    Hi all

    For roles such as contributor or editor, this plugin somewhat overwrites the Posts menu item in the Dashboard when it’s activated. My contributors and editors see the “Tests” item twice (once for results, once for the general area), but no “Posts” item. They can only write new posts via the “+” button in the header bar, but not see the list of posts in the blog’s backend.

    This breaks functionality for me. How can I resolve this?

    Thank you.

    Hi @strikedamic!

    Seems like you have another plugin/theme, that breaks native WordPress functionality of “Custom Post Types”.

    1. Try to switch to another theme and check if issue will gone.
    2. Try to disable all other plugins except this and check that issue is gone.

    When you will find those other plugin/theme, that breaks the things — pls report back here.

    The proof that plugin not breaks in clean wordpress are these screenshots: “Test editing section with menu in admin” and “User see own tests results in admin area”. You can see that there is all ok. Those screenshots are done automatically in each release.

    ps: Also pls report your WP version.

    Hello Ustimenko

    Thank you for your quick reply.

    I have done all you’ve asked me to do, unfortunately to no avail. Deactivating every other plugin, then refreshing the page as a contributor as well as switching to the standard theme and refreshing always only showed two Tests entries and no Posts entry. My contributors told me they have seen this for long, but couldn’t tell me how long – maybe from the beginning.

    My version is 4.3.1.

    Thanks!

    @ strikedamic, ok, what is “contributor” role?

    How can I repeat this bug?

    Also I can offer you paid support with refund in case of bug in plugin. I will research this issue on your side and will find a reason. If it will be a bug inside plugin — I will refund you.

    The Contributor is one of the standard roles within WordPress… did you not know?

    And how much would that cost?

    Hello, I see you’ve updated your plugin but the problem persists for me even after the update. Did you make any progress about this? Thanks!

    Fixed in 0.18.

    Correctly add menu page under non-admin

    * Respect user role when adding menu
    * Rename page title to “My Test Results”
