 * Hi everyone-
    I’m trying to run TDO Mini Forms, but have been having some problems.
   I keep getting the same error of “Default author can publish posts. Default author
   should not be able to publish posts!” I tried using the “create a dummy user”
   link, but it still gives me the same error – it claims that my default role (
   subscriber) is giving write access.
 * I’ve tried using another plugin (User Access Manager) to create a group of users
   with only read access and creating a new user under THAT group, but it won’t 
   show up in the dropdown in the configuration page.
 * I’m pulling my hair out here. WHY does it keep telling me this?! I *know* my 
   subscriber role is set as the default, and even using pre-existing users (not
   using the UAM plugin) with only that role isn’t working.
