by default the editor role should not have access to plugins nor appearance menu. But maybe this roles is already customised in your installation? here is a list of editor default capabilities via functions.php you can remove everything in the appearance menu like so: $role_object = get_role( ‘editor’ ); $role_object->remove_cap( ‘edit_theme_options’ ); to remove access … Read more
