Found the issue, this code was running in snippits:

function restrict_dashboard_access() {
if (is_user_logged_in()) {
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$user_roles = $current_user->roles;
if (!in_array('administrator', $user_roles)) {
wp_redirect(home_url());
exit;
}
}
}
add_action('admin_init', 'restrict_dashboard_access');

 

This was stopping the upload feature.

To fix add an additional check to ensure that the redirection is only performed if it's an admin page and not an AJAX request. This allows the attachment uploads in wpForo to proceed.
