This may be obvious to someone other than myself. I think I remember reading somewhere that an “image” is indeed a form of “post”.
- I have a custom post type called “listing”
- I have a custom WP role of “client”
When I’m logged in as the “client”, and I launch the media popup, browse to an image, click “show” to open it up, and then click “edit image”, I get a -1. Ie. nothing else displays but “-1”.
I can fix this issue by assigning my custom role the capability of “edit_posts”. Why is this? As soon as I do this, I’m plagued with another problem, the “client” user role now has access to posts, comments & tools, which I don’t want.
Perhaps I haven’t set up my custom post type correctly with the capabilities? How can I allow the “client” to edit the images but not have access to posts?
