Hi there! I know this has come up in the past, but I really need to allow Contributors to access the Post Settings panel on the post edit screen.

I really can’t change access levels for our writers (we’re a college journalism program and need to control who can publish), but we want our writers to have access to the additional settings, specifically the subtitle.

Is there any bit of code i can add to my functions.php to make the Post Settings section visible?

Thanks!

I also just realized the “Featured Video” and “Featured Audio” options are not available to contributor-level users.

Is this also something that can be made available to contributors?

Thanks!

Hi,

Unfortunately there is no option in theme or wordpress to allow the contributors to access the Post Settings, I think it can be done custom, or better you can change the users from contributor to a proper role. If this is not possible then the only solution will be custom work.

I also just realized the “Featured Video” and “Featured Audio” options are not available to contributor-level users. – those are restricted by wordpress and can be used by admin, editor and author.
