Editor User Role Not Allowing Editing

    Hi guys,

    I am having issues allowing the “editor” role, which has all the capabilities within RankMath, the ability to edit using Elementor’s visual builder.

    Sure, they can make the page edits in the page settings before opening the Elementor, but when I edit using Elementor, I see the SEO tab for editing.

    I would like the Editor user role to be able to do that too.

    Am I missing something here or is it just not working like that?

    Thanks

    Assuming you are using the latest version, can you please tell us the steps to reproduce the issue? As it is working fine on our test site. Here’s a screencast:

    Hi guys,

    I have found the issue. So, the issue is with “Access to edit content only” selected.

    Basically, the editor role when this is ticked does not allow you to edit SEO settings on the front end. It works fine in the standard gutenberg editor view.

    So if you go into Elementor role editor, and tick this box

    You will be able to replicate it if you then try and edit on the front end.

    Hopefully this is something that could be suggested as I really want the editor to be able to edit content on the front end whilst using the SEO settings to keep it all in one place, rather than trying to flip between the gutenberg editor and the page.

    Hello @innuvo

    We tested it again by disabling the Rank Math plugin and were not able to use the feature you mentioned.

    Did you try it on your end and were able to use it with Rank Math disabled?

    If not, it seems like an issue with the Elementor plugin and you can bring this to their notice.

    Thank you.

    Hi @rankmath

    Disabling your plugin isnt the issue.

    The issue is when the box is ticked (as per my image above) to restrict the user to only edit content (elementor setting) then they cannot edit SEO on the visual editor, only when in the traditional Gutenberg view.

    So the issue is with your plugin and the Editor role where I would hop the editor, having been given permission, could edit the SEO info on the vidual builder, rather than through the Gutenberg editor.

    Hope that makes sense.

    Thanks

    Hello @innuvo

    When that option is enabled, Elementor removes all the modules and shows only the textarea to edit the existing content. Here is a screencast:
    https://i.rankmath.com/v3viPy

    Since the modules section is controlled by the Elementor plugin, this can’t be fixed (or say should not be added) by the Rank Math plugin.

    Our plugin is simply using Elementor’s hook to append our module which doesn’t run when that option is enabled.

    Hope that clears the confusion. If there’s anything else we can assist you with, please let us know. Thank you.
