How do I create a page without admin rights?

    Hello everyone!

    Unfortunately as an Editor I am not able to create an Organic Widgets Page.

    1. create an empty page
    2. change template to “Organic Custom”

    There is no button showing up in the text editor. I could even write my text in there. When I press the general update button, nothing happens except that the text I wrote is beeing saved.

    When I do this procedure as an Admin, it works perfectly well, the button shows up and I start creating the page.

    What am I doing wrong? Is there any way, to create a Organic Custom Page without admin rights?

    Thank you!

    Hello!

    Unfortunately an admin role is required for using the customizer widgets. However, you could try a capabilities plugin to change the capabilities for the Editor role to allow for more control, https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/capability-manager-enhanced/

    I hope this helps. Thanks!

    Thanks, David! That’s good to know. So, do you know how the capability I need is called?
    (Trying out all of the available would take a while.)

    I enabled every capability that has to do with plugins for the role my user has, but that didn’t give me the ability to use Organic Widgets.

    Hello!

    After looking into the code further, I believe this is because the user role needs to have the capability to customize the site. That’s based on this conditional:

    current_user_can( 'customize' )

    That conditional code is located in the class-organic-widgets-admin.php file. You could manually remove this conditional code. However, I think the better option would be to grant that user/role the capability to customize the site.

    I hope this helps. Thanks!

    I’m going to mark this issue as resolved. Let us know if there is anything else.

    Thanks!
