Only admins appear in Author dropdown in Gutenberg editor

  • There’s a difference between the authors selection in ‘Quick Edit’ and the Post/Page editor forms (Gutenberg) – The ‘Quick Edit’ shows all those capable of being listed as Authors, while the Post/Page editor only shows admins. So two questions:
    1. Why is there now a disparity between these two selections?
    2. How can the Gutenberg ‘Post’ author list be changed to add other roles in code as ‘wp_dropdown_users_args’ no longer appears to work in Gutenberg?

  • Hallo @jonmojo,

    1. The difference between the author selections in “Quick Edit” and the Gutenberg editor likely arises from their distinct design goals. “Quick Edit” aims for quick changes and may show more user options, while Gutenberg emphasizes simplicity, often limiting to administrators for clarity.
    2. To modify the Gutenberg Post/Page author list, since wp_dropdown_users_args doesn’t work, you’ll need to create a custom function using WordPress hooks and filter like wp_dropdown_users. This function can query and include users with specific roles or capabilities you desire as authors. See: https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/functions/wp_dropdown_users/

    I hope this will help you ??

    Greetings
    Benjamin
