Show statistics to other user role

    Hi,

    I’m using the wp-statistics plugin on one of my clients WordPress sites. They have specifically requested that they want to see some site statistics so wp-statistics seemed liek a good choice.

    However they aren’t that tech savvy so I’m going to give them an editor account. So I set the user permission setting in wp-statistics to ‘edit_other_posts’. Unfortunately this is not working. The editor dashboard does not show the widget and when I try to go to the wp-admin/admin.php?page=wp-statistics%2Fwp-statistics.php page the permissions are denied.

    Is this a bug or is there something I’ve missed?

    Thanks in advance

    That should work, I’ll take a look and see if I can replicate the problem.

    It’s a bug, line 349 of wp-statistics.com is currently:

    if( !is_array( $wp_roles ) || !is_array( $wp_roles->roles) ) { return 'manage_options'; }

    change it to:

    if( !is_object( $wp_roles ) || !is_array( $wp_roles->roles) ) { return 'manage_options'; }

    The fix will be included in the next release.

    Yup, it works =)

    Hello Wisse,

    I tried to accomplish the same thing. But I could not figure out where to change the plugin-code to ‘edit_other_posts’.
    Can you please tell me which lines of the wp-statistics.php I have to change?

    @stefanlaberer, it’s not a line of code, you just have to set the view permissions in the Statistics->Settings->Access Levels tab.

    Thanks Greg! Ik haven’t looked good enough.
