How do you set up a WordPress blog with multiple authors to allow something like StackExchange’s “community wiki” feature?

can’t see custom post content filtered under “mine” filter in admin panel
I tried to reproduce what you did. My subscriber role has the following capabilities: delete_messages delete_private_messages delete_published_messages edit_message edit_messages edit_private_messages edit_published_message publish_messages read I marked one of the capabilities “edit_message”. I don’t see this in your picture. But it was absolutely necessary for me to even post messages. Why does it work for you without … Read more
Making a plugin only available on the front-end for the logged in super admin
function load_grid() { if ( current_user_can( ‘level_10’ ) ) { wp_enqueue_style(‘grid_css’, plugins_url(‘/lib/css/grid.css’, __FILE__) ); wp_enqueue_script(‘grid_js’, plugins_url(‘/lib/js/grid.js’, __FILE__), array(‘jquery’) ); } } add_action(‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘load_grid’);
User: Editor, can’t see edit taxonomy screen
Right after I wrote the posts I found it…anyway if someone else is looking for the answer to this, you need to set capabilities when you register your taxonomy.

Changing themes would allow the users with your specific role to publish again. Therefore, just put the code in simple plugin. <?php /** * Plugin Name: My specific roles and … Read more
Roles for Custom Post Types
I’m sure you could specify some capabilities while registering the Post Type itself. Although, here is a more robust version that can be used widely across the administration dashboard. /** * Hide dashboard administrator menus from disallowed user roles. * * @author Michael Ecklund * @author_url https://www.michaelbrentecklund.com/ * * @return void */ function mbe_hide_menus() { … Read more
Adding Custom Capabilites
I just happened to provide a short example of setting up a custom role capability (exaplanation and code). In your case, however, you want to add the capability to particular users – not roles. The following code may be a starting point for what you want to do: >>> Setting it up // The IDs … Read more

As far as I know, you can not (easily) set up a custom capability for a certain post/page ID. What is described in the Codex, are the so-called meta capabilities (a set of predefined capabilities with additional arguments/information). A (not-that-easy) way is to write your own my_add_cap, my_current_user_can, my_has_cap etc. functions. Regarding your follow-up question… … Read more
