Hide WPSP from non-admin users
5 replies · Started by Tim on May 4, 2020
Hello
I noticed that non-admin users can see WPSP in the admin area.
I tried this to make it only for admins to see, but this also hid it for admins:
add_filter( 'register_post_type_args', function( $args, $post_type ) {
if ( 'wp_show_posts' !== $post_type ) {
return $args;
}
$args['capability_type'] = 'manage_options';
return $args;
}, 10, 2 );What is wrong here ?
Thanks
Hi there,
That should make it so people with the manage_options capability can see it. Admins should have that capability by default.
Perhaps a plugin like this will help?: https://wordpress.org/plugins/capability-manager-enhanced/
Hello Thomas
Sorry for the late response.
Bizarrely it had the opposite effect. Without the above code the plugin is visible to my admin account, but with the above code the plugin is no longer visible.
I'm hoping to manage this in code to reduce the amount of bloat attracted via additional plugins.
Thanks
Tim
Try this, instead:
add_action( 'admin_menu', function() {
if ( ! current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) {
remove_menu_page( 'edit.php?post_type=wp_show_posts' );
}
} );Again sorry for the massively belated response.
Yes, the suggested code appears to do the job.
Thank you
Tim
No problem :)
