Create a functionality plugin and use this if you want to completely block the access to the Admin panel: /** * Hide the admin bar in the front end */ add_filter(‘show_admin_bar’, ‘__return_false’); /** * Redirects Authors and Subscribers to the site front page using: get_home_url() */ add_action(‘admin_init’,’block_users_wpse_53675′); function block_users_wpse_53675() { if( !current_user_can( ‘delete_pages’ ) ) … Read more
You can do it by executing simple SQL query: UPDATE wp_usermeta SET meta_value=”a:1:{s:11:”contributor”;b:1;}” WHERE meta_key = ‘wp_capabilities’ AND meta_value=”a:1:{s:10:”subscriber”;b:1;}” This query will updated all subscribers to be contributors.
How can I write a bulk MySQL command to add in the value wp_capabilites=”a:1:{s:10:”subscriber”;b:1;}” into each user_id except 1, 2 and 3 ie. the newly imported users? You don’t. That is a serialized array which is a PHP construct. MySQL has no idea what to do with it. To the database, it is just an … Read more
Here’s the solution. Comments included: <?php $results = get_users(‘role=director’); foreach ($results as $result) { // Get data about each user as an object $user = get_userdata($result->ID); // Create a flat array with only the fields we need $directors[$user->ID] = array( ‘dir_order’ => $user->exit_director_order, ‘dir_id’ => $user->ID, ‘dir_name’ => $user->first_name.’ ‘.$user->last_name ); } // Sort sort($directors); … Read more
Something like this would be more efficient. This is basic PHP by the way, not WP specific. function add_extra_item_to_nav_menu( $items, $args ) { $roles = [ ‘administrator’ => [ //Role – slug name ‘SCHOOL_NAME-A’, //url path – appended to the end ‘ADMIN’, // can be any name – appended to SHOP NOW button ], ‘ROLEABC’ … Read more
Your question seems to boil down to this I can’t figure out how to check that the $userids in question are an administrators user ID. Try user_can($id,’administrator’) http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/user_can The Codex has a warning about using role names with the current_user_can function and it is very similar to user_can so I suppose caution is order until … Read more
I have the same thing running on my website. Here is how I do do it… Only post author and commentor can view each others comments function restrict_comments( $comments , $post_id ){ global $post; $user = wp_get_current_user(); if($post->post_author == $user->ID){ return $comments; } foreach($comments as $comment){ if( $comment->user_id == $user->ID || $post->post_author == $comment->user_id ){ … Read more
Found the basic problem! Although a different context than the one you described, the root cause is probably the same. I was trying to allow users to setup a personal page and upload an image to display there. I kept getting the dreaded “You don’t have permission to attach files to this post”. The message … Read more
I’ve edited the code a bit and this works on my localhost. Try it and let me know if it does the job. Be careful to edit your own admin role though. Or put in another condition to prevent updating your admin role in case of a use error. Edit: added ob_start() thanks to Mark … Read more
In your functions.php file do this: add_action(‘register_form’,’register_role_field’); add_action(‘register_post’,’check_fields’,10,3); add_action(‘user_register’, ‘register_role_fieldforuser’); // This will register new field in registration form function register_role_field(){ ?> <label>Choose your role:<br/> <!— Let’s check if there role already set. If $_GET[‘role’] = 0 -then this is teacher if 1 = student —> <?php if ( isset( $_GET[‘role’] ) ) { ?> … Read more
