There are 2 approaches to get something equivalent to what you want, but, it isn’t possible to have exactly what you want. On a single site administrator is the highest level, so you can’t have higher than the highest. Instead, here are alternatives: Turn your site into a multisite install that contains only 1 site, … Read more
You may have to adjust the capability. add_action( ‘admin_init’, ‘hide_update_msg’, 1 ); function hide_update_msg() { ! current_user_can( ‘install_plugins’ ) and remove_action( ‘admin_notices’, ‘update_nag’, 3 ); }
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
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; } } }
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(); } }
So the answer it seems is a bug in the plugin BP Disable Activation Reloaded: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-role-bp-20-21
I assume your WP settings is New User Default Role = contributor If yes, so this block of code shows all the contributor’s with account_status = approved; $args = array( ‘role’ => ‘contributor’, ‘meta_key’ => ‘account_status’, ‘meta_value’ => ‘approved’ ); $users = get_users($args); foreach ($users as $user) { echo ‘<pre>’; print_r( $user ); echo ‘</pre>’; … Read more
Because of this line in wp-admin/admin.php: if ( current_user_can( ‘manage_options’ ) ) { wp_raise_memory_limit( ‘admin’ ); } In other words, WordPress raises the memory limit to WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT within the admin, but only for users with the manage_options capability i.e. administrators. Your best bet is to raise the default memory limit in your wp-config.php: define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, … Read more
No, to set a users role you have to have the admin role. Authors cannot change or set roles An important thing to keep in mind is that it isn’t an editor who logs in, it’s a user with the edit role. Roles don’t login, they’re just collections of privileges assigned to users. Is there … Read more
