Best Roles and Capability on a site with review features using a front end custom post

This is how I did it : function if_restrict_categories($categories) { global $current_user; $a = get_cat_if_user($current_user->ID); $onPostPage = (strpos($_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’], ‘edit-tags.php’)); if (is_admin() && $onPostPage && !current_user_can(‘level_10’)) { $size = count($categories); for ($i = 0; $i < $size; $i++) { if($categories[$i]->parent != $a && $categories[$i]->term_id != $a){ unset($categories[$i]); } } } return $categories; } add_filter(‘get_terms’, ‘if_restrict_categories’); And … Read more
