Editors Role Posts Not Pushing Automatically

    I’ve been using the plugin for a few weeks now, and I’m wondering if there is a way to get the Editor Role to push to Apple News automatically since I’ve given them the authorization to post directly on our website. I’ve looked through the documentation, and I can’t find anything on the subject.

    Is there some filter that I need to put in the functions? Am I missing a setting? Or have my editors not enabled a setting on their end? Thanks in advance for the help.

    Hi @percussivedave—

    The default capability that is used to determine whether someone can publish to Apple News is manage_options, which (as you have indicated) is not one of the capabilities of the Editor role, and you likely wouldn’t want to make it so.

    We do offer a filter that you can add to your theme or to a custom plugin to change the role that Publish to Apple News uses to one that is available to the Editor role, such as edit_others_posts. The filter is called apple_news_publish_capability:

    Is there any chance the ability to choose the roles that can or cannot publish to Apple News be implemented in the plugin? This seems like something a lot of blogs with several editors would need. Thank you.

    Hi @sebastienpage—

    The ability to choose the roles that can or cannot publish to Apple News is implemented in the plugin via the hook I mentioned. We chose to do it this way rather than have the capability configurable through the Settings page.
