You mean, mix up comments with posts, or posts where the user has commented even though not being the author, with his own posts ? Or maybe better: a dedicated dropdown populated with comments by the user: “My Post Comments”, etc…?

In fact, the more I look at WPS Blog Post, the more I see it with the ability to deal with any custom post type… As many dropdowns as the admin wishes, just click and add that dropdown. A significant rework but worth the price.

Hi, thanks for your post.

At this stage this is not possible. Simply put, this plugin will substitute the author.php page with the WPS Profile page, by listing blog posts so that readers can browse their posts by author, as well as access any other information about the author. It is not aimed at frontend posting.

Maybe an idea for a future release, meanwhile you could try searching for plugins that allow posting from frontend, although this wouldn’t be from their WPS Profile page.

I will come back to you tomorrow, “my” tomorrow – I’m in France. I need a couple of tests.
For my understanding, how long has it been that you don’t see this options page?

Thanks for your nice review.

We’re adding styling options to the next release of the plugin, and we’ll surely consider your suggestion of adding the option to increase the Toolbar height…

Just woke up from ‘my’ night… Sorry to read this is not solved.

Couple more questions here:
– could you go to the last box of settings (export) and check that the value of ‘wpst_toolbar_wp_toolbar’ contains all the roles that shall see the Toolbar, not only ‘administrator’ and ‘visitor’?
– are the roles that don’t see the Toolbar, some of the default WordPress roles, or were they created with a role management plugin? If so, how do they look like?
– when you write they don’t see it, did you test this yourself or is this only based on users’ feedback? (and did you try that checkbox “show Toolbar” on top of the WP Profile page)

For info this part of the code hasn’t changed at all with the forthcoming release so I wouldn’t expect this to magically solve with v0.0.18. I am willing to understand what’s going on and eventually fix it.

First, make sure the Toolbar should actually show. There’s a personal setting in the WP profile page for each user to show or hide it, the plugin doesn’t enforce this setting so if it’s hidden from there, it won’t show.

If it should show but doesn’t – Try deactivating other plugins and switch to another theme. There might be something else removing the Toolbar for these roles.

Hope this helps.

The release 0.0.15 just uploaded hardens the plugin to avoid such warnings in case a stored option isn’t an array… And the plugin does an extensive use of arrays to store roles. I was a little concerned with the overhead it might represent in term of page load times, but tests ran by my preferred tester (here above, many thanks to him) didn’t show a significant increase in load times, and users don’t like PHP warnings (I don’t either).

In general if you find that the plugin has an odd behaviour, visiting the options page will inform of any discrepency in the saved options, and saving those options should sort things out.
