[Resolved] Give page editing (for all languages) authorization to a Custom user

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
How to enable certain users to be able to translate particular posts or pages.

Solution:
This is a feature of WPML.

If you go to WPML > Translation Management > Multilingual Content Setup, the first option is to either create translations manually (using the standard WP post editor) or to use the WPML translation editor.

If you have chosen the latter, then you MUST create translators and specify the languages they can translate etc.

If you have chosen to edit manually, Access needs to manage pages, and the role in question needs to be able to publish and edit own pages.

Hi,

I have a custom role on my site, called "teneral". This role is assinged to a user called "wop". I want this user to edit the current pages on the site.

My site also has WPML installed on it. But the user wop is not able to change the pages.

Could you please help me with the situation?

Thank you,

This depends on your WPML settings.

If you go to WPML > Translation Management > Multilingual Content Setup, the first option is to either create translations manually (using the standard WP post editor) or to use the WPML translation editor.

If you have chosen the latter, then you MUST create translators and specify the languages they can translate etc.
