We also recently tested the following scenario in addition to the 6 others above:
Scenario 7 (Updating failed notice displayed and no changes made successfully)
URE manage options deselected for the Author role
All other URE capabilities enabled for the Author role
Posts Edit = Prohibit with post ID 15832, 15790, 11652
GeneratePress parent theme active with child inactive
Editing first instance in series title and update all events in series.
**********************************************
So as far as we can tell, there isn’t another capability preventing the Author role from avoiding the update failure notice and making actual changes to the event series instances. It seems to be tied to the URE Manage Options capability and the Edit Posts settings. The only way we can get rid of the failed update notice is by disabling the URE plugin.
Thanks for any help you can send our way. Just let us know if there’s anything we can do to help further test.
