  I have a couple writers and neither of them can post pictures because they’re contributors. Is there a way I can change that?? Thanks!!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Aside from making them authors, you can not change that. Please review this support document:

  Author

  An author can edit, publish and delete their posts, as well as upload files/images.

  ↑ Table of Contents ↑
  Contributor

  A contributor can edit their posts but cannot publish them. When a contributor creates a post, it will need to be submitted to an administrator for review. Once a contributor’s post is approved by an administrator and published, however, it may no longer be edited by the contributor.

  A contributor does not have the ability to upload files/images.

  Also, please realize that every time you use ALL CAPS you make the baby Jesus cry.

  So I’m guessing that there’s probably no way of me making them authors while still requiring that they send it to be reviewed first?

  That’s correct.

  Not really, unless you ask them to Save As Draft. If they remember to do that you can review it and then Publish it.

  Speaking as someone who was in that position, they’ll forget at least once a month. If you can live with that, then okay.
