I am reposting again.
Tell us what you are trying to do?
I am building a paid directory portion of my site where a business would pay to showcase their business ad on a monthly subscription basis using Toolset Post Forms and WooCommerce Subscriptions. The business owner completes a Toolset Post Form that captures the relevant business contact information and featured images I want to have displayed in their ad and purchases the corresponding subscription product. The Post Form sets the post status to 'Pending Review' after the initial payment is complete so I can check their content and assign which page to display it on before publishing.
In testing this, I was able to complete a purchase with the WooSubscriptions and the post was created and set to Pending Review. However, when I tried to walk through the steps of reviewing the post and then publishing it, the CRED Post Form got attributed to me (the admin) rather than the original post 'author' (the advertiser). I do have the setting of 'After payment completes, make the client the author of the post' on the form, but I can't find where to make the business owner the author of the post after I review it.
A few notes:
-- The Custom Post Type is called 'Premium Advertiser', it is managed by Access with Premium Advertisers able to Publish, Delete own, Edit own, Read
-- I created a custom role of 'Premium Advertiser' and it appears the only permission they have is 'level_0' under the 'Other capabilities' permissions.
-- Maybe I have this messed up and need to allow them more permissions, but I do not want to allow them to access any portion of the dashboard area and see others posts, access to media, etc.
This is preventing me from showing the business owner a list of their own posts on the My Account page because they are no longer the author. Can you assist?
Is there any documentation that you are following?
