Hi John,

firstly thanks so much for your detailed reply!

I was looking into it a bit more and thought the problem might have stemmed from a separate function redirecting non-admins out of wp-admin if they tried to access it. e.g.

https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/front-end-form-image-upload-issues/#post-14656

Which didn’t fix it.

But did point me in (hopefully 😬) the right direction comparing it to your function.

The primary issue with my ‘user_has_cap’ function was it caused capabilities creep, giving participants the ability to edit others’ topics.

Prefacing my function with your ‘DOING_AJAX’ block seems to fix it: participants can upload and don’t have edit or mod rights for others’ topics.

Thanks again!

Francesca
