Event Contributor role can’t upload featured image

Replies: 0

I am having a problem with the event contributor role. I can’t get it to allow upload of featured images.

I’ve tried this code with a regular contributor role and it allows the contributor to upload images, but I can’t get it to work for the event contributor.

 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');
 }

I tried changing contributor to eventcontributor, but that doesn’t work. I see no option to upload the featured image.
