WordPress: Benutzerdefinierte Benutzer werden nicht im Autorenfeld angezeigt

Ich habe eine hinzugefügt benutzerdefinierter Benutzertyp in WordPress, die benutzerdefinierter Beitragstyp unterstützt Autoren (siehe unten). Der benutzerdefinierte Benutzertyp hat alle Rechte eines Autors mit Ausnahme von „Posts veröffentlichen“, ist es aber nicht auf der Liste möglicher Autoren, die dem Beitrag zugeordnet werden können.

Was mache ich falsch?

Code:

if (!get_role('member')) {
        add_role('member', 'SFUK Member', array(
            'delete_posts' => true,
            'edit_posts' => true,
            'read' => true,
            'upload_files' => true,
            'edit_published_posts' => true,
            'delete_published_posts' => true
        ));
}

und hier ist der benutzerdefinierte Beitragstyp:

$args = array(
    'labels' => $labels,
    'public' => true,
    'publicly_queryable' => true,
    'show_ui' => true,
    'query_var' => true,
    'rewrite' => true,
    'capability_type' => 'post',
    'hierarchical' => true,
    'menu_position' => 0,
    'supports' => array('title', 'editor', 'thumbnail', 'page-attributes', 'author')
);

if (!post_type_exists('ent')) {
    register_post_type('ent', $args);
    remove_post_type_support('ent', 'editor');

}

Lassen Sie mich wissen, wenn weitere Informationen benötigt werden.

The authors dropdown is created the following call:

wp_dropdown_users( array(
    'who' => 'authors',
    'name' => 'post_author_override',
    'selected' => empty($post->ID) ? $user_ID : $post->post_author,
    'include_selected' => true
) );

The who argument means that only users with at least ‘author’ role will be listed, and the Codex page says that currently it’s either ‘authors’ or empty (meaning all users).
There is a filter for this function but it takes the HTML as input. You could create a new query for users and then output a new HTML dropdown. This is the first way to solve your problem.

However, this function with ‘who’ set to ‘authors’ searches for users whose level is not 0 which is quite strange since user levels have been deprecated long ago. I’ve found a related bug report on Trac recommending that you add a ‘level_1’ capability to your new role to fix this. This is not a clean solution but much easier than creating a filter and all HTML from scratch.

EDIT: A third and even more simple solution just came to my mind: I’ve created custom roles with plugins but never noticed this problem because I was always copying capabilities from existing roles and then modifying them. This way you won’t forget any capabilities and it will also fix this bug.
