Giving "Authors" access to protected content

Sorry, I’ve searched around here and could not find a solution for these, but could not find an answer.

1. We have a number of authors already set up in WordPress, and we would like them to have free access to the protected content. I tried changing them to an s@Member Level4 role, but when I do they are not able to author posts anymore. How do I give these folks access to the protected content, but still enable their ability to author posts – without giving them full administrator priveleges?

2. Is there a way to edit the css for the s2Member Pro logon widget? The font looks really large.

Thanks a ton!

Any thoughts on this anyone? All I would like to do is enable members of the Authors category to have access to the s2Member protected content. Any assistance with this would be wildly, enthusiastically apprecated!

Hello Ken,
please allow until Monday for an answer from the support reps.

I can’t answer your first question, but your second one, I believe this is controlled by your theme’s CSS.

You might want to look into your theme’s CSS and see if you can fix it for it to be smaller.

Hope this helps. :)

Hi Ken. Sorry I missed your post yesterday.

What restriction did you use to protect your content? An s2 Level or Custom Capabilities?

The Pro Login Widget has plenty of selectors you can use to style with CSS. A tool like Firebug may help you with that. http://getfirebug.com

Thank you both for your responses. I very much appreciate you taking the time to respond.

Regarding the appearance of the login box, I have corrected the issue by adding some custom css to style the text to my liking.

As for the permissions, the content is protected using s2levels, specifically s2member1 or higher.

Thanks for your time,

Ken

Have you tried editing the Author role to add the capabilities [hilite mono]access_s2member_level0[/hilite] and [hilite mono]access_s2member_level1[/hilite]? http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-role-editor/
