advanced -> security feature not working properly

  • Hi,
    thanks for this great free plugin! I am trying to give editors access to the SEO metaboxes but it is not working. The only one who can see the SEO and content analysis metaboxes is the admin. Checking / unchecking the boxes in the Advanced -> security menu does not help. No matter which user I uncheck, they do not get the metaboxes. The Advanced switch is “on”. Am I missing a parameters somewhere?

    Thanks for your time,
    Roland

    Hi,

    make sure you have unchecked these checkboxes to allow the user roles to view the metaboxes.

    Also, make sure the metaboxes are not hidden from the Block Editor options panel.

    Hi,
    thanks for the fast answer. Yes I unchecked the boxes, but no effect. And I do not use the block editor, but only “old” html editor. (There is a plugin to disable the block editor everywhere. But if I disable that too so the block editor is active again, the problem does not go away).

    Are you sure your options screen are correctly setup? (top right corner)

    It may have something to do with the User Role Editor plugin that I have installed also, although I am not sure of that, since deactivating that plugin does not make the problem go away.
    The only way I can make it work now is to give the user who has ‘Author’ access an extra secondary role ‘Editor’. Then they have all the SEOPress boxes, both in the block editor and the original WP text editor.
    But that’s not such a good option, because then they can also edit other’s pages and posts. It would be nice if it would function without this workaround.
    Any ideas why? I tried many different things before posting to you, but to no avail…

    I’m not sure if it’s related to SEOPress but your user role must have at least the “edit_post” capability to be able to edit metaboxes.
