"add new" post

hi Carl,

i have tested the code my side and it works! i will re-attached the code (made a few minor changes). Should work on your side!

So, head back to your themes functions.php file and paste the following code:

<?php
function mod_caps()
{
  $editor_role = get_role('editor');
  $editor_role->remove_cap('publish_posts');
}

function mod_menu()
{
 global $submenu;
     $submenu['edit.php'][10][1] = 'publish_posts';
}

function hide_buttons()
{
  global $current_screen;

  if($current_screen->id == 'edit-post' && !current_user_can('publish_posts'))
  {
    echo '<style>.add-new-h2{display: none;}</style>';
  }
}

function ap_redirect() {
$result = stripos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'post-new.php');
  if ($result!==false && !current_user_can('publish_posts'))  {
    wp_redirect(get_option('siteurl') . '/wp-admin/index.php?permissions_error=true');
	}
}

function permissions_admin_notice()
{
  echo "<div id='permissions-warning' class='error fade'><p><strong>".__('You do not have permission to access that page.')."</strong></p></div>";
}

function showp_notice()
{
  if($_GET['permissions_error'])
  {
    add_action('admin_notices', 'permissions_admin_notice');
  }
}

add_action('admin_init','mod_caps');
add_action('admin_init','showp_notice');
add_action('admin_menu','mod_menu');
add_action('admin_menu','ap_redirect');
add_action('admin_head','hide_buttons');

?>

Do note that this includes the editor only. However, the author, and subscriber can be added manually so only admin has access.

I have checked and made sure that all brackets are closed ??

For testing purposes, please do make sure that you disable the role scoper plugin. You can always switch this back on afterwards.

Do let me know the outcome as i will most likely turn this into a plugin.

Good Luck!

Seems i missed a line in the original admin_redirect function (now ap_redirect)

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! It works like a charm!

Thanks soooo muck RSP for all your help, cant tell ya how much i appreciate that.

ONE last thing about this, which wordpress php file is it that i have to configure to put a “NICER” permissions page up…??? If you are making this a plugin it might be worth adding this in as a configuration???

THANKS AGAIN, thats awesome news for me…

Carl

Fantastic! You are most welcome Carl,

Okay, as seen in the code, the permission is found here:

/wp-admin/index.php?permissions_error=true');

However, i would assume that the permission message text can be altered within the code (section where it appears).

Should i turn this into a plugin, i will most certainly add this as a config ??

Hi RSP,

Thanks again! Honestly saved me alot of time that as. If ya lived round the corner we’d be going for a beer.

I would definitely turn it in to a plugin! When you take a step back and look at the plugins available theres not that many available when it comes to hard hacks like this, i mean there is adminimize, white lable cms, menu editor etc etc! But it always seems you need about 3 or 4 plugins to make something work. If i had the time and money available i would create a plugin that would absolutely tear apart the wordpress ADMIN! and just because there is alot of developers building sites for clients using wordpress, and then theres people who like using wordpress BUT like i said not comfortable getting 3-4 plugins to work together.

Thanks AGAIN ?? RSP.

Carl
