    Hey Team,

    Been tearing my hair out trying to work out why Better Search Replace wouldn’t show up under “Tools” when I activated it, even after deactivating all plugins etc.

    Turns out since I have define(‘DISALLOW_FILE_MODS’, true ); set in wp-config, the plugin just doesn’t show up at all.

    Could you please eithier:
    1. Fix This
    2. Let me know why, and how I can mod your plugin to enable this

    I won’t be taking define(‘DISALLOW_FILE_MODS’, true ); out of my wp-config file, but I would really love to continue using your awesome plugin.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    This is because of the authentication check that the plugin makes before loading anything. By default it checks if you have the “install_plugins” capability (which the DISALLOW_FILE_MODS constant seems to remove), but there is a filter for changing that if needed.

    You can do this by adding something like the below in your theme’s functions.php or in a custom plugin:

    /**
 * Customizes the capability required to run BSR.
 *
 * @access public
 * @return string
 */
function bsr_custom_capability() {
	return 'manage_options';
}
add_filter( 'bsr_capability', 'bsr_custom_capability' );

    I hope that helps! Let me know if you run into any further issues.
