How to Give Users Access to Edit Content

To give users access to edit content in WordPress and Elementor, follow these steps:

1. Assign the Correct User Role in WordPress

WordPress has different user roles with specific permissions. To allow content editing, assign the appropriate role:

  • Editor – Can edit, publish, and delete any post or page.
  • Author – Can edit, publish, and delete their own posts.
  • Contributor – Can write and edit their posts but cannot publish.

How to change user roles:

  • Go to WordPress DashboardUsersAll Users.
  • Click on the user you want to edit.
  • Change their role under Role and save.

2. Grant Access to Edit with Elementor

By default, only Administrators and Editors can edit pages with Elementor. To allow other roles:

  • Go to Elementor Settings
    • Navigate to WordPress DashboardElementorRole Manager.
  • Enable Elementor for Specific Roles
    • Check the roles you want to give access to edit with Elementor (e.g., Contributor, Author).
    • Save changes.

With these steps, you can easily manage user access for editing content in WordPress and Elementor!
