Hi there,

Sorry I forgot to update that I resolved this issue..

For those who experience this specific issue, all I needed to do was get an addon to edit the author permissions and change the permissions to include all of the following:

edit_others_pages
edit_others_posts
edit_pages
edit_posts
edit_published_pages
edit_published_posts
publish_pages
publish_posts
read
unfiltered_html
unfiltered_upload
upload_files

Not all are enabled by default on the Author account which can cause some conflicts.
