Author inline edit not working anymore
Hi there,
Recently, the author inline edit field stopped working. You can trigger the editing pop up but after a quick search it doesn’t show any authors available for selection (only the already active author is displayed).
Any ideas?
Cheers,

Hi Thomas,
Can you give me the exact column type that you’re using?
We’ve changed something in the ACF related user column since ACF has removed some methods to get users by ajax.
Hi,
I’m talking about the author column type for posts/post types which displays the author of a post/post type. I’m not sure regarding the exact column type name, when you select it in the Admin Columns Pro settings it has no options except the editing and sorting enable/disable radio buttons..
Cheers,
Thomas
Hi Thomas,
Can you give me access to your (test/dev) environment so I can have a look?
This is not a know bug and I cannot reproduce this issue so I like to have a look at your environment what is causing the problem. Please send me the info at support@admincolumns.com or try to reach me at the live chat on our website.
Hi,
It seems removing the column and adding it again solved this issue.
Thanks.
Cheers,
Thomas
Strange but great that is solved your problem.
I will close this ticket for now.
Hi, I have the same problem. Both “Default” and “Custom” Author don’t allow me to inline edit them even when in setting the Inline edit is ON. WordPress 6 and AC 5.7.3.
By “Default” and “Custom”, you mean roles? If so, could you check if these roles have the capabilities to edit posts. They are called “edit_post” and “edit_posts”.
Default and Custom are columns groups.
I see. Ok, you are talking about both “Author” columns in the two different groups. I have send you an email to help you with the issue.
