I am trying to: set up a front-end submission/publishing of a custom post type by a specific WordPress role.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link

I expected to see: [cred_form form="add-new-custompost-form"] turned into a new custom post type submission form on the page where the shortcode is embedded, when accessed as a specific WordPress role. I can see the submission when logged in as an administrator, but not as the specific WordPress role.

Instead, I got: a blank page.

I made sure:

- the correct WordPress role has the permission to "Publish" in "Access" control. See the red boxes in the attached screenshot.
- cleaned server cache and browser cache.

What else and where else should I check?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - did you set correct permissions for CRED form?

The default permission for CRED form when access is active is here:

You should set permissions for your CRED form from:
=> Toolset -> Access Control
=> click on CRED Forms tab
=> set the permission for your form within "CRED Frontend Access" Group:
=> Save the settings
