This solution is purely cosmetic, in that it simply hides via jQuery the fields on the user profile page, but that effectively removes the ability for the user to change the password (admin will still see the fields, and can change any time). Add this to your theme’s functions.php file, and you’re done. add_action( ‘edit_user_profile’, … Read more
Hi @curtismchale: Try ‘river-class’ instead of ‘Class’, i.e.: register_taxonomy( ‘river-class’, array( ‘fvww-river-guide’ ), array( ‘hierarchical’ => true, //operates like a category ‘labels’ => $labels, ‘rewrite’ => true, ‘public’ => true, ‘show_ui’ => true, ) ); // ends class taxonomy Actually what caused you to stumble was your choice of a capitalized taxonomy name (i.e. “Class” … Read more
The check will be called too early if you just write it in your plugin file like this: if ( current_user_can( ‘add_movies’ ) ) { add_action( ‘admin_bar_menu’, ‘wpse17689_admin_bar_menu’ ); } function wpse17689_admin_bar_menu( &$wp_admin_bar ) { $wp_admin_bar->add_menu( /* … */ ); } Because it will execute when your plugins is loaded, which is very early in … Read more
There is a function WordPress uses called get_editable_roles, which is (I think) used to determine which roles a particular user can edit. The source for this function looks like this: function get_editable_roles() { global $wp_roles; $all_roles = $wp_roles->roles; $editable_roles = apply_filters(‘editable_roles’, $all_roles); return $editable_roles; } So, it looks like you may be able hook into … Read more
If I understood correctly the situation described in the question and its comments, the user has capabilities to upload files and to edit your post type, so you shouldn’t be fitering capabilities, the user already has the correct capabilities. The problem is that wp_editor() use the global $post by default, and in your context the … Read more
You have assigned custom capabilities to post type, but did you assigned these capabilities to user roles or users? This is not done automatically, and adding custom caps to post types doesn’t add those caps to the roles or users. You have two solutions: Register post type without the ‘capabilities’ options, and it will fall … Read more
No, to set a users role you have to have the admin role. Authors cannot change or set roles An important thing to keep in mind is that it isn’t an editor who logs in, it’s a user with the edit role. Roles don’t login, they’re just collections of privileges assigned to users. Is there … Read more
Off the top of my head, you should be able to do something like this: $role = get_role( ‘client’ ); if ( $role && $role->has_cap( ‘install_plugins’ ) ) { // Role not updated yet, so update it. $role->remove_cap( ‘install_plugins’ ); } get_role() returns a WP_Role object on success and WP_Role::remove_cap() calls WP_Roles::remove_cap(), which directly updates … Read more
This plugin provides filter to manage the menu item by meta value: function custom_menu_item_visibility( $visible, $item ){ if( isset( $item->roles ) ){ $user_id = get_current_user_id(); $user_meta = get_user_meta( $user_id, ‘your-meta-key’, true ); if ( /* your condition */ ){ $visible = true; } else { $visible = false; } } return $visible; } add_filter( ‘nav_menu_roles_item_visibility’, … Read more
I gave it a test run. First, I added a custom capability to a specific user, using following code $user = new WP_User( $user_id ); $user->add_cap( ‘team_member’ ); Luckily, this user can be retrieved using below code, as you suggested $args = array( ‘role’ => ‘team_member’ ); get_users( $args ); Which implicitly work like below … Read more
