Capability to prevent upload of files
You can try with this: function remove_media_tabs($strings) { unset($strings[“insertFromUrlTitle”]); unset($strings[“setFeaturedImageTitle”]); unset($strings[“createGalleryTitle”]); unset($strings[“uploadFilesTitle”]); return $strings; } add_filter(‘media_view_strings’,’remove_media_tabs’); This will remove ‘Upload file’ and ‘Insert from URL’ links when you open insert media screen, so user will be able only to select images or whatever that is already in media library.

WYSIWYG editor with image upload for “Normal Users” [closed]
I am working on a similar functionality. I want BuddyPress users to upload image, make a custom post and set the uploaded image as the post’s featured image. It is possible to do this, do not see why not. Maybe somebody will be able to post a complete out-of-box solution for you. In the meantime, … Read more
media_handle_sideload on a file already on server
I solved this by simulating a $_FILES array: $file_array = array( ‘name’ => basename( $file_path ), ‘type’ => $url_type, ‘tmp_name’ => $file_path, ‘error’ => 0, ‘size’ => filesize( $file_path ) ); And then $att_id = media_handle_sideload( $file_array, $post_id ); As simple as this..
Hide images from anonymous user?
Have you had a look at is_user_logged_in()? If you can explain how you’re serving the photos I can perhaps suggest a way to authorize some images to be shown and the rest hidden to only logged in users.
Choosing images size when uploading
For trivia WP will generate all registered sizes for every image natively.

The typical solution takes a little different angle. Instead … Read more
Is it safe to allow non-admin users access to media uploader
WP is reasonably secure for default use cases. In typical workflow it will call wp_check_filetype_and_ext() to verify that file uploaded is of allowed type. It can get considerably more questionable in regards to security if you customize it to work with non–default kinds of files and you might need to implement your own security checks. … Read more
What relationship determines which images appear in ‘uploaded to post’ in edit/add post media dialog
Solved it! It was an issue with the Polylang plugin stopping the image from showing, I’m not quite sure why but adding a row to the wp_term_relationships table, where the object_id is the id of the attachment, and the term_taxonomy_id is the id of the language definition in the wp_term_taxonomy table fixed the issue.
What are best practices to storing uploads in WordPress?
If you have a lot of uploads, using the /year/month/day/ approach is recommended in order to keep the number of files in each directory manageable. (Just today I ran into an issue where there were more files in the uploads folder [~12,000] than the FTP server was configured to include in a directory listing [~10,000]. … Read more
