OK, great. Thanks very much for your help.

But in this case, will I need to make my forms again? Or will it preserve the forms I have now?

Thank you very much, Mr Rabbi. I will do that.

Hello Tobias

Thanks for this advice. I was about to download ‘Members’ when I realised I already have a plugin installed which could do the same thing, called ‘Access Manager’. I hadn’t realised that Tablepress capabilities would be included in the options, but happily it was and I removed all the Tablepress capabilities for authors. Immediately the ‘edit’ buttons dissapeared, just as you said.

I’m very grateful that you pointed me in the right direction here. And there’s a lesson learned to: to solve a problem you sometimes have to redefine the problem.

Keep up the good work! And thanks again.

Hello Tobias

That was an amazingly quick response. Very grateful for that first of all and for your interest in my problem.

Yes, the main issue is that I don’t want authors to edit anything, including tables. They are strictly limited to posting. I prevent them from going into the back end, or at least I thought I had until this current problem.

It’s fine for editors and administrators to edit the tables.

Do you have any suggestions?

Hello, and thanks, first of all, for a very helpful plugin.

I have the same problem. My logged-in authors keep a private diary on the site (diarypal.com) and I don’t want them to be able to edit the tables.

So I was glad to find your plugin above. But when I tried to upload it I got this message at the WordPress admin:

File is empty. Please upload something more substantial. This error could also be caused by uploads being disabled in your php.ini or by post_max_size being defined as smaller than upload_max_filesize in php.ini.

I’m afraid this is a bit beyond me. I realise that this problem my be nothing to do with your plugin(s), but if you could suggest a solution or an alternative way of removing ‘edit’ I would be extremely grateful.

(I also tried moving it directly onto the server with other plugins, but got no result. It didn’t seem to be recognised.)

Yours hopefully,
Hasel

I have exactly the same problem. If either of you above resolved it somehow, I would love to know, or if there is anybody else out there…
