Classic editor issue with User role functionalities #208

Closed niralibiniwale closed 5 months ago

niralibiniwale commented 12 months ago

I've implemented the Classic Editor plugin on my website and aim to achieve the following functionality:

Upon a user creating a post, it should enter a pending review status. Once approved by the admin, that user should be able to edit the post, but any edits should again trigger a pending review status.

I've assigned the default Contributor user role for new posts, and it's functioning correctly. However, when I added the edit_published_posts capability to the Contributor role, editing became possible, but the post was directly updated without undergoing the desired pending review process. For a detailed demonstration of the behavior in both the Classic Editor and Gutenberg, please refer to the video linked below:

Seems the functionality you need is outside of the scope for this plugin. A (granular) user roles plugin may be more helpful to achieve it.
