Hello there,

Honest question. Do you know exactly what your writers can access in your WordPress dashboard right now?

Most site owners don’t, and that’s the problem.

You hire a writer, create their account, pick a role that sounds reasonable, and move on. But WordPress gives some roles more power than most people expect.

An Editor can publish anything. An old guest author account with a weak password just sits there. Give access without a plan, and small mistakes turn into real risk.

In fact, 74% of WordPress breaches involve privilege misuse. Your writers aren’t the threat. The access they’ve been given without structure is.

I just wrote a guide that shows how to lock this down without slowing your team down.

It covers:

  • Which WordPress roles are actually safe to assign

  • How to add guest authors without creating zombie login accounts

  • How to build real author profile pages that improve credibility

  • How to track which writers bring in traffic and which ones don’t
