    I have designed a custom role, which mirrors the standard ‘author’ role with a few extra capabilities added. The custom role I have created and assigned to users is not populating on the backend when I publish a blog post.

    How do I fix this?

    Solution:
    – turn on “deprecated” ‘level_0’, ‘level_1’, ‘level_2’ user capabilities for your custom role.
    – reassign (revoke, update profile, grant former role back) that role to your users in order to update the information about their user levels.
