Hi Kevin. You can use the User Role Editor. Once activated, go to your users list and when hovering the user’s name, you’ll see a link named “Capabilities”. Click it and you’ll be taken to an editor to enable the WP capability for that particular user instead of the role. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-role-editor/ I hope that helps. :) |

Thank you for your help. I just tried that after reading your response. I added it and gave the S2Member Level 1 role the ‘publish posts’ capability and they still aren’t selectable in the “author” section of the post editor. Is there something I’m forgetting? Thanks in advance. |

I don’t know what capability is required to show up in that dropdown menu. Here’s the codex page for roles/capabilities: http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities |

Thank you Cristian. For some reason, even with publish_posts capability activated for S2Member Level 1 users, they are still unavailable as a selection in the author section of a wp-post. Any other thoughts? |

I’m not familiar with the WP capabilities. :/ I’d ask in the WP forums what capability is needed or what you need to do for the user to be listed as an author. |

I just noticed that there’s a WP role named “Author”. I’d make a note of the capabilities it has and then add them to the s2Member Level role you’re trying to have publish posts. I hope that helps. :) |

I thought of that, the problem is that some of those capabilities include giving them the ability to edit other people’s posts, which I cannot allow. However, I’ve already added the ‘publish_posts’ capability and it is not working. I currently use that same capability with a similar gravity forms installation that does not have S2Member and it works fine, so I’m stumped. Maybe it would be important to mention that I am using gravity forms to generate the posts. Here is what happens, in case this helps:
I hope this better explains where the hangup is. I am currently using gravity forms for a similar purpose but without S2Member installed and everything is functioning correctly, so I’m trying to figure out what I can modify between the two plugins to achieve the desired affect. Hopefully you can help me. |

I don’t really know what is causing your problem… In the other installation without s2Member, you’re obviously using other roles than s2Member’s because you don’t have it installed, and I don’t know what capabilities the other roles have or not, compared to the s2Member role. s2Member doesn’t have to do with role editing, I suggested that solution to achieve what you wanted, but it’s not something the plugin supports yet. So you need to test this to find what works, I don’t have experience with it to give more specific advice. :/ |

Fair enough. If I figure out the root and solution to the problems I will repost to help any others that may run into this issue. Thanks for trying Cristian, I appreciate it. |

Cool. I hope it doesn’t give you much trouble. Sorry I couldn’t help more with that one. |
