control which user roles, including guests, are allowed to upload media, which helps with moderation and keeps the community in order.
• Attachment editing and deletion: Users can remove or change attachments during the comment editing time frame, giving them control over what they submitted.
• Configurable interface and phrases: Adjust button visibility, upload limits and sorting order, and translate the front-end phrases. The design is responsive and supports right-to-left languages.
