    Hi, is there a way to block some users from assigning posts to a category while still allowing them and everyone else to read the post

    I would like to automatically limit who can post in some categories but still want everyone to be able to read the posts from those categories.

  • Hi Emisantos,

    You can create a group and assign the users you would love to manage post categories to it. Then proceed by assigning the manage_categories capability to that group.

    It is worth mentioning that you should take into consideration WP user roles, as this would ideally work best for roles other than; Editor and Administrator.

    You can read more on:

    Best,
