After hours of fighting to get this to work, it was just a matter of changing delete_posts to delete_post. So, in it’s entirety this would be: current_user_can(‘delete_posts’, $post_id); to current_user_can(‘delete_post’, $post_id); current_user_can does accept a second parameter.

map_meta_cap is the correct filter to use. When WordPress checks whether you have permission to edit a post it checks edit_post.
