Me must transfer some user genderated content from an old marketplace script.
So we create a CPT marketplace and add a access Role MarketplaceItemOwner.
Now we add the old content as admins.
So we have the in the past generated content.
And we have also the old user accesses of the MarketplaceItem Owners from the old websites.
We try now to assing the single Items to there old owner, but in the author Element from WordPress are the users with these specific role not shown?
yes, i have 25 marketplace Items wich are converted from the old website and try to assign every item to the User who created it. All these Users have Role "MarketplaceItemOwner".
But in Author Pulldown from WordPress these users are not shown.
So this could be because this author section is disabled. If you go to Toolset -> Post Types and edit your CPT. Scroll to sections to display when editing ...
From here enable "authors".
Then you can go back to your custom post and edit it and under screen options you can make the field visible.
the Author Checkbox was activated and the chooser for author was there. But there are only User with roles author and admin show. The authors with the with access created specific role "MarketplaceItemOwner" was not shown in these pulldown menu?
