    Hi,
    since about half of February 2024, the Authors on our site can’t remove themselves as Mologui Authors from their own posts. The box Authors apparently works without complaints, but the change is not saved. Everything works fine after upgrading Authors to Editors.

    Hi @alefnula,

    Thanks for reaching out! Yes, that was introduced as a security measure to avoid any unprivileged author publishing content in the name of others. Latest release (4.7.10) includes a hook so you can bypass that constraint. Just add this snippet to the Custom PHP option in the Authors > Settings > Advanced screen (or any other place you prefer, like in your child theme’s functions.php file):

    add_filter( 'authorship/post_as_other_author', '__return_true' );

    That should do it!
