Some Data Gets Deleted When Authors Edit

    Hello,

    I use User Role Editor to give the author role permission to edit_pages and edit_published_pages. When an author then edits a page I see some unexpected behaviors – notably, the Page slug gets deleted and YouTube embeds get removed (these are inserted into the WordPress editor using the custom HTML widget).

    Does anyone happen to have any insights on why this might be happening?

    Thank you!

    I was able to resolve the first issue, this was because the author role did not have the ability to publish, only submit for review. This reverted the post to draft.

    Still experiencing the issue with YouTube embeds getting removed when a different author is assigned for edits. YouTube embeds are inserted using a custom HTML widget.

    If it’s a single site WordPress, try turn ON the ‘unfiltered_html’ capability.

    It will not work for the WP multisite though as it’s blocked by default for that configuration.

    This worked perfectly, thanks very much for your help!
