Using the flamingo_map_meta_cap filter

  • I am attempting to allow editors to see the Flamingo posts. I have tried putting the following into a plugin:

    $fl_meta_caps = array(
    'flamingo_edit_contacts' => 'delete_page',
    'flamingo_edit_contact' => 'delete_page',
    'flamingo_delete_contact' => 'delete_page',
    'flamingo_edit_inbound_messages' => 'delete_page',
    'flamingo_delete_inbound_message' => 'delete_page',
    'flamingo_delete_inbound_messages' => 'delete_page',
    'flamingo_spam_inbound_message' => 'delete_page',
    'flamingo_unspam_inbound_message' => 'delete_page' );

add_filter('flamingo_map_meta_cap', $fl_meta_caps);

    and it ends up giving the editor rights to admin-level capabilities.

    I have seen the example for specific users., but I would like to allow all editors this ability, but not authors.

    You are incorrectly using add_filter(). See https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/add_filter

    I had actually tried returning it via a function, but when that didn’t work I tried a couple more things. It is either the filters or map_meta_cap that I do not understand.

    It appears that the filter only needs an array returned, but I must be wrong.

    This function simply removes flamingo from all users capabilities.

    function fl_map_meta_cap($meta_caps){
	$meta_caps = array(
		'flamingo_edit_contacts' => 'delete_page',
		'flamingo_edit_contact' => 'delete_page',
		'flamingo_delete_contact' => 'delete_page',
		'flamingo_edit_inbound_messages' => 'delete_page',
		'flamingo_delete_inbound_message' => 'delete_page',
		'flamingo_delete_inbound_messages' => 'delete_page',
		'flamingo_spam_inbound_message' => 'delete_page',
		'flamingo_unspam_inbound_message' => 'delete_page');

	return $meta_caps;
}
add_filter('flamingo_map_meta_cap', 'fl_map_meta_cap');

    Resolved. I needed to change ‘delete_page’ to ‘delete_pages’

    function fl_map_meta_cap($meta_caps){
	$meta_caps = array(
		'flamingo_edit_contacts' => 'delete_pages',
		'flamingo_edit_contact' => 'delete_pages',
		'flamingo_delete_contact' => 'delete_pages',
		'flamingo_edit_inbound_messages' => 'delete_pages',
		'flamingo_delete_inbound_message' => 'delete_pages',
		'flamingo_delete_inbound_messages' => 'delete_pages',
		'flamingo_spam_inbound_message' => 'delete_pages',
		'flamingo_unspam_inbound_message' => 'delete_pages');

	return $meta_caps;
}
add_filter('flamingo_map_meta_cap', 'fl_map_meta_cap');

    Thank you Takayuki Miyoshi.
