Capabilities not working adequately

Hi,

I have a lot of trouble with the latest FP-plugin in combination with WP 4.x.

Even I have set all capabilities for respective user roles correctly, there does no EDIT-Button appear in the list of posts. Only DELETE. Furthermore older posts cannot be edited or deleted at all.

The only workaround is, to check the box “Once published users can change status back to draft/pending”. But I do not want to give this permission to users.

Another bug: in the list of posts the title links do not work anymore.

Can you help?

Regards,
Dirk

The “issue” with older posts not showing any button was my fault. I forgot to adapt the settings accordingly.
But the other issues still exist.
I checked other frontpage plugins. But in my opinion FP is the best plugin for frontpage posting. Thanks for this.

Hi,

I will fix the link not working. there is a ” missing in the link text. If you want to fix it until I release a fix (within the next 24 hours), you can edit the frontier-post/forms/frontier_list_form.php in line 75
```
<a  id="frontier-list-posts-title-link href="<?php echo post_permalink($post->ID);?>"><?php echo $post->post_title;?></a>

You need to add a double quote after:   id="frontier-list-posts-title-link

<a  id="frontier-list-posts-title-link" href="<?php echo post_permalink($post->ID);?>"><?php echo $post->post_title;?></a>
```
Regarding your question in the other posts:

Ah, I see. Now I know why, users can’t see the EDIT button. But I don’t see any benefit in this behavior. I would like to uncheck this option without loosing the possibility to edit posts by users.

I am not sure what you are asking for, can you be a bit more specific.

Thanks for your quick reply.

I mean: I do not want to grant permission to users that they are able to draft posts -> only publishing. BUT: If I check the box “Allow users to change status from Published”, they get this permission.

If I leave the box unchecked, users do not have the permission to edit their posts. Please keep the permission for users to edit their posts, even this box is unchecked. I hope you understand my point.

Before I open another thread: I encountered another issue. If I set for users “Single selection” for categories, ALL categories will be shown, even I have made some exceptions. E.g. I do not want that users post with category “Important”. So I have excluded “Important” by category ID. “Multiple selection” does exclude “Important” / “Single selection” does NOT exclude “Important”.

Hi,

If you uncheck “can draft” for the profile (ex. Author) the user will not be able to save with status draft.

But will still have “Pending Review”

I might consider making an option for not using “Pending review” in this case the user would only have publish.

I will check the single category issue

Thanks, I meant indeed pushing posts back to “Pending” -> this is what I do not want. Yes, sounds great to have such an option.
