Would be nice to be able to disable translating authors, especially since it’s not actually getting translated but not super necessary for me as long as you can fetch all posts of an author the related guest authors with a meta query
I’m testing changes locally. Disabling Polylang just literally breaks WordPress the way it’s used here so I can’t even see pages.
You could be right though. Authors shows up as translatable Taxonomy inside Polylang. Compared to all my own Taxonomies and CPTs though, I can’t uncheck that. And I didn’t activate it. The checkbox is disabledPolylang doesn’t activate CPTs or Taxonomies on its own, I always had to do that manually. I’ve also never seen a disabled checkbox on that settings page.
I just deactivated every Plugin I could (still have acf and polylang because my WP doesn’t work without them) and it still creates a guest user when I assign an author to a page as a second author.
When I add the author and guest author at the same time to a page, it creates a second guest author. Doesn’t seem to happen again when I add all 3 authors (or 2 again like before) after that. That’s also the most I can see on the PROD instance. 1 User, 2 Guest Authors
Do you think acf or polylang could interfere with Authors?Here are before and after screenshots
https://imgur.com/a/usesUo3ok I think I have it as I want now. Still need to do additional testing.
In addition to the steps above (first step didn’t do anything, trying to assign a guest user to a wordpress User results in “Error updating author profile.“), I had to not grant edit_other but grant edit_published.
Before that I only saw pending or draft pages, nothing else. (with edit_other granted but not edit_published)After that I now see all pages with User 1 and User 2 but only the one where the user is assigned, is actually clickable. I think I can live with that, I’ll just filter out the rest somehow.
thanks
now User 1 (created the page initially) can edit the page again, but User 2 (added via Authors) can’t. No difference if I “X” edit_other or just leave it empty
thanks
Ok, setting edit_others fixes the white screen.
But as soon as an admin publishes a page, none of the attached authors can open the page.
So that can’t be changed without giving people edit_published? ( which then allows you access to every page because edit_others is active).So Authors doesn’t really work together Capabilities.
So basically I’d have to give them every permission to open and see everything and then filter out the ones I don’t want them to see myself on the overview and somehow redirect them from the edit page if they access one they aren’t allowed to via a link.
Or am I misunderstanding?Yes, I have every role set here so Authors and User are synched. Otherwise new users wouldn’t show up in the dropdown if I remember correctly.
I understood it creates an author if a new user is created when you set a role there.
The guest users are created when choosing an author on a page/post/etc
