 * Hi,
 * assigning users to whitelists should be possible – I tested this on 4.6.6 and
   on 4.8 and it worked in both cases.
 * What exactly does not work for you? Are there any error notifications? Have you
   tried disabling other plugins, in case there is a confict?
 * You probably know this, but, note that not all users appear in the whitelist 
   GUI, because not all users can be assigned for logical reasons: i.e. you can’t
   assign administrators (because they could un-assign themselves anyway), or users
   who don’t have the _edit-others-pages_ capability (because then there is nothing
   to hide from them).

 * Hello again,
 * I have added a change that should fix the problem you described in your original
   post. Please update your plugin to the newest version.
 * I can’t really test this because I wasn’t able to recreate your error. I am marking
   this issue as solved for now; let me know if the problem still appears (ideally
   with the info I requested above).

 * I understand.
 * It’s just something that happens on the websites I maintain – the policy is not
   to let the users edit pages with shortcodes with them, so it’s either having 
   the users fill the albums and then wait for us to get them online, or preparing
   pages with empty albums and let them fill them as they need.
 * Different way of thinking, I suppose.
 * Still, thanks for the fast reply.

 * Hi,
 * that sounds like a conflict with something. Can you give me a bit more info about
   your setup? What’s your WP version?
    The plugin uses Ajax in the editor, uses
   a custom database tables and manipulates user capabilities – do you use any plugins
   that use/manipulate these areas?

 * Hi,
 * this is something new. The user edit page seems to be passing a variable incorrectly–
   this should be straightforward to fix, but I can’t recreate the error on my setups.
   Could you give me a bit more info?
    - what’s your WP version?
    - what role is the user in?
    - does the user have any assigned whitelists?
    - do you have whitelists, and if yes, how many?
 * Thank you, and sorry for the inconvenience.

 * Hi,
 * sorry, the plugin only manages access to pages – everything else stays as accessible
   as the role the user is assigned permits. If you need to manage posts/media, 
   you will need to edit the native WordPress capabilities of the user – the easiest
   way is to use a capability editor plugin of some sort. I have good experience
   with the User Role Editor, but there is a lot of options, so pick your favorite.
 * You will need to remove the capabilities that allow the user to edit posts and/
   or media ([https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities](https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities)).
   Most plugins will allow you to do it on per-user basis, but you can also do it
   for the entire Editor role (or maybe create a new role altogether, depends on
   the plugin you’ll be using).
 * Page Whitelists really only exists to mimic a specific functionality of Role 
   Scoper that can’t be done by editing native WordPress roles/capabilities – which
   also means that sometimes you might need to use both to get precisely the result
   you want.
 * I hope this helps, and good luck!

 * [@photocrati](https://wordpress.org/support/users/photocrati/) – what do you 
   mean? As I said, it isn’t a problem with the site setup; I created a new wordpress
   website on the same host, installed nextgen, and the sorting function didn’t 
   work. It doesn’t work on my localhost dev setup, either (so, probably not server
   setup). You should be able to reproduce this anywhere.

 * Hello,
    sorry for the wait, I didn’t get the notification e-mail for your question.
 * You can restrict any non-admin user that can edit pages: Editors, Authors, or
   any additional role that you might have created manually. Administrators and 
   users without the ‘edit_pages’ capability won’t show up in the Page Whitelists
   editor, so that might be your problem.
 * Users can be assigned to whitelist when you create/edit the whitelist (Options—
   Page Whitelists), or by editing the user (Users — Edit User). Note: make sure
   you upgrade to version 3.0.2 of the plugin, there was a bug that caused some 
   problems with the Edit User form.
 * Pages can be added to a whitelist from the whitelist editor, or directly from
   page editor (the metabox might be hidden by default – display it from the ‘Screen
   Options’ drawer in upper right corner).
 * I hope this is enough info to get you started, but ask if you can’t figure anything
   else out!

 * Hi,
 * this is unfortunately caused by a bug in the 3.0.x versions of the plugin: explanation
   in [this thread](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/notice-missing-update-user-button-missing-profileprofile_fieldphp?replies=1).
   The newest version (3.0.2) is fixed, so please upgrade. I apologize for the inconvenience.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your review!
    Yes, your problem is most likely caused by a missing
   capability (‘edit-pages’). Page Whitelists is substractive, so the user must 
   have access to all pages first. You can fix that easily with User Role Editor.
 * Have you by chance migrated to Page Whitelists from Role Scoper? Role Scoper’s
   access rules are additive, so it removes the ‘edit-pages’ capability. Unfortunately,
   it doesn’t do proper uninstall clean-up, so it’s necessary to re-add it aftererwards.

 * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/attach-gallery-pop-up-opens-blank/#post-5318834)
 * Hello again,
 * I have discovered what exactly was causing the problem:
 * We are using WordPress HTTPS to secure only wp-admin, and everything else to 
   use plain http. (“Force SSL Administration” and “Force SSL Exclusively”) This
   results in every non-admin site to redirect to http.
    This then causes the blank‘
   Attach NextGen Gallery to Post’ window, because the url you are using to load
   the data (“[siteurl]/nextgen-attach_to_post”) isn’t recognized as a part of admin(
   there is no way the HTTPS plugin could know it’s a part of backend, the url looks
   like a page). So it redirects it to http, and gets blocked by the browser.
 * I fixed it by setting the url “/nextgen-attach_to_post” to be specifically secured
   by https, and it works now.
 * That said, would it be possible for you to use a different url? We can’t be the
   only ones with this issue, and the solution is far from intuitive.
    ALso, the
   native ajax functions wordpress supplies don’t cause something like this.
 * Anyway, thank you for your time.
