[Plugin: Capability Manager] Editor can't manage comments (3 posts)

    Users assigned the Editor role aren't able to manage comments despite having the 'Manage Comments' box checked. For Adminsistrators everything is showing up as it should be ip address, edit, delete etc
    Everything in CM is working perfectly apart from this so I really want to get this to work. Any ideas?

    A user can only manage comments for the pages he can edit. So, to edit comments on others users posts, needs the capability 'Edit others posts'. And to be able to edit comments on published posts, needs the capability 'Edit published posts'. Same for pages with 'Edit others pages' and 'Edit published pages'.

    This is the WP behavior. The plugin only adds or removes capabilities to a role, but does not change the way WP uses this capabilities.
