• I’m in holidays and so I want that my CoAdmin can delete bad comments.
    I gave him user level 10 (through phpMyAdmin).
    Now he can delete all comments to _his own_ postings, but not such which were made to my postings (and visa versa).
    Any hint? Thank you!

  • wordpress policy seems to be that a level N user can only edit/delete the comments from level N-1 user posts. this is probably why normally users are restricted to level 9 (so the admin user at level 10 can do anything).

    this doesn’t really make sense because a level N user can edit the contents of another level N user’s posts.

    anyway, the fix is to go through edit.php and edit-comments.php and change code that looks like this:
    ($user_level > $authordata->user_level)
    and add an = sign to make it look like this:
    ($user_level >= $authordata->user_level)

    if you have the wpblacklist plugin, you’ll also want to edit the wpblsearch.php and wpblmoderate.php files.
