    I’m using a wp-sticky plugin, the problem is authors could also use it, are there any ways to disable the sticky options for authors by using the role management plugin or are there any other ways? Thanks

  • If you author can manage options, they can manage WP-Sticky and as far as I know Author cannot manage options, check out https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Roles_and_Capabilities

    What I mean is I want to disable the Sticky Post option for authors when publishing a post, are there any ways to remove that and only admins could make a post sticky/announcement? thanks

    Oh, I get what you mean.

    In wp-sticky.php,

    Find:
    function sticky_add_meta_box() {
    add_meta_box('poststickystatusdiv', __('Post Sticky Status', 'wp-sticky'), 'sticky_metabox_admin', 'post', 'side');
    }

    Replace:
    function sticky_add_meta_box() {
    $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
    $user_level = intval($current_user->user_level);
    if($user_level == 10) {
    add_meta_box('poststickystatusdiv', __('Post Sticky Status', 'wp-sticky'), 'sticky_metabox_admin', 'post', 'side');
    }
    }

    The code is untested
