User capabilities

    Hey,

    How can I give a non-admin user the ability to edit the headers/footers with elementor.

    As far as I can see from the code the only capability checked is edit_posts which I’ve checked is part of the users capabilities (currently Editor role) but I get the following error message: “Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.”

    Please let me know if it is possible to grant a capability to non-admins which would allow them to edit the headers/footers. Thanks.

    Hello @robertshippey,

    This is because of the post type sets show_in_menu to false and the header footer posts are accessed form a different menu under Appearance

    You can use this snippet to change this – 

    function your_prefix_filter_post_type_args_hfe( $args, $name ) {

	// bail if post-type is not from hfe.
	if ( 'elementor-hf' !== $name ) {
		return $args;
	}

	if ( ! current_user_can( 'administrator' ) ) {
		$args[ 'show_in_menu' ] = true;
	}

	return $args;
}

add_filter( 'register_post_type_args', 'your_prefix_filter_post_type_args_hfe', 20, 2 );
