This filter allows you to set subscribers as authors of blog posts within the admin without giving them additional privileges. Here’s the code:
add_filter( 'wp_dropdown_users_args', 'add_subscribers_to_dropdown', 10, 2 ); function add_subscribers_to_dropdown( $query_args, $r ) { $query_args['who'] = ''; return $query_args; }In addition to Jonathan’s contribution, you can also expand it further by specifying the role. This is undocumented on wp codex. But does work e.g.
function wpdocs_add_subscribers_to_dropdown( $query_args, $r ) { $query_args['role'] = array('contributor'); // Unset the 'who' as this defaults to the 'author' role unset( $query_args['who'] ); return $query_args; } add_filter( 'wp_dropdown_users_args', 'wpdocs_add_subscribers_to_dropdown', 10, 2 );
