Here’s how I managed to modify the page. For the submenu highlighting, however, I haven’t managed to figure it out, so I resort to jQuery. Here’s the code: /* – Set user filter links according to users pages * – Set Role Change dropdown menu * */ function custom_user_filter_links( $views ) { global $wp_roles; // … Read more
As @t-f pointed out in his comment to question, you have an error on checking current user capability: ‘delete_published_posts’. $post_author_id simply doesn’t exist. After that, for your scope probably is a better hookin the filter wp_insert_post_data instead of the action save_post: because this one run when the post was already saved / updated, so if … Read more
I don’t know Drupal, however, seems to me that what is “node” in drupal is “post type” in WordPress. By default WordPress has several post types: posts, pages, atthachments, menu items, revisions (these post types are often referred as “built-in”). You can register any number of custom post types, aka CPT. Post types, in database, … Read more
Anyone with a login can access the admin area, even if they’re just a subscriber that can read posts and nothing more.

Try this one. I just changed only current_user_can(‘contributor’) instead of is_user_logged_in(). add_filter( ‘option_active_plugins’, ‘disable_logged_in_plugin’ ); function disable_logged_in_plugin( $plugins ) { // The ‘option_active_plugins’ hook occurs before any user information get generated, // so we need to require this file early to be able to check for logged in status require (ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/pluggable.php’); … Read more
You should be able to do this yourself by writing a simple function and hooking it it onto a user-related action (whether you want to do this once or on an ongoing basis will be up to you). There are a couple different ways to trigger it, but perhaps the simplest I can think of … Read more
One step is to use the editable_roles filter to remove roles from the dropdown but this doesn’t prevent the user from modifying the select value and create a user with “not allowed” role. Yes it does. This filter is not just for the dropdown. Modifying editable_roles does in fact prevent users from assigning a role … Read more
You can do that like this : $my_user = new WP_User( $user_id ); $my_user->set_role( “editor” );
Finally, I’ve figured out a way to do it using WP_user Class. Snippet to add/remove capability to/from specific user – //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’); There is special function in capabilities.php in the wp_user … Read more
Confirming… Yes, there’s currently (WP 3.4.1) no way to modify the access arguments for admin menu pages. The only one, that you can modify through the public wp API is the »Comments« menu item. All others are registered by hand. But there’s help coming from @scribu (read more at the trac ticket) who has so … Read more
