Hi,
Can you explain better what are you trying to achieve? You can register users with the role of Editor if you insert role=”editor” in the wppb-register shortcode – example [wppb-register role=”editor”]. You can read more here.
To manage roles and permissions I suggest you use a free plugin called Members.
Best regards,
thanks for replying!
Created an user with the shortcode [wppb-register role=”editor”] which is successfully registered as editor. Unfortunately when logged in as editor it’s the same behaviour I described above (redirect to home when trying to edit a post or page or trying to access /wp-admin).
I’d just like to use an editor instead using admin for security reasons to be able to create posts and pages.
How is the plugin designed for the editor role by default, anyway (backend access/front-end edit?)?
Hi,
Here you can see the default permissions for the Role Editor – https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Roles_and_Capabilities#Editor.
To edit the permissions for the Role Editor, install Members plugins and go to Users -> Roles -> Select Editor and click on Edit -> Grant the permissions that you want and Update.
Best regards,
hi,
guess we misunderstood. I don’t want to edit any permissions of the role editor, but just would like to use the wordpress editor role with default permissions while having this plugin in use.
Registering an user with editor role with above shortcode just does not grant any permissions that role has by default.
This makes me wonder how the editor role works with this plugin as it does not allow access to the backend, also (where the most options for editors are)..
Hi,
I tested it out and it works correctly. Can you try other roles in the shortcode to see if you the user has the right permissions?
Also do you use any other plugin for register / roles / redirect / members?
Best regards,
