Hide GeneratePress' customizer option by role

That function is likely your best bet, although it is subject to change (if we re-organize etc..), so keep an eye on it.

Let me know if you run into any issues :)

Hi Tom,
OK thanks. I will test and I will add an example for the others.

Thanks!

@gregoirenoyelle, ever got your code to work? I'm currently searching for the same thing.

Show and hide customizer Panels, sections and settings based on user role.

Thanks

I just figured out, Thanks.

Ok @Ismael . Great

I ran into this ticket as I was trying to give my editor user the ability to add menus, without having access to the full "Appearance". I found the below code, and have managed to hide everything I need to hide except for the Generate Options Page.

/* Give Editor Appearance Edit Privilege */

function add_theme_caps() {
    $role_object = get_role( 'editor' );
    $role_object->add_cap( 'edit_theme_options' );
}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'add_theme_caps');

/* Hide Appearance Submenus Except Menu Page */

function hide_menu() {

    if (current_user_can('editor')) {

        remove_submenu_page( 'themes.php', 'themes.php' ); // hide the theme selection submenu
        remove_submenu_page( 'themes.php', 'themes.php?page=generate-options' ); // hide theme options
        remove_submenu_page( 'themes.php', 'widgets.php' ); // hide the widgets submenu
        remove_submenu_page( 'themes.php', 'customize.php' ); // hide the customizer submenu        
        remove_submenu_page( 'themes.php', 'customize.php?return=%2Fwp-admin%2F' ); // hide the customizer submenu

    }
}

add_action('admin_head', 'hide_menu');

This line below isn't doing the trick and I would like to know if there is a way to resolve that.

        remove_submenu_page( 'themes.php', 'themes.php?page=generate-options' ); // hide theme options

Thanks!

Hi Omar,

For one, I think the best way to deal with it is with this filter:

That very was helpful, Thanks!

No problem. :)
