moderate comments Don’t allow user to approve/delete comment

Hi @psypat

Thanks for using PublishPress Capabilities.

Does the comment menu show at all?

Yes, it does, but the user cant do anything, and on pic 2, there should be “approve, mark as spam” …. so the user can do it directly..

Hi @psypat. It’s worth reading this guide to moderate_comments: https://publishpress.com/blog/capabilities/moderate-comments/

That has more details that we can share in a quick reply here.

Now i’ve read it, but is there no way to give contributors access to manage comments on their own posts?

@psypat Sorry, to the best of my knowledge, WordPress doesn’t have the option to be that specific. It may be possible with custom code.

@psypat Good news. I had some spare time today and dug up that custom code that’s needed for what you want.

Hopefully this helpful for you: https://publishpress.com/blog/capabilities/wordpress-authors-comments-posts/

Check out the section called “Allow Subscribers and Contributors to Manage Comments On their Posts”.

Oh, Wow, Thank you!

That’s what i call REAL support!

I Haven’t read it all yet, but I will!

I have now read thru it, and apparently i only missed the “edit published” option for the users, However, this gives the user access to EDIT the post after it’s been published, and therefore bypass the “review”, so that way they can make a clean post, get it approved, and then later go back, and rewrite it completely..

.. That’s not good…

Can’t they just be allowed to control the comments?

@psypat Sorry, it will not be possible because that’s just how default WordPress work. If the core WordPress does not provide custom permission to separate them, our plugin will not be able to assign anything.

Ok, then I understand, Thnx for all help..
