Adding rights to editors to see the list of users

@andsmith

Ideally you need to create your own site specific plugin for this as a themes functions.php can get overwritten when a theme is updated.

To accomplish what you want you should apply the change only to the ‘manage’ menu and you need to select an appropriate role to return to allow editors and above to access the page from here:

‘moderate_comments’ should do the trick.

Hi Mattyrob,

Thanks for reply. Please write me where to add ‘moderate_comments’. I’m not a coder. And where can I find help to create site specific plugin?

Thanks,
Ansmith

If you’ve never written a plugin before then this plugin is a great help:

In the code example you linked to the ‘moderate_comments’ would be what you’d ‘return’, so the line would be:
return 'moderate_comments''

Hi Mattyrob,

I created the plugin, placed the code and added return ‘moderate_comments’; but unfortunately nothing happened. I think menu and user(editor) should added but I don’t know how.

Thanks,
Andsmith

@andsmith

Have you activated the plugin you created?

If you have paste your code here or at a service like pastebin it is more than few lines and I’ll try to help.

Hi Mattyrob,

Yes, it is active and I pasted this code.

function s2_admin_changes( $capability, $menu ) {
if ( $menu == ‘send’ ) {
return ‘moderate_comments’;
}

return $capability;
}

add_filter(‘s2_capability’, ‘s2_admin_changes’, 10, 2);

Thanks,
Andsmith

@andsmith

Very nearly there. You are changing access to the Send Email page. On the line that starts with an ‘if’ change the ‘send’ to ‘manage’.

Hi Mattyrob,

Great, it works fine. Thank you so much ??
