adding create post ability to user group

  • Hi, first off awesome plugin!

    I have three user groups, Editors, Staff Writers, and Contributors.

    Contributors have everything locked down except from adding posts and uploading pictures. This was working perfectly until I submitted a new Post from a Contibutor author, and since that has been submitted, none of the Contributor group users have an option to Create a new post in their side bar once logged in.

    I’m not sure what has changed, but do you know how I can add a privilege to their setup to allow them to create a post, as I can;t find an option for that anywhere?

    Thanks.

  • Thanks to Vladimir who was unable to identify that one my site the reason some roles were unable to add new posts was because they did not have the “delete_posts” capability.

    As a temporary fix I added that capability to those roles and the problem was immediately solved.

    However, I have now had a chance to search all plugins for the actual cause for this. I found that the “offending” plugin is “WP User Avatar” when used with the setting “Allow Contributors & Subscribers to upload avatars” enabled.

    Thanks. I just hope that “unable” at the 1st line of your message is a typo?

    Yes, definitely.
