Role manager

Don’t know that you need the Role Manager plugin for that.

If you make a user a Contributer then the posts they save will be saved as ‘drafts’ then your Administrators and Editors can publish those ‘Other’s drafts’.

Note–more up to date Role Manager plugin:

Yeah but in that case, how would the admin know that a post is ready to be published? That’s why I wanted something like “Send for approval”

Consider creating a Category for that, then the Admin would change the Category and Publish the post.

That’s a nice workaround, however, the category would display on the ‘category list’ and if people clicked on it they would get a page with no posts on it.

Exclude that category from the list.

Exactly in which file do you I need to paste that code into?

Depends on where you are displaying your Categories but typically that would be your Theme’s sidebar.php file.

Additional resources:
Template_Hierarchy
Stepping_Into_Templates

I pasted it but it didn’t work, it displayed all the posts I had made =\

I pasted replacing
<?php wp_list_cats(‘sort_column=name&optioncount=1&hierarchical=0’); ?>

Any suggestions?

I thought role manager would help since on some posts I saw when searched for this, people were mentioning it… what’s role manager for then?

Any suggestions? I haven’t been able to figure this out.
