Support » Fixing WordPress » No submit-for-review control for level1 users

  • The administration panel documentation suggests that you can set newly registered users to ‘submit posts for review’.

    However, I can’t find this functionality in my default installation at all. Installed today at http://cefn.com/curiosity/.

    Creating a level 1 user for testing (the default user level when ‘submit posts for review’ is selected) leaves my fake user without a publish or review button at all in their site admin interface.

    Similarly, logging in as admin after a level1 user has saved a post as draft or as private (the only controls offered), gives the admin no visibility of the post or any controls to publish it.

    The posts I can find on this don’t lead me any closer to a solution, but I can’t believe that this is just a vapourware function – it’s so specifically supported in the user level programming approach.

    If I can make it work, I certainly prefer this ‘submit for review’ option to the alternatives – either allowing all people to post without review, or stopping all people posting anything until I’ve specifically logged in and upped their privs.

    What am I missing here? How can level1 users flag their posts as ready for review and publishing, and how can administrators find out that there are new drafts for review.

    Help is gratefully received.

  • hey guys.

    have you found the “submit for review function” yet?
    in wordpress 2.0, its pretty easy when you’re the administrator to see if there are any saved but unpublished posts created by other users.

    setting a user role to contributor can also force them to “saved post” only, so the administrator can review them before publishing.

    it isn’t the most elegant solution, but it sort of works. to the best of my knowledge however, there is no “alert” to the admin via email. the admin will still have to log in to the wordpress account to see if there are any drafts by other users ready for publishing.

    anyone have a better solution for this?
    thanks.
    Ronny.
