Disable delete option for Contributor Role

Hi Paul,

Let me check with your requirement on my staging website. Please expect a little delay in response as it is weekend.

Thanks for reaching out to us.

Kind regards,

Hi @anandjose2000,

I checked your requirement on my staging but this can’t be done.

My sincere apologies.

Kind regards,

Hi @expresstechsupport, thanks for your response.

It is quite illogical to give Contributor roles permission to delete, WP doesn’t allow this for posts. Maybe its a feature worth considering in future release.

For the time being I managed to find a workaround using following edits to quizzes-page.php file, although I know that this not the right way to do it. I’m not a programmer myself.

<?php
if ( current_user_can( 'activate_plugins' ) ): // check for a capability that only admins have ?>

<option value="delete_pr"><?php _e('Delete Permanently', 'quiz-master-next'); ?></option>

<?php endif; // end of user capability check ?>

This can be used hide Delete & Bulk Delete options, although the file will be replaced if I update. Would wait for someone else from the community to share the thoughts.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for sharing the details. However, I will talk to the development team whether this can be included in our roadmap or not.

Kind regards,
Kriti
