Editor can’t order posts anymore

Hello @jeanpaulsparrow,

I managed to replicate this behavior on my end. I opened a ticket with our development team regarding this issue and we will solve it in a future update.

Apologies for the trouble and thank you for bringing this to our attention!

Warmly,

Beatrice.

+1 on this one, and confirming that rolling back fixes the issue. hopefully you will be able to release an update soon. thanks!

@beatrice12 it’s line 332 (which is inside the update_menu_order function) that now does a check to see if user can ‘manage_options’. This is really only an administrator capability and should prob be ‘edit_others_posts’ to allow editors to save the menu order. Note that ‘edit_posts’ is probably too wide a capability.

Any ideas when we can expect an update rolled out?

Same here. My Client with Role “Editor” can’t use it.
I guess it’s because this is set

current_user_can('manage_options')

So only admin are allowed.
Here in your code: https://plugins.trac.www.ads-software.com/browser/simple-custom-post-order/tags/2.5.8/simple-custom-post-order.php#L332

In the previous version of 2.5.7 this was not set.

Please fix this!

BTW: There are some TODOs Comment for corrigé in the code ??

I have this problem as well. Is a fix coming?

Thanks. It’s a great plugin.

UPDATE: Additional observation…

One of our sites with SCPO is hosted on SiteGround with the Speed Optimizer/Caching plugin enabled. After re-ordering some posts, they don’t take effect in the dashboard until the cache is emptied.

1. Re-order posts in dashboard. Refresh dashboard page and re-order edits are gone.
2. Re-order posts in dashboard – THEN empty cache…re-order edits are still there.

Thanks again for any updates.

We just discovered this issue as well. Any updates on when this will be fixed?

Thanks!

Hi @jeanpaulsparrow, @blw3, @catholicservant, @benitheb, @harrisonrh, @airplanenoise,

I understand how important a quick fix is for you, and we truly appreciate your patience. Our developers are working hard to tackle multiple bugs, improvements, and new features with each release, which sometimes means it takes a bit longer to get specific issues resolved. While it would be ideal to release updates for each bug individually, that’s not always feasible, so I’m unable to give you an exact timeline at this moment.

Rest assured, though, that we’re actively working on this, and I’ll keep you posted with any progress. Thanks again for your understanding!

Warmly,

Beatrice.

Hello,

Just adding my name to the list of people who got caught out by this. I have patched it on my sites for now and use the permissions edit_others_posts, but I would appreciate a formal release that addresses this.

You may want to consider making the permissions filterable or configurable in the UI.

Thanks,
Anthony.

Hey y’all, I’m also seeing the same issue; however @harrisonrh find definitely fixed the issue in the meantime!!!!

Thank you so much for your help, and I genuinely appreciate the great plugin!

We have the same problem. In function update_menu_order() you ask for “manage_options” capability so not admin users can’t edit. A big problem for us, thank you for your help.

+1!

Adding my voice to this issue. Looking forward for a fix!

The same…
