WordPress Guest Post Admin Access?
-
Is there a plugin or function in WordPress for a guest poster to just get admin access to control comments?
Example:
Big Brand X writes a guest post on www.yoursite.com.
Big Brand X wants admin access to approve or delete comments on their guest on www.yoursite.com.
Big Brand X doesn't want access to edit their guest post or any other post on www.yoursite.com, they just want admin access to manage the comments on their guest post.
Is this possible? Thanks for the help!

Awesome! Exactly the answer I was looking for. Many thanks, Ben, greatly appreciate the help with this.

Yes, "Authors" have authority over editing their own content, publishing the post and moderating their own comments.
The Codex is looking at the "universal" control features. Of which "authors" are very limited.

Thanks, Ben for checking into this. Just so I understand correctly, are you saying that a guest poster who is assigned the role of "Author" can actually moderate comments on their post?
I didn't see that info in the codex. I know that the role of "Editor" does but it looks like an Editor can a lot of other things as well.

Hey David,
I saw the same information in the codex and it is a bit misleading. An "Author" has moderation control on their own posts but doesn't have "comment moderation" power over the whole site. Only admins do.
I just tested this out again. Make sure you go into the top "help" menu on the edit post page and check "comments" and "discussion".

Thank you, Ben and Sanket for taking the time to respond. I looked at the different roles WordPress lets you assign. Unfortunately, the "lowest" role that lets a user moderate comments also lets a user edit other pages and posts, which is rather risky for the person whose letting Big Brand X guest post on their site.
Thanks again for the help, appreciate it.

Hi David,
It is possible for you as guest post to moderate comments of your guest post on www.yoursite.com. Wordpress administrator gives you a right to moderate our own post, for more information please read this link it will help you more to get a solution of your question.

An "author" can moderate any comments in the admin area of the posts they have written. Set their role to "Author" and you should be all set.

Duplicate Content From Huffington Post Blog
A client who writes blog posts for Huffington Post also wants an identical version of the blog posted to his personal site. Do you think there could be a problem of being punished for duplicate content? Would a better SEO practice be to have the client do an on-site blog just linking to the Huffington Post blog and providing information about it?

We are looking for people to be a guest blogger on items such as gadgets, business, finance, marketing and so on, but i am not sure what is the best way to attract people. Any advice on the best way to attract guest bloggers would be great and advice if we should give them more than one link. Would love to hear from people who have been a guest blogger to find out what they would want. It has been suggested to me that a guest blogger gets one link and if they require two then they must link bac. looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Evergreen content: Dedicated section or blog posts?
As part of our content strategy we are creating an ongoing series of articles to help both our potential buyers and our users learn about our product and improve their knowledge of industry best practices in general. Internally, we've had some debate as to where we should host this content within our site. We've identified two approaches: Series of blog posts Dedicated knowledge section of the website If we go with the first approach, we would created a dedicated section that indexed all the blog posts. If we went with the second, we'd create blog posts for each of the articles announcing their addition. Is there any difference, SEO wise with the two approaches? What would you recommend? Thanks, Darren.

H1 tag in Blank in Wordpress website
Good evening, I have noticed using some h1 checkers, that my primary h1 tag is blank. I manually introduced an h1 with my main keywords, but system recognises as 2 different h1 tags, and therefore it could be harmful for my SEO purposes. I created my wordpress website using Artisteer. Is there any specific way (or plugin) to change this primary h1 tag so it wont appear as blank? My site is www.outletspain.net Thanks in advance Maria Jesus

Blog Posts Not Getting Indexed by SERP's
Our blog posts are typically indexed rather quickly, sometimes within 10 minutes or so. Lately it seems like it is taking much longer, and a post from yesterday afternoon isn't appearing in any of the search engines. Can anyone give me an idea why this may be happening? http://www.360dwellings.com/2011-denver-parade-of-homes-luxury-home-tour/

Where in my wordpress admin panel do I add the .
Having read Rand's post about the canonical tag I very much wish to use it to advise Google that the duplicates created during archiving (due to the fact that the posts have multiple categories) are just copies. I understand the theory, but can't transfer it into practice! Could someone give me an idiots guide as to how to add the tag and to where. My site produces approx 10 - 20 blog posts per week. Each has at least 2-4 categories applied to it. They are archived each month, at which point I have a big jump in duplicates in my campaign panel. Help! C:\Users\Catherine\Desktop\me_small.gif
