Blocks Dashboard Access for Users

Hello,

No one else has reported this. What theme are you using? What other plugins?

If we have the theme and plugins, we can try to replicate. It’s possible there is a conflict.

Thank you.

I’ll try it again. I did have some conflicts that I had to resolve. In addition, I’m brand new at WordPress and plugins. I’ll let you know when I try again if it was just something stupid I did. Thanks for letting me know it’s not a known problem. (I’m using 20-10 theme and many plugins.)

Thank you for the update. I’ll leave this open for a while to see if we get another report.

Note: we issued a release today. It removed the Admin name from the author list.

WordPress is worth learning. Good luck to you!

I just reinstalled WriteShare. As an admin, I could access the Dashboard, but when I logged out and logged in as a user, I could not access the Dashboard, so it is this particular plugin that is doing this to me. It’s not a critical fault but it’s an annoyance.

I’m using the Twenty-Ten theme with these add-ins active:
AddToAny Share Buttons
Akismet
All-in-One WP Migration
bbp style pack
bbPress
Capability Manager Enhanced
CM Tooltip Glossary
Comment Mail
Enhanced Admin Bar with Codex Search
Google Docs Embed
iframe
Profile Builder

WriteShare Writing Community Platform

I’m also having this issue. I’ve tried elevating members all the up to the user role of “author” and the dashboard is still missing.

I only have Writershare installed as far as plug ins go. I’ve tried multiple themes including WordPress 2017 and 2016.

WordPress is not sending me emails of support requests. I just signed in to find this and two other forum postings. I will reply to all 3 today. My apologies.

In functions.php of their theme. Add the code:

add_filter( ‘wpws_can_access_dashboard’, function( $roles ) { $roles []= ‘subscriber’; return $roles; } );

for users to be able to access Dashboard.
