 * Hello folks, I’m having this weird problem: I created a new user giving him the
   role of author. Now, when the user signs in he sees that there is no Post menu
   on the left, only “dashboard”, “media” and “profile” are there. I tried disabling
   ALL the plugins and activating the Twenty Fourteen theme, still the same. I searched
   all over the internet but couldn’t find a solution. Please help!
