This  plugin sounds amazing but I've been incapable of getting it to work. I downloaded the Capabilities plugin and created a new role called "Edit a page." I then restricted access to page editing before moving on to assigning roles to pages. I choose my user "Charlotte" who has the role of "Edit a page" and then selected the page that they could edit.

I choose "Page Reader."

In the capabilities plugin, I first selected all the options for "Edit a page" role. I then went through and took them off one by one to see where the hang up is. My "Charlotte" user cannot edit their page if the "activate plugins" box is unchecked.

What?!?

I don't understand what activating plugins has to do with editing the page. Please help ASAP!
