 * What on earth? Why would you remove the Editor access to the Photo Gallery instead
   of making it an option to select which roles can have access? I need the Editors
   to be able to manage the galleries, is there a way to restore this functionality?

 * Nevermind, I found the zip file that you gave to someone else with this question.
   I still think it’s annoying that I cannot ever update this plugin though without
   losing that functionality, please consider adding it back in as an option.
 * For those who need it, here it is, and if you have the same question I had – 
   no you won’t lose all your galleries if you uninstall the new one and install
   this one instead.

 * [@shoelaced](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shoelaced/): I found a solution,
   that works very well for me with latest photo gallery 1.2.8:
 * install the user role editor plugin ([https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor](https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor))
   
   select the user you want to give access to photo gallery and active “manage options”
   for that user. ( In my case the user has the role author).

 * btw another nice and simple plugin is easy image slider ( [https://wordpress.org/plugins/image-slider-widget](https://wordpress.org/plugins/image-slider-widget)),
   which works out of the box with different user/roles

 * Dear users,
 * Please be informed, that this feature has been removed due to security concerns.
   You can also use Advanced Access Manager plugin to set up user roles.

 * Dear Bill,
 * This bug was fixed in the latest versions of the plugin. Please install the latest
   version. If this does not solve the problem, please click on Collapse Menu button
   to hide the WP menu.
 * Thank you.

 * I looked through all the limited documentation for Advanced Access Manager, and
   I cannot for the life of me see any way to enable access to Photo Gallery using
   this option. Rather than simply linking to the AAM site, how about giving us 
   a hint about how to use this?

 * Dear SeijiSensei,
 * With the latest version we have that feature as a Pro version. For free users
   the option is not accessible. Thank you.
