Contact Form 7 Conflict

    I want to prevent certain users from using the Contact Form 7 plugin but still have access to posts. Under Custom Posts in User Role Editor, I see the Contact Forms but if I uncheck everything here, then people in that user role lose their ability to make standard WP posts too. Any suggestion how to overcome this issue?

    CF7 protects admin menu with these meta capabilities:
    Contact wpcf7_read_contact_forms
    Contact Forms wpcf7_read_contact_forms
    Add New wpcf7_edit_contact_forms
    Integration wpcf7_manage_integration

    and defines its custom post type ‘wpcf7_contact_form’ with the similar list of user capabilities:

    
'capabilities' => array(
	'edit_post' => 'wpcf7_edit_contact_form',
	'read_post' => 'wpcf7_read_contact_form',
	'delete_post' => 'wpcf7_delete_contact_form',
	'edit_posts' => 'wpcf7_edit_contact_forms',
	'edit_others_posts' => 'wpcf7_edit_contact_forms',
	'publish_posts' => 'wpcf7_edit_contact_forms',
	'read_private_posts' => 'wpcf7_edit_contact_forms',
)

    You don’t see these capabilities at User Role Editor as they are not exist and not added automatically. CF7 maps them to the existing user capabilities this way:

    
add_filter( 'map_meta_cap', 'wpcf7_map_meta_cap', 10, 4 );

function wpcf7_map_meta_cap( $caps, $cap, $user_id, $args ) {
	$meta_caps = array(
		'wpcf7_edit_contact_form' => WPCF7_ADMIN_READ_WRITE_CAPABILITY,
		'wpcf7_edit_contact_forms' => WPCF7_ADMIN_READ_WRITE_CAPABILITY,
		'wpcf7_read_contact_form' => WPCF7_ADMIN_READ_CAPABILITY,
		'wpcf7_read_contact_forms' => WPCF7_ADMIN_READ_CAPABILITY,
		'wpcf7_delete_contact_form' => WPCF7_ADMIN_READ_WRITE_CAPABILITY,
		'wpcf7_delete_contact_forms' => WPCF7_ADMIN_READ_WRITE_CAPABILITY,
		'wpcf7_manage_integration' => 'manage_options',
		'wpcf7_submit' => 'read',
	);

	$meta_caps = apply_filters( 'wpcf7_map_meta_cap', $meta_caps );

	$caps = array_diff( $caps, array_keys( $meta_caps ) );

	if ( isset( $meta_caps[$cap] ) ) {
		$caps[] = $meta_caps[$cap];
	}

	return $caps;
}

    Constants definition contains the answer why you can not use CF7 and posts/pages editing separately:

    
define( 'WPCF7_ADMIN_READ_CAPABILITY', 'edit_posts' );
define( 'WPCF7_ADMIN_READ_WRITE_CAPABILITY', 'publish_pages' );

    But you can redefine CF7 meta caps using CF7 own filter ‘wpcf7_map_meta_cap’ (applied at the wpcf7_map_meta_cap() showed above) and solve your task.
