After a couple of new users register as AUTHORS, after that ADMIN can't write as himself

[lelion]

OK,

here it is in two words:

I install a fresh copy of WP 2.2. I let user register themselves for the blog. I make default users to be AUTHORS when they register.

After one or two users register, ADMIN (me) can't write a post or a page as HIMSELF, only as one of the newly registered users...

Workaround? Yes. After the first 1-2 users register and the bug happens, go to OPTIONS and change the role of ADMIN to be ADMINISTRATOR. He *is* already an administrator, but only *after* updating his profile as ADMIN you can start writing pages/posts as yourself...

Happened to me more than once, so it should be a bug...

Do you need PHP/MySQL versions?

MichaelH advised me to file a trac ticket, so here I am, duly reporting this bug:)

Thx:)

I tried to replicate this using the trunk version of WordPress. Here's what I've done.

1. Completed install and allowed new users to register as authors. Logged out.

2. Registered user 1

3. Registered user 2

4. Logged in as admin and created a new post. This appeared as written by me.

I've been unable to replicate what you've seen. Can you provide any further information that might help?

[lelion]

OK, I may give you versions of PHP, MySQL, etc. (will try as soon as possible - it's on another server).

I've seen the bug at least twice (or more even) - when I replicate these steps, it appears on THIS server always. Then I can fix it with the workaround...

Thx, I'll be back with more details:)

[lelion]

OK, here it is:

MySQL 4.1.22, PHP 4.4.6

Blog is installed in subdomain (blog.ourdomain.net)

Does this help?...

I might try to replicate it again, if needed, and just ask what other details you might need to see the problem better? :-)

I can't think what it might be. Could you contact me at james@… - there's some things I'd like to try but don't want to fill up the ticket with minutiae.

Thanks,

James

OK, I'll contact you:)

Both myself and the reporter have been unable to replicate this problem with trunk code in two different server environments. I can only presume that this is an issue that's already been resolved.
