Editors can’t edit but administrators can

In the end the new server lock down was a red herring.

There is a plugin, somewhere, which is requiring that editors have the role ‘manage_options’ enabled..

I installed a roles plugin (User Role Editor) and just granted them that extra access and it works now.

I’ll need to go through the plugins to find the problem child when I have the time.
