User accounts

I would like to set it up so that other users can edit a wiki page, but I want them to be contributors only. Is there a way to set it up so that contributors can log in and edit a page (and is it possible to limit a user to a particular page–but I know that is a completely different issue)?

Thank you,
Debbie

Hi Debbie,

The plugin checks that the user has the right to edit posts, which the contributor has (though a contributor cannot publish them). This evening I can try it out to make sure it works. I suppose you could create a test contributor account if you want to see what it will look like for the user.

There are plugins that limit access to pages in the admin dashboard if it is too cluttered or you need to restrict some things. I haven’t needed to use those so I don’t have a recommendation right off.

Regards,

David

Hi Debbie,

I tried this and it did not work — maybe that is what you were telling me 🙂 Sorry it did not work as expected.

I can work on getting the proper role permissions setup this weekend. I’ll post back here to let you know how it goes.

Best,

David

That would be so wonderful, I really like the way this wiki looks and would really prefer to use it as opposed to the others I’ve tried out.

You mentioned plugins that limit access, do any of those make it so an individual contributor is blocked on all but their page? It’s no big deal if not, but I thought I’d ask.

Thanks again,
Debbie

Hi Debbie,

I set the role permissions to work the same way they do for posts and published an update. Please try it out. I think WordPress checks for plugin updates once every 12 hours.

I see two popular plugins that allow you to hide admin menus:

https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/adminimize/

and

https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/admin-menu-editor/

One of those might do what you need in terms of hiding parts of admin that you don’t want them to see.

Best,

David

Awesome, David, it’s working just like I need it to! I love the way it defaults to “Mine” when you access the list too. That will make it easier for each user to edit their own. If I can make it so that they cannot edit another’s that will be awesome (not that I expect realtors to sabotage each others pages, but you never know) but it’s not the end of the world if I can’t do it right away.

Thank you,
Debbie

I’m glad it is working out for you. I believe that “Contributors” can only edit their own items.
