 * Hi,
 * I am using members plugin and also Geo Directory.
 * I have lost the ability to assign users as authors of a directory listing and
   also the ability to assign authors to any post in general.
 * I have set my capabilities as suggested on this site but still it doesnt work.

 * I have been using support of Geo Directory and allowed them access to back end
   to see if they can resolve this but suggested contacting your plugin support 
   to aid with this.
 * Thanks in advance.
