Hello,

I have got role scoper working as I want it for posts and pages but I'm having a problem with custom posts. I have a custom post type called Events. I am using categories to control the permissions. I have categories set up for different regions and I want to allow regional authors to only add posts and events for their own region (i.e. within the category that matches that region). I am using the same categories for both default post types and Events. So to set up the permissions I went to Roles > Categories and assigned the regional authors permissions for the category representing their region. This works fine with the normal posts but but if a regional author is logged in thay cannot add or edit Events. I want them to be able to add new events (only with the category matched to their region). I can't figure out what else I need to set in order to make this work. Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Aidan

Thanks for the quick response Kevin. Yes that was the problem and you lead me to the solution. I only had the roles:

Post Reader
Private Post Reader
Post Contributor
Post Author
Post Editor
Category Manager

and I was missing:

Event Reader
Private Event Reader
Event Contributor
Event Author
Event Editor

The Events checkbox did actually show up under roles > Options > Realm the Post Type Usage. I had looked at that Problems link before but thought it didn't apply since I was already seeing the Events checkbox at that point. But the solution was there - I needed to specify a priority of 1 when registering the Events custom post type. Once I did that, those 5 roles related to the Event type showed up, and checking one of those resolved my permissions issue.

Thanks for your help! Your role scoper plugin adds a lot of power to WordPress - great work!
