I am trying to:
I have a custom role called "FR Editor". I have created a WPML Group for the French pages, and FR Editor role has all permissions selected.

I expected to see:
Users with FR Editor role should be able to preview any FR pages.

Instead, I got:
Users with FR Editor cannot preview drafts or pending FR pages. They can't see private FR pages either.
They can edit, publish, delete or view FR pages, but trying to preview them leads to a 404 / not found error.
They used to be able to preview pages or view private pages, I think this stopped working with the latest major upgrade (2.7).

NOTE: I have event tried the following (as a temporary workaround):
-> I have tried going to the Custom roles tab and adding the following global permissions to the role: edit_pages, publish_pages, read_private_pages
-> I have tried going to the Post types tab and adding the "Preview any" permission to the role under the Pages post type.
But none of this is working.

Thanks,

Hello, you can now find Access 2.8 available for immediate dowload at https://toolset.com/account/downloads, or for automatic update in wp-admin. Please update to the latest versions of all Toolset and WPML products and let me know if the problem has not yet been resolved.
