Editor Capabilities management

  • We have “Manage Capabilities Externally” selected.

    We realized that some of our roles were set to Editor Type: “Minimal Visual” instead of “Full Editor”. However, with Manage Capabilities Externally, the page will not let you update this field.

    (We didn’t want to change back to not Manage Externally, make the change, and then, go back to Manage Externally, as we weren’t quite sure how our capabilities customization would change, so we made the change directly in the database).

    I think, even if “Manage Capabilities Externally” is selected, you should still be able to edit the Editor Types from the UI, and right now we can’t.

    Hi,

    You got a point.

    Challenge is that I do not have a plugin to test managing capabilities externally and this hasn’t been reported before, so I need to look deeper into this.

    If you are comfortable to edit the php files of Frontier Post, you can do the following change (remember to take a copy of the file first):

    1: Locate plugins/frontier-post/include/frontier_post_util.php
    2: Find the function: frontier_post_wp_editor_args (around line 820)
    3: Change this if statement:

    From:

    
if ( fp_get_option_bool("frontier_post_external_cap") )

    to:

    
if ( false )

    This should work

    Let me know if it works, and I will add it to the next stable version.
