    Hi!

    You could try to open smart-slider-2.php in the plugin’s root folder and find this line:

    if(is_admin()){

    and replace that with this one:

    if(current_user_can( 'edit_theme_options' )){

    Thanks NextendWeb,

    It workd with:

    function nextend_smart_slider2_menu_page(){
    add_menu_page( 'Smart Slider 2', 'Sliders', 'edit_theme_options', 'nextend-smart-slider2', 'nextend_smart_slider2', 'dashicons-format-gallery');
}

    cheers

    Ohh I’m glad to read it. Hopefully in the future we have a little time to create an user interface for this feature. Nowadays we’re refactoring and optimizing the whole plugin from zero. ??

    Hi,
    I have tried both methods listed above and the first one has worked for me but with a slight modification.

    function nextend_smart_slider2_menu_page(){
    add_menu_page( 'Smart Slider 2', 'Sliders', 'edit_pages', 'nextend-smart-slider2', 'nextend_smart_slider2', 'dashicons-format-gallery');
}

    I changed the capability to “edit_pages” and then it worked. The second method suggested, doesn’t work at all.
