# Plugin blocks author access to edit.php and edit-comments.php

 * Hello,
 * I just installed your plugin and I have discovered that when the option **Allow
   contributors and subscribers to upload avatars** is enabled, the plugin blocks
   authors’ access to the _edit.php_ and _edit-comments.php_ screens. This issue
   affects **only users with the ‘author’ user role** (not admins or editors) and
   it goes away as soon as the ‘Allow contributors and subscribers to upload avatars’
   option is disabled. I don’t have any users with contributor or subscriber roles
   on my site, so I can’t say whether the problem affects these roles too, but my
   guess is it probably does(?).
 * Hopefully you’ll be able to fix this issue asap, your plugin seems really neat
   and I look forward to be able to use it once it has been updated.
 * Cheers!
    /jen
