Dear Sir/Madam,

I create a custom post and custom role, there are 3 authors that belong to the same custom role, I log in as the administrator when I edit one of the custom posts, I can't change the author to another 2 authors, only the owner and administrator can be selected. What did I miss in the setting of access control?

Best regards,

Kelvin

The post author dropdown requires a bit of extra custom code. We have a couple of tickets here in the forum that discuss the code requirements:
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/author-dropdown-and-custom-roles/
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/custom-role-users-to-display-in-authors-dropdown/

Let me know if you have questions about that.
