Ok, here’s a quick solution. Just completely replace plugins/social-articles/includes/templates/members/single/articles/new.php with the code below.
If you’d like to change the message displayed to the member it’s on line 162
To grant access just switch a users role to contributor.
I’m thinking I’ll come back later and make it to where if a non-author clicks their blog icon it redirects to a page explaining how to become an author .. but for now this works.
