[Plugin: Role Scoper] Auto save resets category to default

  • I have a strange issue with Role Scooper. I have a user account that is in user group Editor. I have given this user privileges to post in certain categories.

    Logged in as this user I can post to those categories, no problems there. But, if i leave the “write screen” open, the autosave resets the post category to default. Nothing changes visibly in de write screen, but if check the site, that post has been moved to the default category. If I just hit the save button once again, everything is ok, and the message has been returned to the category I originally put it in.

    This behavior is gone if I disable Role Scoper.

    I use Role Scoper version 1.3.46.

    I’m not dropping this but I need to clear some other tasks first.

    @gioggiolo: Are you also using a Woo theme? If yes, witch one?

    No, i have a wpzoom theme.
    I have no problems using Admin user, while it happens using Editors and Contributors… maybe Authors.
    I have set:
    Editors can: manage users and all posts.
    Contributors can: manage all posts.
    Authors can: manage all their posts.

    I have restricted just a category (called Staff) with following settings:
    Post Reader Restricted for category
    Private Post Reader Restricted for category
    Post Contributor (Unrestricted by default)
    Post Author Restricted for category
    Post Editor (Unrestricted by default)
    Category Manager Restricted for category
    Category Assigner Restricted for category

    Anyway i temporally solved disabling the autosave.

    Is there a solution coming for this issue? I am cleaning out my “bug list” but this one still at the top of my list ??

    Are you still seeing this with Role Scoper 1.3.51? It includes another fix related to post category assignment.

    Yip, still there unfortunately.

    I am also having this problem, with Role Scoper 1.3.51. I have Contributors who are limited to a single category. When they update a post in their category and Publish/Save it, it will sometimes revert to Uncategorized, even though they made no edit to the Categories.

    I made customizations to the Post Editor to hide the Categories from the page, since they are not supposed to edit them. The problem occurs when this customization is not included and the contributor simply doesn’t edit the category.

    This is our top-priority problem, as we use Categories extensively to configure our site as a multi-user CMS with user-to-category-based access.

    Our particular admin for conributors prevents access to changing categories, so all I need to do is eliminate RS from modifying categories at all. Can you advise where this occurs?

    After further debugging, I see that Role Scoper is not at fault.

    The problem was in our own theme code for setting up post categories, which had a call to wp_set_post_categories with a single Category ID number (rather than the correct array of ID’s) as the second arg. This is incorrect. It seemed to be working on post creation, but I suppose it was really RS that was doing that work.

    garenor, you might want to take a look at the fix I suggest here (or try the development code later once I update it to 1.3.54-dev).
