I run a multi-author wordpress site where we have a large number of contributors that can write articles, which are published after they are reviewed by an editor. (This is all standard wordpress behaviour).
What I would like to do is give the contributors the ability to moderate comments on the posts which they write, but not on posts written by other people. I haven’t found a way of doing this, either with a code snippet or plugin and am hoping that someone here knows how to make this work.
I was advised to try the User Role Editor plugin but unfortunately this doesn’t work.
I think the problem lies in the fact that contributors don’t have the edit_posts capability after the post has been published, and ‘edit_posts’ is required for ‘moderate_comments’ to work.
Is there a way to work around this?
Thanks
