    Hey guys,

    Thanks for taking over this plugin.

    I’m trying to allow vendors to have contributor capabilities for two different custom post types I’ve created. Are you aware of any specific setting that might be causing this to fail for me when I follow the typical instructions to do this. Are vendor roles created in a certain way that I’ll need to adapt?

    Sorry, I appreciate this is out of the scope of your plugin but perhaps there’s something about the vendor role that I’m unaware of that might stop this from being possible.

    Any advice would be great.
    Cheers
    Paul

    Hi Paul,

    Your very welcome, glad we can help. 🙂

    Have you tried the free plugin called “User Role Editor”?

    User Role Editor

    You can set any capabilities you like with it……..

    Hi Paul,

    Might be worth reading this also.

    http://justintadlock.com/archives/2010/07/10/meta-capabilities-for-custom-post-types

    It outlines how to add custom meta capabilities to your post types. This would allow you to only give them contributor to those specific custom post types and not all post types.

    cheers,

    @ben Thank you, I’ve tried that plug-in and the Vendor role is the only one that won’t take on the additional capabilities I assign it. Weird, I’ve tried all sorts of things.


    @jamie     Thanks I’ll look into that one!

    Much appreciated guys.
    Paul

    P.s. If you decide to create extensions or a pro version will there somewhere that I can submit feedback for feature requests please?

    Just a quick one, on https://www.wcvendors.com/knowledgebase/wcvendors-setup-guide/ the code for removing “Sold By” from everywhere didn’t work for me, but changing it too the following did:

    remove_filter( 'woocommerce_get_item_data', array('WCV_Vendor_Cart', 'sold_by'), 10, 2 );
    remove_filter( 'woocommerce_order_product_title', array( 'WCV_Emails', 'show_vendor_in_email' ), 10, 2 );
    remove_filter( 'woocommerce_product_meta_start', array( 'WCV_Vendor_Cart', 'sold_by_meta' ), 10, 2 );

    Cheers
    Paul
