[wp-hackers] Custom Post Type + Capabilities & Roles

[Joaquin Rodriguez Montero]

Jake,

Based on your code I added:
'capabilities' => array( 'edit_post' => 'guest_question','edit_posts' =>
'guest_questions'),
And that allowed me to submit it for review.

I couldn't succeed to show the new post type on any other user than the
guest blogger.. does this bit helps what are you trying to achieve?

Exactly what happens to me. I'm fairly convinced at this point it's just
an obscure bug. Even if it there's a way around this (Andrew?) it seems
like this is a reasonable use case that just doesn't work as one should
expect. You shouldn't be able to get to the "Add New" screen only to be
presented with, effectively, a "you can't add this" error.

Will submit to trac later today.
