    Thanks for the great plugin. Everything works well as an admin, but my editors cannot attach media to a category. Is there some code I can add to my functions.php to give them the admin role for your plugin?

    e.g. to accomplish the same with a redirect plugin, I added this:
    add_filter( ‘redirection_role’, ‘redirection_to_editor’ );
    function redirection_to_editor() {
    return ‘edit_pages’;
    }
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the positive feedback and for your question.

    MLA uses the WordPress roles and capabilities to ensure that updates respect the permissions defined for your site. I just ran some tests on my system and have had no problem assigning terms in the WordPress Categories taxonomy with a user account defined as an “Editor”.

    The current MLA version does not have any filters for modifying roles or capabilities, but I would like to know more about your application and why the existing WordPress functions are not working for you. Any additional information you can provide would be helpful. Thanks for your interest in the plugin.

    It has been a month since the last post in this topic. I hope you have found a solution that works for your application.

    I am marking this topic resolved, but please update it if you are still having trouble with the “Editor” role.

    Hello, yes, resolved, thank you! Your response told me the issues was something unrelated to the plugin, and so I dug deeper.

    The problem was that the editor had inadvertently switched from “Detail View” to “Icon View” in the ML. The checkboxes to select the media are more difficult to see and didn’t match the documentation I wrote up. I revised the instructions to include this image, and we’re all set.

    Wrong view/Right view

    Thanks again for the awesome plugin!

    Thanks for the kind words and for the happy news that you were able to resolve your issue. Let me know if there’s anything else I can do to help you get the most out of MLA.
