WordPress multisite networks don't always follow the same rules as regular WordPress sites. User roles and capabilities are very different on multisite networks.
One significant difference is the behavior of the unfiltered_html capability. This is a security feature in WordPress that prevents users from using tags such as <iframe> and <embed>, plus also more advanced code such as Javascript.
The Gutenberg editor provokes a lot of debate in the WordPress world. Some people love Gutenberg – we're in that camp and built the PublishPress Blocks plugin. Some people really don't like Gutenberg and prefer to stick with the editor they've used for years.
However, most WordPress users have more mixed feelings and prefer to switch back-and-forth depending on the project. We've had several questions from PublishPress customers who want to know how to disable Gutenberg in some situations, or for some users.
In this guide, we share several different ways you can disable Gutenberg. Each option has its own methods for switching between Gutenberg and the older, classic editor.
WPML is the acronym for “WordPress Multilingual Plugin”.
WPML is a WordPress plugin that enables you to turn any WordPress website into a multilingual website.
The PublishPress Capabilities plugin has support for WPML. This means that you can create user roles that are allowed to access specific areas of the WPML plugin.
One of the most common requests we've had from users of the PublishPress Authors plugin is the ability to show all your authors on one page.
This is now possible with big improvements to the [authors_list] shortcode. This update arrives in PublishPress Authors version 3.20.
The [authors_list] shortcode now comes with a variety of different views. In this guide, I'll introduce you to the new views and give you the resources to use them on your site.
The PublishPress Blocks plugin is growing in a new direction.
The latest release of PublishPress Blocks (version 2.14) introduces a feature called “Block Controls”. This will give you the ability to control who sees your blocks and when they display.
This first “Block Controls” setting allows you to schedule blocks to publish and unpublish. Every block can have a “Start showing” and “Stop showing” option.
PublishPress Authors 3.19 is available today. This release has a powerful new Author Pages feature, so you can showcase the work of each individual author.
In this guide, I'll explain why we built this feature, and then I'll explore how you can use it.
The Gutenberg block editor makes it easy to add and edit content in WordPress.
However, sometimes you want to do just the opposite! Sometimes your content should not be updated.
It is now possible to lock blocks so that they can not be edited. This feature was introduced in WordPress 6.0.
PublishPress Capabilities is now at version 2.4.2, and this latest release brings several useful new features.
Our goal with PublishPress Capabilities is to provide a complete user management tool for WordPress. In this release, we're moving towards that goal with several new features, including these:
In this guide, I'll introduce you to all those new improvements in PublishPress Capabilities.
A PublishPress user wrote to us with question:
I have just installed your PublishPress Capabilities plugin, which is working almost perfectly. The problem that I'm having is that my user can upload images but can not edit the Alternative Text, Title, Description and Caption of the image, which I need the user to be able to do. How can I fix this problem?
This is not the first time we have had this question, so I'll explain the problem and solution.
Here's an interesting question from a PublishPress user:
“I want to allow the Author role to edit published posts (theirs or others) and make those changes live without approval. But I don't want those users to create new posts themselves.“
Yes, this is possible using the PublishPress Capabilities plugin.
