Local Version – Editor Access

It looks like there is an issue that was introduced in 2.4.9 that prevents users with the editor role from being able to access the plugin. Even when Settings > Advanced > Show the dashboard widget for is set to “Editor and Above”, editors are not able to access the tool – it doesn’t show up in the admin menu and when going to /admin.php?page=view-broken-link, there is a “Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.” error.

I tried resaving the setting as mentioned in this Permission for Editor user after last update issue, but that did not fix it. I think it may be related to:

! empty( $local_settings->dashboard_widget_capability )

in app/admin-pages/local-submenu/class-controller.php, prepare_props()

Changing that to:

! empty( $local_settings->get( 'dashboard_widget_capability' ) )

Seems to fix the issue.
