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.

Hello MOZ I really need some help here and would love your advice! I have access to a fantastic PBN through my sister's work colleague who is an experienced marketing director. The PBN is relative to my industry and are all DA 50+ My sister is a copywriter and is putting content together around 500-600 words long.

Advice on how to handle Guest Blogging between multiple brands
How to you manage your guest blogging efforts between companies. I blog for 4 different companies, and just started….I am confused if I should blog as myself, or should each company have an "author" set up, and then guest blog under each author? I want their website to get better rankings, and the brand to get more engagement. I am not concerned about myself and my authorship rating….but should I be? Would that be more beneficial to have all blogs tied to me, to help with engagement. Or am I shooting myself in the foot by not increasing my authorship. What's more important? Authorship or blogging about the relevant content from the author that makes the most sense? Just looking for tips from anyone that has to blog under different brands. How do you do it?!?! (also, looking into myguestblog plugin)

Same keywords different posts
Ive read through past articles and this has come to mind, when wiritng instructions in parts, so for example Scuba Diving part 1 - Equipment Checks Scuba Diving Part 2 - Choosing a buddy Scuba Diving part 3 - Check and double check With the keyword through the article being scuba diving. Looking at previous posts if they are on multiple pages with teh keyword Scuba diving then link juice would be shared but as an article then pages make more sense for reading. Is it best for SEO to have it all on one page or is it best to have for part one as scuba diving , part 2 as diving, part 3 as diving equipment, Although other pages are taken up with those keywords. So i suppose what im asking is will the same keyword over multiple pages devalue the work on the first post.
