Precise Permissions

Absolutely love being able to fine tune various things from allowing authors to revise other author’s posts (with their approval), members can assign other members to edit their posts, automatic user-as-post when people sign up, precise category permissions, and scenario based permissions. For example I could create a WP-tag that is assigned to a WP-post that is a region/organization/idea; then modify permissions of all posts assigned to that tag. This allows for regional moderators, hiding some tagged content, allowing revisions on not just category based but other specific criteria. Other perks include giving specific members special permissions, revoking for bad behavior, and not giving moderators too much power.

In 2018 I left Joomla swapping to WordPress which I missed it’s access control levels. PublishPress not only brought it back, it adds hundreds of variations to choose from. Members having auto generated posts allows for adding custom fields, members search integrated within content search, potential for mapping, likes, ect. When running into technical issues the staff are extremely supportive, quick to respond, and are welcoming. One of the better treasure finds this year.
