Hi Cristian –

Thanks for your reply. This is exactly what I’ve been trying to do, but something isn’t working correctly…

I’ve tried using the role manager of the Members plugin and the role manager of the User Role Editor (separately). I add the capability for s2member Level 2 to edit posts, but my WP install doesn’t seem to be recognizing it — my Level 2 members aren’t appearing in the “author” drop-down list for blog posts, so I can’t assign them as the author/editor of the post. I’m not sure if there’s a problem with my install somewhere, or if I’m not setting something correctly.

???

Thanks,
Shawn

Norm and Dave – Thanks for your replies.

I want to give someone who joins through s2member author/editor privileges for a custom post type, and also for normal posts. As far as the plugin I’m using, it’s the Members plugin which has role management capabilities: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members/.

It seems that this offers the same role management functionality as User Role Editor, but maybe I need to compare the two.

I’ve given s2member_level2 the following capabilities:
edit_posts
delete_posts
edit_published_posts

But when I go to an existing post, an s2member in Level 2 is not listed in the drop-down of possible authors.

Am I missing something?

I don’t see anything in the capability list that indicates editing my custom post type. Would I need to add a custom capability for that?

The fact that it’s not working right for “normal” posts tells me something else must be wrong, though.

Thank you,
Shawn

Hi All –

I’m looking for a solution that would allow members of my site to add/edit posts on my site. I understand that this is not part of the core functionality of s2member, but I also understand that there are workarounds.

Is the “s2-hacks” mentioned above a solution for this?

I have the Members plugin and I’ve tried using that to edit/assign capabilities so my s2member role, but that doesn’t seem to be my solution. (The s2members still don’t show up as possible authors for blog posts.)

Thank you for any help/guidance. Please let me know if there is another post that addresses this.

Best,
Shawn
