uncheck publish_posts locks the backend

wozo

on a project i'm running "AAM" and "AAM Complete Package"

i created a new role and edited some capabilities

everything works fine, except when i uncheck the capability "publish_posts" for this role

users of this role cannot reach the dashboard anymore every backend functionality seems to be locked

"publish_pages" is working as expected but "publish_posts" triggers the problem

anybody had the same problem and maybe a solution?

thx

wozo quite odd behavior. The publish_posts capability should be used only to determine if the user has the ability to publish content and if this capability is unchecked, then the user should be able to at least submit it for review.

My best guess is that your website is setup in the way that it recycles this capability for more access controls, which is very common practice, however, highly discouraged.

You can attend one of the free office hours that I'm hosting on Tuesday 4pm EST and Thursday 8am EST and you can share with your screen so we can talk through this issue. It is near impossible for me to guess how everything is setup on your website.

Keep me posted.

thank you for your quick response

we'll try a few more things (deactivate some plugins etc.)

but maybe I will come back to you later
