How can I let others change my posts ?

  • We’re using WordPress to build a team web site. So most of the posts become web pages. I created the initial pages under the admin user, by cutting and pasting our existing pages into WordPress.
    But I want all the people in the team to be able to change the pages. When they list the pages in edit, they don’t see the Edit option next to the page (presumably because they have lower access rights than admin). I could run some SQL to change the author to a user at the same level as the rest of the team members. But it looks like that won’t help, as if two members are of they same level, they don’t seem to be able to edit each other’s pages.
    What is the best way to sort this out ?
    Thanks

  • Just ran into the same problem:
    First change all the posts from admin to level 2 or 5 or whatever level your users will become.
    Then go to the edit.php file and change the line (somewhere around line 116; can’t check it out now, I’m at work) where it says that if (user_level > something && user_level == something). Change this to (user_level >= something && user_level == something). So you change the fact that a user has to have a higher userlevel into higher\ or equal to.
    Do the same a bit lower on in that same file for the comment editing, and all users of the same level can edit/delete each others posts and comments. ??

    Thanks very much, I’ll do that.
    But I’m suprised that this can only be achieved by hacking the code.

    How did you change the posts, did you run your own SQL update statement ?
