"Author" can't contribute, "administrator" can

[inbeijing]

Since I upgraded to the latest Swift version, the "authors" on my blog can't contribute. When they click button for "new post", a blank page appears - i.e. white and blank, not even an error message.

I logged in with their user name I tried myself. Then I tried to delete their profile and add it again, but same problem still remains.

I try to switch their role from "author" to "editor", but same problem still. Not until I changed their role to "administrator", could they open and write a new post.

So I "solved" the problem by having people I don't know as "administrators", so that they can contribute. I would very much like to change their role to "author" again as soon as possible.

Never had this problem with earlier versions of Swift.

Best,
Joe

Did you try it with the default WordPress theme?

No. I didn't dare to change back. Because last time I deactivated Swift, my color settings were gone.

Anyway, my second contributor had the same problem as well. So I really do think it is related to Swift rather than Wordpress..

Swift doesn't interfere with user roles.
It must be some plugin you are using.
