README

Ensures tag-like terms cannot be created without the user having the appropriate manage_terms capability.

Description

The Tag-Capability-Patch is a work around for a bug related to the Tag Widget used in the Edit Post screen in WordPress. Currently, the Tag Widget allows users to add new terms (specifically tags and tag-like taxonomies) in the Edit Post screen even if that user does not have the specific manage_terms capability assigned to that taxonomy. An example of how roles are mapped can be read in this plugin's wiki.
