I installed pop up maker and capabilities plugin in wordpress for my website. I want to create one user who is not able to see the link for pop up maker. I tried with adding user with some capability but I am not able to hide pop up maker link.
How can I achieve this? Do I need to use another capability plugin?
You can use the remove_menu_page() function called via the admin_menu action hook. If you just want to remove the link for a single user, check the current user's ID first with wp_get_current_user().
function remove_admin_menu_item_for_user() {
$user = wp_get_current_user();
// Check to see if the current user's ID is the one we want to remove the page for
if ( $user->ID == ??? ){
// Use the $menu_slug for the page you want to remove
remove_menu_page( $menu_slug );
}
}
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'remove_admin_menu_item_for_user' );
If you would prefer to use a plugin Admin Menu Editor should work as well, though you may need the Pro version.

I'm running a multi author's wordpress site, and users can post contents directly from the front end of my site.
My problem is this, file upload is directly allowed on the front end of my wordpress site.
I want a situation whereby, when users click on Add Media button from my site post submission form,
Instead of seeing this wordpress Add Media Library to select and upload media,
I want them to see this instead. Takes them straight to their device file.
Any code i can use to execute this on my wordpress site?
To hide “Add Media” from frontend users, you should limit access to the media library to administrator and editor roles only.
From WP Beginner, You’ll need to add the following code to your WordPress functions.php file or a site-specific plugin.
// Limit media library access
add_filter( 'ajax_query_attachments_args', 'wpb_show_current_user_attachments' );
function wpb_show_current_user_attachments( $query ) {
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
if ( $user_id && !current_user_can('activate_plugins') && !current_user_can('edit_others_posts
') ) {
$query['author'] = $user_id;
}
return $query;
}
This code uses current_user_can function to check if the user has the capability to activate plugins or edit other user’s posts. If they don’t, then it changes the query used to display media files and limit it to user’s ID.
I want to add a menu page on Admin as well as User Dashboard, I have developed a plugin and it is working fine on admin dashboard but it is not showing on Client/User Dashboard. May be it is due to "role" property. But I want this on client side also. Can anyone help me please,thanks in advance!
Basic purpose is that the client have to offer some products to share or download on the website form his client/user dashboard. so I need to add this functionality using a plugin and this needs to add on client dashboard to work.
function wpdocs_register_my_custom_menu_page() {
add_menu_page(
__( 'Custom Menu Title', 'oceanwp' ), 'Offers','manage_options','ump-date-updater/ump-date-updater.php', '', 'dashicons-tickets',6);
}
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'wpdocs_register_my_custom_menu_page');
According to WP Codex the $capability parameter determines whether the menu item is shown to a user. See here for more info on roles and capabilities, and how to create custom capabilities.
// run this function on your plugin activation code
function setup_capabilities()
{
$role = get_role( 'author' ); // set this to the actual role of "User"
$role->add_cap('see_my_custom_menu_item');
}
and replace manage_options in your code with see_my_custom_menu_item
I have created a custom user role "faquser" in my wp site. Now I want to hide contact form 7 menu ( or disable) only for this role. How can I do that? I saw this:
http://contactform7.com/restricting-access-to-the-administration-panel/
But if I do this, then contact form only works for administrator and not for any others. I have also tried to do something like this:
remove_menu_page('admin.php?page=wpcf7');
This did not remove the menu item either.
I found the solution:
remove_menu_page('wpcf7');
In order to do this properly you need to write a function that determines which roles you need to remove the menu item for.
remove_menu_page('wpcf7'); // This is the snippet that will remove the contact form 7 menu specifically.
This is an example of a function that does the complete task.
function remove_menu_pages() {
global $user_ID;
if ( !current_user_can( 'publish_posts' ) ) {
remove_menu_page('edit-comments.php'); // Comments
remove_menu_page('edit.php?post_type=page'); // Pages
remove_menu_page('wpcf7'); // Contact Form 7 Menu
}
}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'remove_menu_pages' );
You can get a full list of capabilities of the different roles in WordPress here: https://wordpress.org/support/article/roles-and-capabilities/
I chose "publish_posts" so that all user types below author and who do not have the capability "publish_posts" will not see the contact form 7 menu, or the comments or pages menu items.
Depending on the capabilities you gave your user role "faquser" will determine which capabilities you need to call the function for.
I'm trying to add a ACF to the woocommerce front end 'My Account' page.
I've created the field, called it 'vat_number' and managed to add it to the User Edit Screen on the backend of the website.
I'm trying to add this field to the Edit Address front end screen on Woocommerce.
I've tried adding the following to the 'My-address.php' template, but it doesn't work
<?php the_field('vat_number', $user_id); ?>
But it's not working, does anyone know where i'm going wrong?
Does the $user_id need to be the id of the current logged-in user? If so, you need to get the user ID first.
$user_ID = get_current_user_id();
the_field('vat_number', $user_ID);
I have created a edit link on my wordpress where subscribers can edit their posts. When they click this it takes them back to the admin portal to edit post. I want to make sure they can't see the categories widget on the right side how do I remove that from a user seeing this?
<?php edit_post_link(__("Edit Post"), ''); ?>
I ahve this un the function.php file but need to know how to make it just for subscribers.
function wpse60590_remove_metaboxes() { if() remove_meta_box( 'categorydiv' , 'post' , 'normal' ); remove_meta_box( 'tagsdiv-post_tag' , 'post' , 'normal' ); } add_action( 'admin_menu' , 'wpse60590_remove_metaboxes' );
You need to modify the capabilities of these users' role to prevent them from working with categories. The capability you need to disable for their role should be "manage_categories".
Just make sure all of the users you wish to limit are in the same role (e.g. "Contributor" or something).
In my experience the easiest way to manage capabilities for roles is the Members Plugin.
Once installed, go to Users -> Roles -> Select the role you wish to change. Find "manage_categories", uncheck it, and save.
If you are using a custom post type, we may have to add some settings where you register the taxonomy to specify the ability to assign a category to a post.
