However, when I log in as the user type I am editing and click “Add new post”, I am redirected to the home page. * Is there a setting I’m missing? * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fallow-user-to-create-posts%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * [missveronica](https://wordpress.org/support/users/missveronicatv/) * (@missveronicatv) * [11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/allow-user-to-create-posts/#post-18551818) * [@rhodie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rhodie/) * Verify that you have set Role priorities and the Role for access to write posts has a higher priority than other User Roles. * [https://docs.ultimatemember.com/article/1494-how-to-set-role-priority-for-user-roles](https://docs.ultimatemember.com/article/1494-how-to-set-role-priority-for-user-roles) - This reply was modified 11 months ago by [missveronica](https://wordpress.org/support/users/missveronicatv/). * Plugin Support [Yurii](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yuriinalivaiko/) * (@yuriinalivaiko) * [10 months, 4 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/allow-user-to-create-posts/#post-18557382) * Hi [@rhodie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rhodie/) * This thread has been inactive for a while so we’re going to go ahead and mark it Resolved. * Please feel free to re-open this thread if any other questions come up and we’d be happy to help. 🙂 * Regards * Thread Starter [rhodie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rhodie/) * (@rhodie) * [10 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/allow-user-to-create-posts/#post-18560462) * It’s very odd. I tried this the other day and it worked, but today I came back to it and it’s no longer working. I gave the role that I want to be able to write posts a priority of 80, higher than all roles other than administrator, but the add new post link is again redirecting to the home page. * Settings: Can access wp-admin? YesForce hiding adminbar in frontend? No (although I would like to be able to set this to yes)upload_files: Yesedit_posts: Yesedit_published_posts: Yesread: Yes * All other WP capabilities are currently unchecked, although I have experimented with enabling e.g. publish_posts and delete_posts without success. * [missveronica](https://wordpress.org/support/users/missveronicatv/) * (@missveronicatv) * [10 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/allow-user-to-create-posts/#post-18560508) * [@rhodie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rhodie/) * > it worked, but today I came back to it and it’s no longer working. * Do you have a WP caching plugin or Web hosting caching active? * [https://docs.ultimatemember.com/article/1595-caching-problems](https://docs.ultimatemember.com/article/1595-caching-problems) * Thread Starter [rhodie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rhodie/) * (@rhodie) * [10 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/allow-user-to-create-posts/#post-18560521) * It is a wordpress.com site with Jetpack, but Boost is not installed. However, under “Performance & speed” these settings are enabled: “Enable site accelerator”,“ Speed up image load times”, and “Speed up static file load times”. I will try disabling those and let you know. * Thread Starter [rhodie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rhodie/) * (@rhodie) * [10 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/allow-user-to-create-posts/#post-18560524) * Update: no change. * [missveronica](https://wordpress.org/support/users/missveronicatv/) * (@missveronicatv) * [10 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/allow-user-to-create-posts/#post-18560540) * [@rhodie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rhodie/) * Try to do a Theme/Plugin conflict test. * [https://docs.ultimatemember.com/article/96-how-to-do-a-plugin-theme-conflict-test](https://docs.ultimatemember.com/article/96-how-to-do-a-plugin-theme-conflict-test) * Thread Starter [rhodie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rhodie/) * (@rhodie) * [10 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/allow-user-to-create-posts/#post-18561840) * I came back to it today and it’s working.
