Authors can't add new tags

  • I am facing an issue after upgrading to the latest WordPress 3.9.1 and using Polylang 1.5.3

    The authors can not add new tags to the posts, they can choose from the already created tags “Choose from the most used tags” and still sometimes when they try to save the post they get the error message page “cheatin”
    It seems like a permission problem. The authors of the website do not have the permission to manage categories
    To fix this issue for now I had to grant them the capability “manage_categories” which obviously fixed the issue.

    But before the update to 3.9.1 it was working like a charm, the authors could add new tags to the posts, anything changed?

    Note :
    I tried disabling all plugins and changing the theme. This issue appears only when Polylang plugin is activated.

    Thanks

    Hi!

    Could you edit the file polylang/admin/admin-filters-term.php at line 267 and replace:

    if (current_user_can($tax->cap->edit_terms))

    by

    if (!(current_user_can($tax->cap->edit_terms) || (isset($_POST['tax_input'][$taxonomy]) && current_user_can($tax->cap->assign_terms))))
