 * Hi,
 * Like this plugin but have a quick question if I may…
 * I have a ton of affiliate posts.
 * I can’t seem to locate the right settings that allow a user of each post to only
   edit their own post – nothing else i.e. die all admin, themes, plugins, etc.
 * I set the “editor role” to “edit published posts” only but, when I login as the“
   user”, the page is blank?
 * Also, can I get edited posts saved by users, held in moderation before being 
   allowed by admin to update and published?
 * This will save me a ton of time so hopefully, you can set me straight on how 
   to achieve the above.
 * Appreciated and Many Thanks

 * Update
 * Found it was WF plugin causing the issue (still trying to find out why) but, 
   I can now see the users post and able to edit.
 * However, I have only “edit published posts” checked but, it’s not hiding the 
   admin fields on the right of the page and below the post?
 * Just need to limit the user to modify/update their post only.
 * Any suggestions, please?
 * Many Thanks

 * Hi,
 * ‘edit_others_posts’ allows to edit post created by other user. User can only 
   view posts from other users if he can not this user capability. WordPress built-
   in ‘author’ role is a good example of such permissions.
 * WordPress offers the only way with edited post moderation: user without ‘publish_posts’
   and ‘edit_published_posts’, exactly like ‘contributor’ role has.
    Any changes
   made to the published posts become available to the public immediately.
 * It seems you need to look for a some plugin which will set custom scheme of post
   publishing.

 * Hi Vladimir,
 * Thanks for getting back to me 😉
 * Maybe I’m getting confused about this?
 * So I should be using both ‘edit published posts’ and ‘edit_others_posts’, right?
 * And how do I hide the WP sidebars and footer blocks below the post to stop the
   user from modifying them, please?
 * I can see ‘Screen Options’ and turn most of them off but, I can’t hide ‘Screen
   Options’?
 * Hope all that makes some sense.
 * Many Thanks 🙂

 * Hi,
 * Look at [this recipe](https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-disable-the-screen-options-button-in-wordpress/).
 * URE Pro includes add-on which allows to block selected meta boxes at post editing
   page for the role.
