Topic Tag: Access plugin

Problem: I have created a custom role with Access. I would like to choose a User in that custom role, when selecting the author of a post. It turns out that none of the Users in this custom role appear in the author dropdown options. What should I do to add and enable those author select options?

Solution: Please add a custom code snippet to your site in order to add these Users to the select author dropdown field:

function wpdocs_add_members_to_dropdown( $query_args, $r ) {
   
    $query_args['role'] = array('member');
   
    // Unset the 'who' as this defaults to the 'author' role
    unset( $query_args['who'] );
   
    return $query_args;
}
add_filter( 'wp_dropdown_users_args', 'wpdocs_add_members_to_dropdown', 10, 2 );

Replace member with the slug of your custom role.
