 * This code only works for contributors upload pictures but can not see private
   page.
    Why did not it work?
 * `
    if ( current_user_can('contributor') && !current_user_can('read_private_pages'))
   add_action('admin_init', 'allow_contributor_read'); function allow_contributor_read(){
   $contributor2 = get_role('contributor'); $contributor2->add_cap('read_private_pages');}
 * if ( current_user_can('contributor') && !current_user_can('upload_files') )
    
   add_action('admin_init', 'allow_contributor_uploads'); function allow_contributor_uploads(){
   $contributor = get_role('contributor'); $contributor->add_cap('upload_files');}
