But I want to allow basic traveller role users to create and edit travellers posts only. How can I do that?

The register_post_type() function takes a post type name as argument for map_meta_cap, where the default is post. Take a look at the internals of get_post_type_capabilities() for extended insights. That should help you to understand how it’s meant to be: function get_post_type_capabilities( $args ) { if ( ! is_array( $args->capability_type ) ) $args->capability_type = array( $args->capability_type, … Read more
