I recently was dealing with the exact same problem. I didn’t solve it, and we decided that since people had to pay a relatively large sum for their listings that they would be sufficiently incented not to post bad stuff. Plus it would be a pain to manually approve each one — people don’t like … Read more
That’s because the “normal” capabilites that are needed to login are missing. You should simply load the capabilites of some default role and attach them to your custom role before using it on a user. EDIT: Solution from @dashalune (OP): add_role(‘resourcerer’, ‘Resourcerer’); $role =& get_role(‘resourcerer’); $role->add_cap(‘read’);
You would hook into profile_update and user_register. First check to see if it’s a new user and whether she is an admin/editor. Then send the mail. Same story with updating the user: see if the role has changed, and whether the new role is admin or editor. <?php add_action( ‘profile_update’, ‘wpse33949_profile_update’ ); add_action( ‘user_register’, ‘wpse33949_profile_update’ … Read more
The Admin and Super Admin roles are the only ones with access to edit themes. If you’re wanting to give other people all other “Admin” capabilities but not access to edit themes, it’d probably be easiest to add the User Role Editor plugin, duplicate the Admin user with a new title and then just un-check … Read more
There is a function WordPress uses called get_editable_roles, which is (I think) used to determine which roles a particular user can edit. The source for this function looks like this: function get_editable_roles() { global $wp_roles; $all_roles = $wp_roles->roles; $editable_roles = apply_filters(‘editable_roles’, $all_roles); return $editable_roles; } So, it looks like you may be able hook into … Read more
I hope you are talking about wp-admin section. If yes just place this code in your functions.php file add_action( ‘load-edit.php’, ‘posts_for_current_contributor’ ); function posts_for_current_contributor() { global $user_ID; if ( current_user_can( ‘contributor’ ) ) { if ( ! isset( $_GET[‘author’] ) ) { wp_redirect( add_query_arg( ‘author’, $user_ID ) ); exit; } } }
On the profile page exists a global variable $profileuser. The member $profileuser->roles is an array of all roles for that user. <?php # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- // Plugin Name: personal_options add_action( ‘personal_options’, ‘print_user_roles’); function print_user_roles() { global $profileuser; print ‘<pre>$profileuser->roles=” . htmlspecialchars( var_export( $profileuser->roles, TRUE ), ENT_QUOTES, “utf-8’, FALSE ) . ‘</pre>’; } Output: … Read more
add_action(‘load-index.php’, ‘redirect_dashboard’); function redirect_dashboard() { if ( ! is_admin() || current_user_can(‘activate_plugins’) ) return; $screen = get_current_screen(); if ( is_object($screen) && $screen->base == ‘dashboard’ ) { $url = admin_url(‘edit.php’); wp_safe_redirect( add_query_arg( array(‘post_type’ => ‘product’), $url) ); die(); } }
// Query user data on admins $administrators = new WP_User_Query( array( ‘role’ => ‘administrator’ ) ); // Query user data on contributors $contributors = new WP_User_Query( array( ‘role’ => ‘contributor’ ) ); // Save admin IDs foreach( $administrators->results as $u ) $user_ids[] = $u->ID; // Save contributor IDs foreach( $contributors->results as $u ) $user_ids[] = … Read more
You could create a simple page template with just five lines of code: /* Template Name: Protected Page */ if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) auth_redirect(); else require_once ‘./page.php’; Then select that template for the page you want to protect. auth_redirect() will send the user to the login page and back to the original URL after … Read more
