I completely forgot to reply to this, it is a default permissions issue. I ended up downloading a user role permissions editor and updating the user permissions.

It however DOESN’T work from default like the Dev intended it to.

So, by default my user accounts were set to be author.

I installed WPFront User Role Editor

I then edited the user permissions for the following:

-publish_posts
-edit_posts
-edit_published_posts
-edit_others_posts
-delete_posts
-delete_published_posts

-upload_files
-unfiltered_upload

-publish_pages
-edit_pages
-edit_others_pages

Some of these settings may not be ones you want but they were what worked for what I needed. I guess play around and test what works for you.

Keep in mind my users have the WP backend disabled so they can’t get to or see the WP dashboard so I need the front end capabilities.

However this project is on the burner for me at this point, hopefully this helps some of the users with this issue though.
