Marking the post as resolved (development version) and look for a stable release soon.

1) the quick solution would be to hide the media menu, but they could theoretically still access it directly by the URL. You’d have to use the map_meta_cap filter (perhaps adding another capability and simply checking the current screen) to distinguish between the two contexts. Out of the box, neither core nor the plugin make the distinction.

2) If the documents can be public, try making them public? If they cannot be public, I believe draft may solve this problem (and remove the capability). Again, you could also use map_meta_cap to add additional capability checks, specifically within the post list table, to prevent them from displaying at all.

3) To clarify, so you can see the documents on the list, the document edit screen, or (download) the document itself?

Also, there are a handful of other permissions plugins out there which may be worth trying out and experimenting with, which should work with the plugin.

If you could please give the development version a try, the problem should be fixed there, but there’s also a bigger change to make the fix a bit more elegant, that I’m hoping doesn’t break anything… it passed all the (unit) tests at least 🙂

Sorry for the trouble, and look for a fix to this very soon.

I’ve opened a ticket on GitHub if you’d like to follow the fix’s progress.

Thanks for taking the time to report and diagnose the problem.

Could I trouble you to give the development version (zip) a try? I believe the issue should be resolved.

Unfortunately, the Custom Taxonomy generator is no longer supported, in favor of dedicating more time to the core plugin functionality.

Lots of great plugins already exist that do the same job much better than the custom taxonomy generator ever could.

I would recommend taking a look at Advanced Custom Fields or Edit Flow, both great plugins that work well with Document Revisions.

So to confirm, you upload a file, but they don’t appear in your uploads folder?

You said you set the upload folder to /wp-content/uploads… that should be the *PATH* to the folder, not the URL (e.g., /var/www/wp-content/uploads/</code.).

Can you write out (in psuedo-code if need be) what you’re trying to do?

Because documents are just posts, you should be able to query it normally, such as using wp_query or get_posts, if need be.
