Editor roles

[marc0s]

Hey Tom,

I give access to editor user to see the appereance option with this code:

$role_object = get_role( ‘editor’ );
$role_object->add_cap( ‘edit_theme_options’ );

Work fine, but, it possible to hide the Generatepress option in this menu for editor users.

I don’t want to anybody see the GP Premium code.

EDITOR MENU OPTION

Thanks for advance

The GeneratePress page will only show for users with the edit_theme_options capability.

Any reason you’re giving that to editors?

Let me know 🙂

Hey Tom!

I actually have a use-case for this.

I’ve invited someone to create some Elementor pages on a GeneratePress Premium site.

But they couldn’t find either of these options as an “Editor”:

1.) http://d.pr/i/OU3l
2.) http://d.pr/i/p1Hq

So I had to upgrade them to “Admin”, which I really do not want to do with certain people on certain projects.

Any functions.php filters or workarounds here?

Or maybe a future checkbox in GeneratePress, similar to how Elementor itself has? Like this: http://d.pr/i/FCTh

Thanks for your help!

Sorry, my use-case wasn’t exactly 100% related to this thread. My apologies…

But still has to do with the “Editor” role at least… haha

You can adjust the necessary capability to view meta boxes using this filter: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/generate_metabox_capability/

Let me know if you need more info 🙂

Thanks Tom!

What’s the exact code to allow for the 2 boxes I shared in the screenshot above? For the Editor role.

[Tom]

That filter applies to all GP meta boxes.

So you could do this:

add_filter( 'generate_metabox_capability','tu_custom_metabox_cap' );
function tu_custom_metabox_cap() {
    return 'edit_posts';
}

Boom! Thank you…

[Tom]

You’re welcome 🙂
