[Support request] Adding post editing and creating capability to Editor role

[BeeLady11]

Hi – I have set a user up as an Editor but the Posts link does not appear in his dashboard.

I have tried using a plugin to add the capabilities (User Role Editor) and it looks like everything to do with posts is checked.

I’ve also tried adding code direct to the child theme functions.php:
$role = get_role(‘editor’);
$role->add_cap(‘edit_posts’);
$role->add_cap(‘edit_others_posts’);
$role->add_cap(‘edit_published_posts’);
$role->add_cap(‘publish_posts’);
$role->remove_cap(‘delete_published_pages’);
$role->remove_cap(‘publish_pages’);

The site is http://www.brokenbog.com – any help gratefully received, as he is not able to add stuff to his blog.

Thanks

Setting them up as an editor should be enough.

If that’s not working, you might have a plugin breaking default functionality.
