# Authors Pro causing editing post bugs

 * There are two scenarios in which the plugin causes an issue
 * A: Returning to posts created by myself causes the post to be only editable in
   code mode
    1. Create a post 2. Add new author to post 3. Publish post and leave
   window 4. Return to edit the post
 * B: Editing posts made by a different user and trying to return to the post again,
   causes the post to be locked from editing due to “someone else is currently editing
   the post”
    1. A different user creates a post and adds an author 2. You open 
   the post to edit it and save changes 3. Leave the post editing window 4. Return
   to the post editing window 5. Get message that you have to take over editing 
   or leave 6. Message says you cannot take over editing
 * I know that the issue is the Publishpress Authors Pro plugin because when I deactivate
   it, these issues go away completely, but also all our author data.
 * Would be happy to pay for support if necessary but was hoping there was a quick
   fix because the plugin is causing huge problems in that we often have to recreate
   posts from scratch and delete old versions.

 * Nope, that’s part of the issue, is that it doesn’t give me the option to switch
   back to visual editor.
 * Hi [@stevejburge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stevejburge/), Happy to
   put in a ticket but on the PublishPress.com [site](https://publishpress.com/publishpress-support/)
   it says to post here if you are a non member. Not sure where exactly I would 
   direct my question.

 * [@gianninaong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gianninaong/) You’re using
   Authors Pro, so you should have access to open a support ticket.

 * For pro or commercial product support please contact the developer directly on
   their site. This includes any pre-sales topics as well.
 * As the developer is aware, commercial products are [not supported in these forums](https://wordpress.org/support/guidelines/#do-not-post-about-commercial-products).
   I am sure they will have no problem supporting you there.
