Role is not adpated to child instance user

[shknetrole]

Hi!

I could set up a role for a limited user (example name:)”test”, which just can create posts, attache media to it and give it to revision to the admin of the mother instance, which then checks the post and publish or deletes it.

This works fine when I log in at (example url) mother-instances.de/wp-admin with this user.

What I need next is that this role works for the user “test”, which is related to a certain blog/child instance.

When (example url) child-instances.de/wp-admin is such one, here the settings of the role are not given.

How is this to be set up? Or at what place?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Matt,

I suppose from your message, that you use WordPress multisite, and “mother instance” is a main blog, but “child instances” are subsites.

You should network activate User Role Editor.

Then after configuring ‘test’ role and ‘test’ user at the main blog, you may go to the “Network Admin->Users->User Role Editor” and click “Update Network” to replicate ‘test’ role to all subsites of this WordPress multisite installation.

Go to “Network Admin->Users”, select ‘test’ user and click ‘Capabilities’ link under his row. Then click “Update Network” button. This will add ‘test’ user with his current permissions (e.g. ‘test’ role assigned) to all subsites.

Hi Vladimir,

now it works perfect!

But one more problem appeared.

I saved a post at the child instance, and it was given to revision to the mother instance admin, showed at: all posts. So far the way it should be.

But when I created another post at the child instance, it wasn´t showed at the mother admin instance at the post overview list.

What is the logic and admin setting to give all posts from child instances to the admin at mother instance to check there and publish at least?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Matt,

By default post created at WordPress multisite subsite A are available at the subsite A posts list only.
I may just suppose that you use some plugin or theme that allows to admin of the main site to see the posts from all subsites at one place, do you? It’s difficult to imagine something about logic of the unknown product.
