Adding new capabilities

  • Dears,

    I have installed the User Role Editor and have seen that has major functionalities for capabilities for WP and WooCommerce, but how I can add capabilities for additionally installed plugins as for example Jetpack, Responsive Slider, Easy Booking etc.

    Thank you

    Hi,

    Many plugins use WordPress built-in capabilities to protect its menus. For example, Jetpack does not create own user capabilities. It remaps them to the existing user capabilities: manage_options, read, etc.

    Responsive Slider plugin protected its “Slides” menu this way:
    Slides edit_posts
    All Slides edit_posts
    Add New Slide edit_posts
    Settings manage_options

    You have to check individually what capabilities are used by what plugin.

    How I can find what capabilities are used by the plugin Huge IT Responsive Slider?
    The plugin in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/slider is simply shown as slider and I have created all possible combinations of new capabilities as
    huge_it
    reslide
    reslide-edit-slider-view
    reslide_func
    reslide_view
    reslider
    reslider_func
    reslider_view
    slide
    slider
    edit_reslider
    edit_slider
    manage_reslider

    but none has been working and shows the option for Huge IT Responsive Slider for the selected Role???

    Any help will be appreciated.
