# Can’t edit specific posts

 * I am having trouble editing some posts by users assigned to a specific role (
   author). If the user wants to edit the post, a white screen appears (print screen:
   [http://prntscr.com/lbCSRxM8w9iw](http://prntscr.com/lbCSRxM8w9iw)) and there
   is no possibility of editing. By default, a user can edit posts and posts he 
   has created ([http://prntscr.com/ucMixsbcZHb0](http://prntscr.com/ucMixsbcZHb0)).
   The problem appears periodically for different users with the same role (author)
   and it concerns only specific posts. A user with administrator privileges has
   no problem with editing. So far, I have worked around the problem in the administrator
   account by duplicating a given post and assigning permissions to it for a specific
   user – but due to the fact that the problem appears regularly from time to time
   and it is bothersome, I decided to write here.
    PHP version is (5.6.40), plugin
   version is 2.3.4

 * Hi [@mikadoprojektowanie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikadoprojektowanie/)
 * Thanks for using PublishPress. It’s unclear if this is an issue with our plugin.
 * Can you see if you can find an error message, either in your browser console 
   or your site’s error logs?

 * Hello Steve, thank you for your message. I appreciate your help. There is “Failed
   to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 ()” error in browser’s
   console. There is no debug.log file on server.

 * Hi [@mikadoprojektowanie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikadoprojektowanie/)
 * The next step is to try disabling plugins one-by-one to see if deactivating any
   of them can solve this.

 * Hello Steve, thanx for your respond. I deactivated most of the plugins (beside
   PublishPress Capabilities plugin and Advanced Custom Fields plugin) and it helped.
   What’s more – when I activated all plugins again, everything was working fine.
   Probably WP-ShowHide plugin cause the problem, because there is a lot content
   in post. If the problem occure again I will switch off and on that particular
   plugin and everything will be clear.
    Thanx once more for helping me and I wish
   you all the best.
