With you current_user_can call everything is just fine. The problem lies elsewhere… If you’ll take a look at Roles and Capabilities, you’ll see that there is no capability like edit_post. So your code is working correctly – admin can’t edit_post, because there is no such capability (unless it’s a custom capability registered by your code … Read more
Do not set header in a template file. Those are part of the HTTP request itself. About your problem: Add a template (whatever file you need – see “Template Hierarchy”). On top of it you include the default stuff like get_header(); and so on. For the restricted part, you use the following: if ( current_user_can( … Read more
Let’s take a look at Codex page for add_menu_page… Third param is: $capability (string) (Required) The capability required for this menu to be displayed to the user. And later on in Notes section: This function takes a ‘capability’ (see Roles and Capabilities) which will be used to determine whether or not a page is included … Read more
This is how I solved it: In functions.php // Custom Dashboard function my_custom_dashboard() { $screen = get_current_screen(); if( $screen->base == ‘dashboard’ ) { include ‘admin/dashboard-panel.php’; } } add_action(‘admin_notices’, ‘my_custom_dashboard’); dashboard-panel.php <!– Hide Old Wrap with CSS –> <style type=”text/css”> div#wpcontent div.wrap { display: none; } div#wpcontent div.my-dashboard { display: block; } </style> <!– New Wrap … Read more
I ran into the same problem. It’s easily solved by going into the Network Admin > Settings page. Look for the label “Add New Users” and make sure this option is checked: Allow site administrators to add new users to their site via the “Users → Add New” page. Once you do this, the local … Read more
The string below actually represents an array in serialized form. a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1″;} Here: a:1 means an array with a single element s:13 means string and the length of the string followed by Array { “administrator” => “1” } Once that is in the table, you can use the unserialize() function to return it to an array … Read more
You can do that simple by using plugin User Role Editor. It is very easy to use.
I finally figured it out: To start with, I was using the wrong hook. I should have been using user_has_cap hook instead, which is what actually has a chance of being called when using current_user_can(). But second, and most important of all, I was seeing the page while logged-in as super_admin, which didn’t trigger the … Read more
Referring to the Codex entry for this, I suggest using another hook. They use the ‘admin_init’ action: function add_theme_caps() { $role = get_role( ‘author’ ); // gets the author role $role->add_cap( ‘edit_others_posts’ ); // would allow the author to edit others’ posts for current theme only } add_action( ‘admin_init’, ‘add_theme_caps’);
Try the Members Plugin. This will allow you to create a new roles (which you can then assign to the groups) with their own cap or mixture thereof.
