I can't make a member on my site become a writer I clicked on the Change Permissions button but is said:
Select a new role for blackstar3333333: Administrator, Moderator, Registered User and Banned.
How are you supposed to make him a writer?

Do you find this valuable?

Your site is set so that registered users are writers. It says they are RUs but they have the same permissions as writers. Do you find this valuable?

If you want to change to writer positions, you need to be an administrator or up. Go to Settings, Permissions, and change the Editing permissions to "Only People I invite" Then, hit change settings and hit ok. Then, you will be able to make writers on your sites, if you want. If you want to keep the settings you have, just remember that anyone who registers on your site can edit pages. Do you find this valuable?

Unless they are locked. Then the RUs can't edit them, like here on WPC. Do you find this valuable?

Unless your site is set to writer permissions, you can't promote writers. Do you find this valuable?
