Since there is no “default” directory in the templates folder, it throws errors. I don’t know where or why this happens since the default theme, should there be problems, is twentytwelve. * As a workaround for the moment, I’ve created a small plugin which checks to see if the template returned by the get_template() function is equal to “default”. If so, it switches the theme back to my custom theme. * I had previously reinstalled WordPress and seemed to experience this problem without plugins, database changes, and with the default theme. I wonder if it is a PHP issue; I see now that PHP 5.2.4 is required for WordPress 3.2, while the server is running PHP 5.2.17. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Themes "breaking", WSOD inconsistently](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/themes-breaking-wsod-inconsistently/) * Thread Starter [Doug](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spheric1/) * (@spheric1) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/themes-breaking-wsod-inconsistently/#post-3958859) * Yes, it broke again this morning. Twenty Twelve was active. When I went to the themes manager it said “The active theme is broken. Reverting to the default theme.” It switched to the default theme. When I checked again, it had reverted back to Twenty Twelve theme. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Themes "breaking", WSOD inconsistently](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/themes-breaking-wsod-inconsistently/) * Thread Starter [Doug](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spheric1/) * (@spheric1) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/themes-breaking-wsod-inconsistently/#post-3958699) * I edited it directly. To be clear, I left the TwentyEleven and TwentyTwelve themes untouched and in place; I copied to a new directory in the themes folder to create the custom theme. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Co-Authors Plus] Multiple authors can't edit pages](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-authors-cant-edit-pages/) * [Doug](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spheric1/) * (@spheric1) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-authors-cant-edit-pages/page/2/#post-2265247) * A user with ability to edit their own posts but not others couldn’t edit if they weren’t listed as the first author of a post. Typically their role would be that of Author. I believe by default Authors have the publish_posts capability. I was using the user-role-editor to add customize roles. The publish_posts capability was not granted to Authors and thus a problem. * If Authors have the publish_posts capability by default this problem won’t appear. It only becomes a problem if they don’t have the publish_post capability. (The publish_post is for granting/denying permission to publish _new_ posts/pages.) As mentioned, the system was checking the publish_posts capability to allow or deny editing of an _already published_ post. The problem is that this is the wrong capability; the edit_published_posts capability is for allowing/denying permission to edit already published posts. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Co-Authors Plus] Multiple authors can't edit pages](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-authors-cant-edit-pages/) * [Doug](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spheric1/) * (@spheric1) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-authors-cant-edit-pages/#post-2265243) * Ok. It took me a long time, but I figured out what the problem is. Line 833 of co-authors-plus.php checks for the **publish_posts** capability for _already existing_ posts. The correct capability it ought to be checking is **edit_published_posts**. Therefore, change the two occurrences of publish_posts to edit_published_posts and it seems to work properly. The modified line will then look like: `if ( ' publish' == $post->post_status && ( ! isset( $allcaps[$post_type_object->cap- >edit_published_posts] ) || ! $allcaps[$post_type_object->cap->edit_published_posts]))` * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Co-Authors Plus] Multiple authors can't edit pages](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-authors-cant-edit-pages/) * [Doug](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spheric1/) * (@spheric1) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-authors-cant-edit-pages/#post-2265235) * I tried what you suggested earlier in this thread without success. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Co-Authors Plus] Multiple authors can't edit pages](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-authors-cant-edit-pages/) * [Doug](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spheric1/) * (@spheric1) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-authors-cant-edit-pages/#post-2265234) * I’m presently having this issue.
