    I’ve set-up an ‘Editor’ member group on my EE 1.6.8 based site for a client to be able to add/edit their own content. It basically limits them to creating/editing entries, no template/admin access. For some reason, the status menu for a particular channel is only showing as ‘closed’—there is no “open” option available. I have gone through the various settings for this channel (set to open by default) plus the ones in the status admin page - all seem to be fine. Is there a setting somewhere I have missed?

    Have you set a default status group for the weblog in question?

    Admin->Weblog Administration->Weblog Management->Edit Groups->Status Group

    Ensure that has your status group selected and doesn’t say None.

    That should then hopefully do it for you.

    Best wishes,

    Yes. That’s the culprit. Thanks Mark for jumping-in, and Ingmar as always. Fixed.
