 * Hi
 * Is it normal for posts to require approval by an admin on the backend before 
   the user can publish (versus save as draft or under review)?
 * I can’t seem to publish directly even with and admin account.

 * Hi! We have this feature in our backlog. We are gonna add a setting section to
   define the approval workflow. Thanks!

 * OK, good to know.
 * On a related note, this plugin would ideally enable admins to assign blogging
   rights on a per user basis via an admin screen (similar to how BuddyPress manages
   Groups in 1.7). Many BP communities have different types of members’ rights and
   by enabling this functionality you could determine who gets to blog and who doesn’t.
 * Thx

 * Try with version 1.3. Now you can choose the workflow type. Enjoy!

 * Hi,
 * I updated to your new version but the workflow settings does not exist for subscribers.
   I find it useful if subscribers have the possibility to write posts. The link
   for ‘My Articles’ has gone.

 * Hi Thorsten,
 * According with WordPress ([http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities#Capability_vs._Role_Table](http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities#Capability_vs._Role_Table)),
   subscribers can’t write posts. I mean, It was a bug in previous versions of social
   articles.
 * You should change the users role from subscribers to another rol (editor for 
   example)
 * Another posibility is add the edit_posts capability to subscribers using a plugin.
   For example: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-role-editor/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-role-editor/)

    Miguel.

 * Hi Miguel,
 * thank you for your fast response. I appreciated the bug before because a subscriber
   was able to write an article to the board and the admin could think about to 
   publish it or not without changing any rules.
 * If I set the role for subscribers to edit_posts so he is able to edit all posts
   what means from other subscribers too, am I right?

    Thorsten

 * Hi,
 * If you set edit_posts, the user can change his own posts. To change posts from
   others, there is another capability: “edit_others_posts”

 * You’re welcome! Please, look into the de_DE.mo file. There are a couple of lines
   without translate. If you update your file, please email me it to add it in next
   version.
