 * I can create a user with the role of “Editor” but when that user tries to sign
   on and clicks on the dashboard, he is confronted with an almost blank screen 
   with a few options on the left that do not work
    You can see the screen dump 
   here: [http://www.andrew-leonard.co.uk/images/Editor-problem.jpg](http://www.andrew-leonard.co.uk/images/Editor-problem.jpg)
 * I have installed, activated and deactivated the plugin “Members” by Justin Tadlock–
   does not seem to make a difference
    All the other roles seem to work

 * Can you replicate the problem using the default Twenty Fourteen theme with **
   all** plugins deactivated?

 * Ugh!
    I changed the theme to the default and now it works I did not deactivate
   any plugins Where can I go from here? I presume something in my ‘children’ is
   upsetting the roles? Can you help me track it down? You can see a screen dump
   of my child theme here: [http://www.andrew-leonard.co.uk/images/child-theme.jpg](http://www.andrew-leonard.co.uk/images/child-theme.jpg)

 * Even more wierd
    I changed the theme back to the child theme and now it works
 * What is going on?
    Or should I just be glad it is working again!
