Level 1 capability to edit post – "Conditional"

  • Trying to determine how to allow a user (“level 1”) to edit a specific post? The post was created by an admin, but given permission to access by level 1 user. If I understand correctly, this can be done by the use of custom capabilities / conditionals.
    It appears that I should use:
    “current_user_can(“edit_post”)”

    Do I use it as a shortcode like this “[current_user_can(“edit_post”)]” and if so, where do I put the shortcode?
    I tried using the parameter in the “Custom Capabilities” of the post, but it doesn’t work…

    I think you misunderstood “custom capabilities” and “current_user_can”…

    You may use some plugin to set user roles globally, but I think it’s better to not mess with this (not sure what they will be able to edit…), better is to be done as custom solution.

    I tried to do it globally with a plugin, but then when users log in they are not directed to the member page – they go to the wp-admin page…

    @scooter1,

    s2Member is essentially about directing members with only Subscribers’ capabilities. So when you give users the capability you mentioned above, they will not be caught by s2Member’s redirections.

    That’s why a custom solution is likely to work much better.
