    I have a custom role which has limited editor permissions. I would like them to have access to the Broken Link Checker but because they aren’t Admins or Editors I cannot assign use of the plugin to them. Is there a way I can add this additional role to the plugin?

  • Hello @colinsp ,
    Yeah that is possible to you’ll have to add the edit_others_posts to your custom user role.
    You can do that via the User Role Editor plugin or you can add the following code on your child theme or a custom plugin. Just make sure you change the role slug and replace it with your actual role slug. 

    function wpmudev_simple_role_caps() {
    $role = get_role( 'sample_role' );
    $role->add_cap( 'edit_others_posts', true );
}
add_action( 'init', 'wpmudev_simple_role_caps', 11 );

    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,
    Biplav.
