New Roles not shown in author-pulldown

  • Hi!

    I added a few new roles that all have permissions to do everything regarding posts (edit, delet etc). And actually they can!

    But when I as admin want to give an new author to a post, in the dropdown-menue there are only the admins or the standardrole-users (for example “author”). No new role is there, regardless what they have capabillities.

    What can I do that the new roles are shown in the author-dropdown?

    Have s.o. 1 idea? ??

    Thanx!

    I’m running into the same issue. I can create new user roles, but we can’t assign users with these roles to posts, pages or custom post types. I went into the phpmyadmin and changed the _user_level to something other than 0, and that will display the users, but this is not a solution because we can’t be going into the database every time a user is created.

    The docs have a function for activating the now depreciated User Levels with this function:

    remove_filter( 'members_get_capabilities', 'members_remove_old_levels' );

    It shows levels when assigning user capabilities, but it does not change the user_level in the db.

    A function for something if the user is a certain capability, then change user_level to 1 (or whatever will have it display in the author dropdown menu) would be much appreciated! Thanks!
