@PieterGoosen is cool, and still awake like me and answering like boss. To simplify his code and make it work to this specifically without a bunch of junk on your page: /** * Pieter Goosen writes awesome code */ add_filter( ‘register_post_type_args’, ‘change_capabilities_of_the_custom_css_js_posttype’ , 10, 2 ); function change_capabilities_of_the_custom_css_js_posttype( $args, $post_type ){ // Do not filter … Read more
you can assign capabilities directly to user using the class WP_user::add_cap() //to remove capability from user $user = new WP_User( $user_id ); $user->remove_cap( ‘can_email’); //to add capability to user $user = new WP_User( $user_id ); $user->add_cap( ‘can_email’); Source – https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/60433/17968
Maybe this isn’t the best method because it does give an editor access to Settings and Options, but what this does is gives the a specific editor (based on user ID) the permissions to edit options. We then test if we’re loading one of the options template, if we are AND the user id is … Read more
You want the admin_menu hook, rather than admin_init. Also, you shouldn’t use anonymous functions. Instead, use: function wpse51004_add_menu_page() { add_menu_page(‘Some Page’, ‘Some Page’, ‘manage_options’, ‘some-slug’, ‘wpse51004_some_page_callback’); }; add_action(‘admin_menu’, ‘wpse51004_add_menu_page’); function wpse51004_some_page_callback() { echo ‘Hello, world!’; }
I can suggest another method. First of all: grant full access to projects post type (Example). At the user profile add allowed posts’ id. Then use below filter to restrict access if post id isn’t allowed. function allow_user_to_edit_cpt_filter( $capauser, $capask, $param){ global $wpdb; $allowed_posts_id_for_current_user = array( ’29’, ’30’ ); // you need to get these … Read more
There’s a reason why add_role() has the $capabilities as 3rd parameter. First some insights on what happens, when you use the function. It calls WP_Roles->add_role() – the class method The method then does a check if the role already exists. If yes, it aborts. The next step is, that it adds the role to WP_Roles->roles[] … Read more
There is no one answer, because both have pros and cons depending on what you want to store and why. A (probably non-exhaustive) list of differences to consider for a choice: Capabilities are designed to check if a user can do something or not. user_can and current_user_can are there to help you to check user … Read more
Hi @NetConstructor: I think this is what you need. Note that I didn’t include the full setup of your ‘website_owner’ role, just the addition of a new capability called ‘manage_administrators’. Also, I only attempted to remove the “Delete” link from any users that don’t have the ‘manage_administrators’ capability (which you’ll need to add to the … Read more
Using Role editor or role scope you can set contributors to edit you custom post type but not publish so every change will be set as draft until approval, and to limit the creation of new posts of your custom post type you can use my plugin Bainternet Posts Creation Limits Update To force re … Read more
This first step to making this happen is add the capability to create_users to a given role. You do this be calling get_role, then using the add_cap method. This only needs to be done once. Here’s an example that does it on plugin activation. <?php register_activation_hook( __FILE__, ‘wpse42003_activation’ ); function wpse42003_activation() { foreach( array( ‘editor’, … Read more
