wordpress editor role remove all but ‘menus’ in appearance menu

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 to plugins you would have to remove some more capabilities i assume. update_plugins, delete_plugins and so on…

otherwise you could use a plugin to handle different roles comfortable.
i do use adminimize quite a while.
