Authors can’t embed in Network installation

  • I created a WordPress network for a school. My idea was to have one admin by blog, and then authors. But users with Author role can’t embed resources from other services, so I have to embed everything as Admin.

    I installed iThemes security and I don’t know if that’s the problem or is a Security measure from WordPress Network.

    Is there any way to enable embed content for authors?

    Thanks!

    Giving the author role “unfiltered_html” capability should do it. There are a number of role and capability management plugins that will let you do this if you don’t wish to write the necessary code. The assignment is persistent, so the plugin does not need to remain active afterwards.

    Keep in mind unfiltered HTML carries some security risks if authors are not fully trusted. You can also add the capability to individual users if giving it to the role seems a little risky. Or create an “uber_author” role with the capability for the fully trusted authors. Anyone slightly questionable can then remain as simple authors.
