Limit tags only works in Quick Edit, fails in full editor mode
-
I want to prevent WordPress users from creating new tags.
I have followed the instructions on this tutorial: https://publishpress.com/blog/permissions/stop-users-creating-new-tags/My Editor role has all the settings listed in the tutorial above.
My Editors cannot add their own tags when they use the Quick Edit tags function.
My Editors can still add their own tags when they use the full edit mode of the post.

Replying to myself, as the problem is solved.
I also installed the PublishPress Capabilities plugin and followed the instructions detailed here: https://publishpress.com/capabilities/Once installed, I went to Capabilities > Taxonomy Specific Capabilities > checked the boxes Categories, Tags > Clicked Update
I then went to Capabilities > Roles > Editor > Term Editing Capabilities > I left Manage, Edit, and Assign unchecked > Clicked Save Changes
Now those in the role of Editors can’t access the tags function at all, as I only want it for Admin level.
If you want partial permissions for this role, you can check Manage or Edit, and leave Assign unchecked (I believe). Do your own testing to be sure, as I did not need partial permissions.
