The form does not allow non-admin users to add new terms

  • Hi Shabti,
    Hope you are doing fine.
    I am facing an issue with the AFC-frontend plugin.
    The form does not allow non-admin users to add new terms to custom fields.
    You can check it on this page:
    https://www.worldpronet.com/companies-form
    Password: wpn2020
    Try to add a new tag to the ‘company relevant tags’ field, but it will not show any option to update it.
    Thanks for your kind support.
    And Shana Tova.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • To allow a non-logged-in user (guest) to add new tags, you would need to temporarily grant the manage_categories capability to the anonymous or non-authenticated user. However, this poses a major security risk, as it would allow anyone to add or modify categories and tags, which could be exploited.

    Hi Amirosein,

    That’s why the page is protected by a password.
    In the past Frontend allowed it and if I’m not mistaken it also allowed only to add and not delete existing ones.
    Anyway, please let me know how it can be done.

    I have no idea but create a custom role with manage categories capability and create a user under that role, and share that user’s password with your target audience instead of page lock, and make them simply logg-in with a form like current password lock form.
