NO BUG: Editor with Edit Content capabilities can't edit anything

[knut_studio]

Hello!

I am not sure if this is a bug, but it seems that a user with an Editor role cannot edit anything even though they have Edit Content capabilities (in Brick’s settings).

This is what’s happening:

I have some users with the Editor role.

Then, I have set that by default all editors have Edit Content capabilities:

Doing so, I assumed editors would now have access to edit text, headings… within the Bricks builder.

However, if I access to a page as an Editor, this is what I get:

The red warning text says: “The element section does not exist”

And this is what I see if I change the capabilities of those editors from Edit Content to Full Access:

As you can see, the editors cannot see anything within a section.

What’s happening?

Thank you!

Hi,
Thanks so much for your report!

Hi @timmse,

I am testing if there is a plugin conflict, and it seems that the issue is related to Bricksforge.

I am going to investigate a bit further before bothering you!

If I can’t figure it out, I will reach you or Bricksforge support.

Thank you!

Hey knut Could you check what the „Editor“ role is showing you in the Bricksforge settings under „Customizer“? For me it looks like some elements have been disabled for this role

Hey Daniele!

Thank you for jumping in

I have finally managed to make it work. The editor role had some elements disabled, which was OK. But what I didn’t see was the “Keep the Changeability” toggle. With that off, nothing was editable. It is a little confusing!

Glad that it works now! And yes, that makes sense. Here a screenshot from the docs:
