re: a final email indicating the entry is approved/published is not sent. Is this correct?
Right, there actually is not an email sent when an entry has been approved. This feature is on the to do list. … We are talking about Form, right? I ask because this is posted in the Link forum. Only Form will send emails, Link does not.
re: Afterwards, any subsequent “edit my directory” results in a dialog message that indicates the user is “not authorized to edit”, however, the edit actually DOES get posted to the management queue and will be published upon approval.
CAn you post a screenshot of the “Edit My Directory” link … so I can orient myself. Also please post a screenshot of the error message. I need the exact message so I can track down where exactly it is being triggered.
re: New Users are registered as Subscribers and only the Moderated Add, Moderated Edit and appropriate View flags are set.
Go to the Connections : Roles admin page, rest All roles and capabilities and reapply them. There are plugins that mismanage them and break them for other plugins. S2Member is one such plugin. resetting usually always fixes it. May it will for you too.
