 * I love this widget it does exactly what I need it to do, except I want registered
   users who do NOT have access to wp-admin at all… none, no dash board nothing,
   to post and publish to the one category I set.
 * I have tried allowing new registered users to be “Authors” but have not found
   satisfying “role scrubbers” to actually hide the WP admin area.
 * I don’t want guests to post because I want people to log in. I have seen others
   post with the same need. It seems so easy to just keep everything the same – 
   invisible unless you are logged in- but just add a check mark next to each user
   rols that you want to be able to post and publish using Quick Post Widget.
 * If you casn’t can someone come up with a hack? I have tried other forms but this
   is the one I want.
 * I am also going to post a bug as another post.

 * I hope I understand you right but perhaps you can accomplish what you need by
   a small hack:
 * Try changing line 816 in version 1.8 of the quick-post-widget.php file, the line
   which says
 * `if ( current_user_can('publish_posts') )`
 * to
 * `if ( is_user_logged_in() )`
 * This way all logged-in users, also subscribers, can create posts with the Quick
   Post Widget.
 * Is this a solution?
 * By the way, on one of my sites I use the WPLite plugin to restrict admin access.
 * Perhaps the best way: I just tried the User Role Editor plugin and gave only 
   publish_posts to Subscriber and it works. This way I think you can accomplish
   what you need without hacking.

 * I tried your hack because that is what I want, and THANK YOU for your quick response.
   Unfortunately the widget still does not show up for a basic subscriber. Is there
   another line in the code that tells it when to show?
 * I will try the plugin you suggested until I hear back…

 * Well I did get it to work using Kahi WP Lite which let me specify a user level.
   It seems excessive but it works. I think your plugin would be PERFECT if you 
   could put up different widgets and choose which user would see which widget depending
   on their user level.
 * This way a subscriber might see a widget to post to a particular category, and
   admin would see a widget that lets them post from the front end, etc.
 * I would pay for that!

 * Glad it’s working now and strange the hack didn’t do what I expected. It worked
   on my testsite.
    As for your suggestion, I will give it some thoughts.

 * Wow [@diogo15](https://wordpress.org/support/users/diogo15/) I will take a look
   at that. That is exactly what I am looking for. There is no need for a visitor
   to see an admin’s quick post widget, and there is no need for an admin to see
   visitor quick post contribution.
 * Thanks!

 * Thanks for the heads-up on the User Role Editor plugin. I was faced with the 
   same dilemma as mrmclen and this worked perfectly for me.
 * Any chance of a future version of OQP having a frontend option for editing posts?
   Perhaps limit that capability to editing only the post on which the “Edit” link
   appears. TDO-Mini-Forms has that option, but no visual editor… I prefer yours
   🙂
 * Great plugin, thank you!

 * The plugin is evolving so perhaps in the future. I am limited in time but every
   now and then I build some new functionality and release it. Editing from the 
   front-end is a one of the options I keep in mind.
 * By the way, OQP you mention is another plugin ;-). This one is called Quick Post
   Widget, or QPW.

 * I just noticed your reply now (already a month went by… wow!).
    Oops for the 
   name confusion, my bad 😉
 * Today I’m a happy camper ‘cuz after updating the plugin, I see you’ve added not
   one, but two cool features. The new in-form visual editor is sure to please the
   less tech-savvy users by eliminating the need to launch it manually. Thanks for
   that!
 * Discovering the new widget area and shortcode is an uncanny coincidence as only
   last week, I had added a new in-content widget area to my theme, with a shortcode
   to include its contents in pages. It was done specifically so I could use Quick
   Post Widget in content. I guess great minds DO think alike 🙂
 * And I have a question for you: I’ve set max sizes for media uploads and embeds
   in WP media settings to fit my post content area, but large embedded images are
   not resized, they appear cropped instead. Do you have any suggestions for a code
   edit or addition?
 * Thanks again for the updates to this very useful plugin! (I’ve subscribed to 
   be notified of replies this time…)
