Uploading multiple files at once

[potta85]

I have a lot of content I'd like to upload to my media gallery for a good baseline, how do I do this all at once? I can't sit there and do them one at a time, it would take forever.

There's nothing built in which will do that.

So your saying unlike wordpress and other site platforms, there's no way to put content on my site all at once? I have to upload them one by one? No way to upload a group of files?

 

[Paul B]

Correct.

WoW, so where is all the files I'm uploading going? Where are they being stored? I'm talking pics and videos. I thought they would be in my hosting database. Because I uploaded videos myself and they are not in attached browser, are they going to my hosting?

XF cannot be compared to wordpress.
It's not static pages.

Content is permission controlled based on node/user group/member.

It has to be uploaded using the UI.

WoW, so where is all the files I'm uploading going? Where are they being stored?

Presumably on your server somewhere.

Ok, what is the UI? Does Xenforo dictate where content goes? And would content I upload using the UI go to my cpanel?

 

[Paul B]

I don't really understand what you're asking.

To upload media, you click the add media button here: https://xenforo.com/community/media/

Ok, so they are on the server somewhere. That probably means that when I find where they are going I can bulk upload, ok. I need to know if Xenforo some other means of storage. Because we couldn't find them, we'll dig deeper to locate them, thanks Brogan
