Change default editor

    Is there any way to change the default editor pre-selected when adding new meetings? It seems to be using the WordPress Admin account for this but the person who enters all the meetings is not the admin. This means that every time they enter a new meeting they need to remember to change the editor. Not a huge thing but inconvenient. Thanks!

    Hi @theronb,

    Can you tell me more about what isn’t working for you? Assuming your meetings manager has their own login, what role have you given them? As long as it is editor they should be able to change meeting information even if they weren’t the one who initially entered the meeting? At least on my dev system, I don’t see any reason to change the name in the editor field.

    Am I misunderstanding the problem you’re facing?

    Hi Tim – thanks for the quick reply. Here’s the message I got from our office manager, who is responsible for all the meeting updates:

    “When I am in the meeting editor every time I make an entry I have to change the editor to my name. I have a dozen or so entries today and I noticed it keeps swapping back to your name. Do you know if there is a way to set it to default to the user that is currently logged in?”

    He is able to make the edits and change the editor name in each but it adds to his workload, perhaps unnecessarily. I’m guessing that the plugin picks up the WP Admin name for the default editor but if I change the WP Admin to him, then he will get all the WP admin messages that should go to me.

    This is not mission critical but our office manager is already plenty busy and I don’t want to burden him with non-value added steps if we can help it. Thanks for your help and your service!

    So I am not aware of any impact arising from *not* changing the displayed editor when making edits to a meeting. I am able to log into my system with a meeting manager account (that has Editor permissions) and can change any of the meeting information even if the meeting had been originally entered by the admin.

    I’m pretty sure your office manager can ignore that setting. If I’m incorrect, please let me know.

    If you still desire to see a change, please come over to our GitHub page (https://github.com/code4recovery/12-step-meeting-list) and open a new issue asking for a feature request. That will allow us to bounce the idea around.

    Thanks for using the plugin and providing meetings!
