Thanks, Kevin, for reply, but I am not really using categories so I can't do it this way.
I have three pages in the blog and am not using categories. I want to assign page specific permissions to the different roles for each page as follows:
1) welcome page: Read and comment reply permissions for anyone who visits the page; post/edit permission only held by the administrator.
2) customer page: Read permissions for anyone who visits the page; reply permissions only for admin, editors, authors; post/edit permissions for only admin, authors, and editors.
3) guide page: Read permissions for anyone who visits the page; reply permissions only for admin, editors, and authors; post/edit permission only for the administrator.
Can anyone advise me how to setup Role Scoper plug-in to WordPress to do this?
