The problem is a plugin (a very popular one) and I have contacted the author for help. I turned them all off then activated each one, one by one. It was the very last plugin. When it’s activated it automatically reset the editing privileges in the User Role Editor upon login. Thanks for the guidance on this.
In the User Role Editor I have unchecked the edit boxes three times and they keep reappearing after I login a user. The problem still persists. the user is still able to edit pages and posts. I am working on the site in Opera and signing in the user on Chrome. I delete the cache frequently.
In answer to your first question i must have granted edit privileges but don’t know how I would have done that. But the plugin won’t let me change it either. How do I remove those privileges?
Thank you for the plugin! It showed me that you are correct. Somehow a subscriber is able to edit almost everything. Where is that setting? I have looked high and low for it. I know the plugin can take care of it but I would be interested in knowing how to prevent it from happening again.
I’m sorry – should have mentioned I tried with twenty-nineteen. I would not know how to give edit privileges to subscribers unless it was accidentally. Thanks for the link to the plugin. I will try that now. Thank you!
