Remove specific administrator’s capability
If you want to specifically deny a capability from a user (not a role), you need to use the add_cap() method and specify that the $grant parameter is false. $user = new WP_User( ‘Y’ ); $user->add_cap( ‘edit_plugins’, false );
Show menu in sidebar if on specific page AND specific user role (is_page, current_user_can)
Changed the code in functions.php to this: function get_user_role() { global $current_user; $user_roles = $current_user->roles; $user_role = array_shift($user_roles); return $user_role; } And in the sidebar.php: <?php if (is_page(array(‘page1’)) && get_user_role(‘Administrator’)) : echo ‘<div class=”widget-title”>Title 1</div>’ . wp_nav_menu(array(‘theme_location’=>’menu1’ )); elseif (is_page(array(‘page2’))) : echo ‘<div class=”widget-title”>Page 2</div>’ . wp_nav_menu(array(‘theme_location’=>’menu2’ )); elseif (is_page(array(‘page 3’))) : echo ‘<div class=”widget-title”>Page … Read more
Can I protect a type of content site-wide with a single password?
I would approach the situation like: Create an user with subscriber role. Add a meta field to the user profile. This will be the password like field you will verify the user against.

Allow a user to edit their own page and profile only

WordPress multisite, allow non super admins to create sites
In multisite installation there already is a default admin and super-admin role, and if standard capabilities are different than what you want you can modify them: A default set of capabilities is pre-assigned to each role, but other capabilites can be assigned or removed using the add_cap() and remove_cap() functions. New roles can be introduced … Read more
Restrict access to a post once it is tagged as a given status
Don’t remove the capability – this will make all editors unable to edit all posts.
