WordPress tip: Allow contributors to upload files

Nothng hard with this code: The only thing you have to do is to paste it in your functions.php file:

if ( current_user_can('contributor') && !current_user_can('upload_files') )
    add_action('admin_init', 'allow_contributor_uploads');

function allow_contributor_uploads() {
    $contributor = get_role('contributor');
    $contributor->add_cap('upload_files');
}
