Excuse me for replying to myself. I just deactivated all plugins and looked at the post section for the editor. Of course, the Gutenberg block editor was the only one installed because the Classic Plugin was disabled. The plus sign for adding blocks was NOT available in editor mode.

Thank you for your reply, Joy. Unfortunately, it does not really address the problem.

I had already checked to make sure that the editor can upload files. I neglected to stress that it is possible to access the media area in the “editor” role and media can be added and deleted by an “editor”. It appears to be just in the post area that the “add media” buttons are missing, as well as the tabs to switch between visual and text.

I’m not sure that adding another plugin is the answer. It also seems clear that it is not my theme that is causing this error.

I deactivated the classic plugin to see if that was what was causing the “add media” button to disappear from the posting area. But no. The “add block” plus sign is faded for the editor role and cannot be clicked (all appears normal for the administrator).

With the classic plugin activated, looking at the view-source for the posting page, the following coding appears for the “administrator” role. It is entirely missing for the “editor” role.

<div id="wp-content-wrap" class="wp-core-ui wp-editor-wrap html-active has-dfw"><link rel='stylesheet' id='editor-buttons-css'  href='/wp-includes/css/editor.min.css?ver=b1480859aa94c903cf25cff24d70acc2' type='text/css' media='all' />
<div id="wp-content-editor-tools" class="wp-editor-tools hide-if-no-js"><div id="wp-content-media-buttons" class="wp-media-buttons"><button type="button" id="insert-media-button" class="button insert-media add_media" data-editor="content"><span class="wp-media-buttons-icon"></span> Add Media</button></div>
<div class="wp-editor-tabs"><button type="button" id="content-tmce" class="wp-switch-editor switch-tmce" data-wp-editor-id="content">Visual</button>
<button type="button" id="content-html" class="wp-switch-editor switch-html" data-wp-editor-id="content">Text (HTML)</button>
</div>
</div>

Please note that this problem with the “editor” role being unable to add media to a post occurs if the twenty nineteen theme is chosen, whether the classic plugin is activated or not.

Here again, is the image with the screenshots of the post editing area (classic plugin activated)

And here is an image with screenshots showing the block editor:

Once again, please excuse me for replying to myself. Unfortunately, The Say What plugin did not work for me at all. I haven’t succeeded in changing the string, in spite of finding various methods for finding and replacing the string, including an earlier (2006) post specific to showing a similar string at lorelle.wordpress.com/2006/07/26/your-comment-has-been-moderated-stay-tuned-for-approval/.

However, as a compromise, I used “before” and “after” on the class “comment-awaiting-moderation” in the CSS to put the following into my theme’s stylesheet.

.comment-awaiting-moderation::before { 
  content: "Please note: ";}

.comment-awaiting-moderation::after { 
  content: " (It may take a little time. But as soon as your comment has been approved, it will be displayed universally.)";}

So, while there is still no answer to the original question, I’m going to mark this thread as resolved.

Thank you for your reply.

re:

You read the code that outputs the strings. That will tell you the exact string to use for the “original string”, “text domain” (if required) and content (if required).

Why does “if required” for text domain and text content not appear prominently in the support documents? Are you saying that these fields can be left empty?

I know the exact string. I have had no problem altering other strings; it is just this particular string that is giving grief.

I have read the example codes in the documents. That is not the difficult part. Locating the “text domain” for this particular string is the problem. It does not appear in the coding; the textdomain listed on the parent theme style sheet does not change the string.

But you are right. This plugin (free or Pro) is not for me. It is not cost-effective to pay such a large amount to alter one string. I have deleted it from my WP. Because I am not willing to pay for Pro, I will refrain from reviewing the plugin.

Thank you for your reply.

I am not guessing at the string. I confess that after hours of searching for the answer (including looking hopefully at the page on your site, “replacing-wordpress-strings-context), and after plugging “twentytwelve” into the text domain in your plugin and having the string replacement fail, I got confused about where the string was located. The string is located in “/twentytwelve/functions.php”.

At this point, I’m not sure that paying $40 (or more, depending on whether those are US or Cdn $) is the appropriate alternative in this case. It’s just one string replacement.

My question remains: how does one learn what the “text domain” and “text context” are?

Excuse me for replying to myself.

I installed the Say What plugin to use until I learn how to achieve this without a plugin.

However, my definition of “easy-to-use” is radically different from Lee Willis’ definition of “easy-to-use”. There is zero support for how to locate “text domain” or “text context” for the string “Your comment is awaiting moderation” that is located in wp-includes/comment-template.php.

Please excuse me for replying to myself.

I’m happy to report that after revising my category.php coding by looking at the following
https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/template-files-section/taxonomy-templates/#category
as well as checking my php coding at this very handy page at
https://phpcodechecker.com/

the category pages are now showing correctly.

Good idea, t-p. Thank you for your help.
