Kevin,

I am using Role Scoper on a test members site. Regular members can post in one category and access pages that non-members cannot see. New members are assigned the contributor role. When Role Scoper is deactivated, Wordpress functions normally, so that when contributors press the “Submit for Review” button, they get a “post submitted” message and are able to go on doing something else. When Role Scoper is active, contributors get the error “You are not allowed to edit this post” on an otherwise blank screen. Other that this, the contributor role seems to function as it should, but that error message is not a good result. Can this be fixed?

Thanks

Thanks very much for kindly providing a helpful hint, even thorough your documentation by itself provides very clear explanations.

I had a group that could read some restricted categories and publish posts in one category. New members are supposed to get the same capabilities, but only be able to submit posts, not publish them. I don’t think I had a blanket restriction that was making my new user get that error, but I still can’t tell you for sure exactly where the conflicting setting was. The problem was resolved when I created a separate group with my required capabilities and put the new user into it. That resulted in there being only one available category in the user’s “add new post” screen and no error on pressing “submit.”

I can see that Role Scoper is a powerful addition to Wordpress. It is good to know you keep working on development while providing first rate support.

can't edit my forum post?

anyway I'm having the same issue with a standard contributor thing, how do I resolve this (use small words please ) honestly this is really wierd it just keeps doing it where do I define that I want the contributor to add a new page.
