Meta Box Not Available

    I’ve been using this great plugin as a network administrator of a WP multisite installation without any issues. But I’ve learned from one of the site admins that he can’t see the plugin’s meta box on the Pages screen. He also can’t see the settings under Tools, and clicking the ‘settings’ link next to the name in the Plugins page does nothing. I’ve temporarily diminished my privileges to match his and I also can’t see them now. Has this always been the case that site admins can’t use this but network admins can? If not, what can you recommend that I do? Thanks!

    Hi!

    The plugin hides (and disables) its functionality from users who do not have the WordPress capability unfiltered_html since that would be a security risk. This is a build in default for WordPress itself. In a regular single site install, admins (and editors) have this capability, but in networks, they do not.

    I have chosen to not mess with this scheme, since I trust the WP core folks to know better than me on this.

    For example, a user on site D on the network would be able to inject arbitrary javascript on his site, potentially stealing credentials from any user (including you) and highjacking the entire network.

    You could grant his specific user the unfiltered_html capability if you trust him using another plugin, and they’d have access to Scripts n styles features. But only do that if you trust them!
