how to edit user-only / not-for-admin frontend content ?

how to enable microthemer for a non-admin user role ?

I have pages / sections that are only accessible only to user-roles, and not accessible to admin-role.
is there a way to enable microthemer for a specific user / another custom user role (“custom-admin-role”), that is NOT and admin, so that microthemer can view user-only content and edit as a custom-admin

Hey Joe,

There is an option for viewing pages in Microthemer as a logged out non-role user.

Go to:

Settings > Page > Logged out view (enable)

However, unfortunately there isn’t a way to set a specific user role.

So the best workaround I can offer is to copy the HTML content using your browser dev tools into another page – or better yet the same page but a part that admins can see. Then style it and publish the changes.

In a separate browser logged in as a specific user, you would then refresh the page after publishing your Microthemer edits to check the styles work. If the first few styles work fine, you should be OK to just refresh the other browser when you are finished designing.

It’s not an ideal workflow, but could it be an option at least?

Cheers,
Sebastian

hi thank you 🙂
– I tried the workaround: didn’t work for this case.
, it produced a broken page but nothing i could work with. the new page got the css from the site settings, whereas the page a i need to fix has plugin settings that need editing. in other words, the plugin Light theme section i wanted to turn dark theme, actually got a dark theme and a broken layout when copied using the workaround

options:
#1
it could work if Microthemer could view pages a logged-in user, not an admin, not a guest

#2
getting the elements and creating manually custom css outside of microthemer and copy it into microthemer

Thanks for providing temporary access via our instant chat conversation.

The HTML looked broken because the CSS to style it was not loading for admins. I solved this using Amender to add both the form HTML and the stylesheet. Once you’ve styled it, you can disable the folder I added to make these temporary changes to restore the standard notice to admins / dynamic ticket system for non-admin roles.

Cheers,
Sebastian
