Hey,
I have on my site http://www.awayfromlife.com a couple of authors. Sadly they can not embed player like the bandcamp- or soundclound player. How can I edit the theme that my authors have the right to embed such iframe-codes in posts?
Thank you!
Best wishes, Simon
Hello AWAY FROM LIFE,
Please check the list below with Summary of Roles in WordPress https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities Normally, as author users you should permit to add an embed code on the post. Please try to make a higher, look like Editor and check if with this can you permit to add the embed code.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you!
Hello,
also if I add a new user as admin he can not add an embed code. What can I do?
Thank you!
User roles are managed by WordPress, not the theme. You may need to use a plugin to manage advanced user roles if not wanting to use default settings from the link @catalin provided above.
I think the user role “editor” works for adding embeds — oembed is a standard feature on posts in WordPress. Embeds work if it’s a supported format, and if you enter that on the correct editor tab.
Meaning, sometimes if you paste a Video URL from MS word on the visual editor, for example, it won’t embed because it’s wrapped in HTML when converted; so that has to be done on the text editor tab.
