Hiya, 

I cannot figure out how to embed photos and videos into posts on my forum. I did purchase the plugin (WP says that it is active). I also can't find it in my admin controls to figure out if it is enabled. Also, where do I find the plugin activation key settings? I just want to make sure that I did input the activation key for the plugin.

Hi @katavallo,

Please let us know the add-on you've purchased.ย 

Do you mean the wpForo Advanced Attachments addon? To tell the truth, I don't follow you well. It'd be easy for us to understand the issue if you provide us some screenshots.ย 

Please see the difference between the wpForo Embeds and wpForo Advanced Attachments addons.ย 

The wpForo Embeds addon is designed as a core post content replacer. It checks content provider URLs and replaces to content provider view (video, audio players, social network widgets, etc..).

wpForo Embedsย is a 3rd partyย URLย (Youtube, Soundcloud, etc.) embed-er addon.

wpForo Advanced Attachmentsย is aย fileย attachment plugin. Itย allows attaching multiple files, images, videos, audio and all other file types youโ€™ve allowed in settings.ย

Yes, I am talking about wpForo Embeds. I can't attach a screenshot because I do not know where to screenshot - I do not know where to look. 

Can you tell me how to embed on a forum post? I can't figure it out. I do not see any icons appearing to attach YouTube videos etc. into a forum post.

@katavallo,

You just need to insert the URL of the video in the editor. 

e.g. the following link from youtube will be automatically embedded if the wpForo Embeds add-on is installed and activated:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUjb-QOFk2Q&t=4s

Got it. Figured out the video part. 

How would someone embed a photo or gif?

@katavallo,

You can use the code explained in this support topic to display the attached image file as an image:
 
Also, if you copy the full URL to the image, (not the page on which the image is located) insert it into post content. it'll be automatically replaced to an image. This is built-in wpForo feature:

For an advanced attachment features you should check out wpForo Advanced Attachment addon:
