One user can’t edit her own post anymore

    NinjaFirewall keeps sending me warnings about how it blocked a user trying to edit or create a page for which she does not have the necessary rights.

    The user in question has the Editor role, which includes all 12 post capabilities, and the post she’s trying to edit was created by herself.

    I could turn off NFW > Firewall Policies > “Block attempts to publish, edit or delete a published post by users who do not have the right capabilities (recommended)”, but somewhow I feel that would be wrong, as I can’t see why an Editor is incapable of editing her own post.

    Is there a way to read out of the ultra-long php backtrace where exactly things go wrong here?

    Thanks!

    That’s odd because it shouldn’t happen as the firewall checks the capability (edit_page and/or edit_post) of the user trying to edit the post/page.
    Could you try to create a new temporary editor user, login as that user and try to create your own post and then try to edit it, just to see if it works or not?
    The backtrace may not be helpful here as that is not a hacking attempt.
    Did you check the NinjaFirewall > Dashboard page for potential warnings and errors?
