Allow my member to create blog post

Hi @kayakcommunciation

Unfortunately, UM doesn’t have a feature for allowing users to create blog posts. You can only display blog posts in the Posts tab in the Profile Form. You can allow users to create blog posts via WP Admin > Post. You can allow them by checking the following capabilities to the User Role settings:

– publish_posts
– delete_posts
– create_posts

You also need to allow the user to access the WP Admin by checking the option “Can access wp-admin?” in the same User Role settings. User role settings is in WP Admin > Ultimate Member > User Roles.

Just in case…

You can use WP User Frontend to allow members (by UM role) to create and publish blog posts without access to the wordpress dashboard. You can add the WPUF shortcodes to the UM Account page and add simple links to the blog form.

But that was 3 weeks ago…you probably got it sorted out already.
