On one of my websites, the editor and subscriber have access to Dashboard, Profile and Plugins. This is really strange. There is no access to anything else - pages, posts etc.

Have tried re-installing wordpress and makes no difference.

Not using any user access plugins

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Chris

  • Hi, I'm afraid this is off-topic on Stack Overflow. Check out Wordpress' community forums http://wordpress.org/support/ – Pekka Jan 08 '13 at 12:54

You should switch to a standard theme such as twenty twelve and see if it woks properly, of it does the problem is your theme and you should contact the theme author.

  • Hi, it's not the theme. I think this plugin which was installed a while a go has broken it User Role Editor WordPress plugin http://shinephp.com/user-role-editor-wordpress-plugin/ Is there any way to re-insall capabilities in the database? – user23815 Jan 08 '13 at 13:12
  • The usual advice on the WordPress forum is to switch to a standard theme and disable all plugins, then reenable them until the problem returns. Removing the plugin should return things to normal, I don't expect it has modified the capabilities in the database. – Peter Wooster Jan 08 '13 at 14:40
  • Thank you very much for all your help. Managed to re-install the old plugin, remove restrictions and remove plugin. – user23815 Jan 08 '13 at 16:34

You should test the capabilities of your users and re structure them accordingly. Have a look at The Codex to get a list of capabilities for editors and subscribers.

If you want to use plugins, you can find some that will allow you to edit the capabilities.

else you can then use get_role(), add_cap() and remove_cap() to correct their capabilities.
