I ended up using the “Members” plug-in instead of the “User Role Editor” plug-in and the problem no longer existed.

Same problem here as well.

User Role Editor is definitely the root of the problem, with that deactivated Co-Authors queries the admin users fine.

Just installed 0.7, looks great!! Congratulations! If you need me to do any user testing or help out for the next iteration, I’d be more than happy to.

At the most basic, I think all I would need done is…

Upon clicking a “Send email” button next to a user group…

– The emails of all the members of the user group are automatically retrieved

– A form is generated: Subject, Message, Submit

– On submit: Using the wp_mail() function (I think it is), the message is sent to that list of emails generated.

Stories from that section that still need to be picked up by the contributors. Normally a description of the story and contact information.

As well as some general text and deadline info at the top of the email.

Thanks Daniel! The exact use case: As a college newspaper, we have a continually changing list of contributors to our paper and they sign up for as many sections as they’re interested in (News, Features, Sports). The exec and section editors (whom will have Editor privileges or above) are responsible for sending out an email to these users once a week.

The edit flow user groups would consist of “Features Contributors”, “Sports Contributors”, “Executive Staff”, etc…

So, it would be great for the admins to have an up-to-date list and to keep everything all in one place, accessible and public. The emails don’t need to be extravagant, just text-based, and the users should be able to respond to the sender but not to the whole group.

A plugin like “Email Users 2” would be exactly what I need, it just doesn’t recognize the Edit Flow usergroups as groups.

Hi Andrea,

That looks pretty much exactly like what I want to be able to do. I’m surprised there isn’t a plug-in for this already or that it’s that unordinary of a request. It looks like it took you a helluva lot of time to customize the admin bar to look like your header…and frankly, I’m not even sure where to begin! But thank you for the help, I’ll keep working at it!

Also, I’m not allowing users access to the theme files.

I want them to have pretty much full control over their site but have the same Navigation Menu on top. Similiar to, say, NBC.com’s website when you go to the individual show pages. Is there a way so that I can use the admin bar as a nav menu?

I want the same navigation menu and logo at the top of every site…it doesn’t even have to look exactly like that, if you have an alternative suggestion I’m open for it.

Well, no, I want them to have full control apart from the header and nav bar. Everything from the nav menu up right now should be repeated with all future sites (there’s not going to be a ton of sites so I can add this in manually if need be)…each site will then look completely different beneath the header (they can even have their own header) but the header along the top needs to unite the network.

Any ideas?
