No advanced options tab

    I’m trying to make it so that one specific user can edit one page in my site, but not edit any of the other pages. I found this solution online:
    “1. Give them a WordPress role of Subscriber
    2. Manage > Pages > Edit their page
    3. Expand the “Editors” tab under “Advanced Options”
    4. Check the non-braced checkbox to the left of your user’s name (if child pages will be created, also check the braced checkbox {[]}, which assigns the role for all current or future child pages)
    5. Save the Page”

    The problem is that there is no “advanced options” tab on any of my pages. I looked up this problem, and it seems pretty widespread, with none of the proposed solutions solving my issue. How can I get advanced options to show?
    Thank you!

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

    Hi!

    Could you let me know where you found that solution? I believe that might require a plugin (which aren’t available at WordPress.com).

    The best way to accomplish what you described would be to set the user role to Author. Authors can edit posts they’ve created, but no other posts on the site:

    Would that work?
