The way you stated it implied that the only way to apply a style to a link in any way was by making the link have a class and WP allows no way to do this, hence the “need” for your modification to the core functionality. Admittedly, if you’re trying to fit your existing stylesheet into WordPress without modifiying the stylesheet, what you say is true, but in terms of the seemingly accepted WordPress way surrounding the link with a styleable div or span it was not true.

Of course, your answer directly addressed the original poster’s actual question so it’s all good anyway.

Did you follow the install directions? Did you fill in the appropriate information in the wp-config.php file?

We’ll need a whole lot more information to try to help. Are you upgrading from a previous version? Have you performed the install.php step?

Any additional information you can provide would be helpful.

Obviously requires editing core files. I’d add a function called user_can_preview_post() based on the function user_can_edit_post() in wp-includes/functions_post.php. Copy it verbatum and change the line that says:

|| ($author_data->user_level > $post_author_data->user_level)

to be

|| ($author_data->user_level == $post_author_data->user_level)

Then edit wp-admin/post.php and search for the case 'edit': section of the code. Change the line that reads:

if ( !user_can_edit_post($user_ID, $post_ID) )

to be

if ( !user_can_preview_post($user_ID, $post_ID) )

It’s not perfect as they will still have “Publish”, “Save”, “Save and Continue Editing” buttons (yes, you could get rid of them with similar code in the edit-*.php files). They won’t be allowed to perform those actions — WP will error out — but it isn’t elegant if you catch my drift.

Very nice, I liked it from the first time I saw it :).

Under the “Syndication Feeds” subheading, by the way.

That’s essentially the Slashdot method.

1. Create blog.
2. Require PayPal transaction to get password for content.
3. ???
4. Profit!

As soon as you find the missing step come back and let us know :).
