Message Cheatin' uh by save when cap manage_options is removed

    Because of security reasons I’ve removed the manage_options capability for my clients. Now the problem I run into is that Option Tree is using the page options.php to save the options. But because my clients have no access to this page they get the error “Cheatin’ Uh” when saving the options within Option Tree.

    Also in the changelog I see there is something changed with the capabilities in Option Tree:
    2.0.10 – Change capabilities from manage_options to edit_theme_options.
    But it seems Option Tree is still working with the manage_options capability.

    It seems I can’t find any way to save the options within Option Tree with options.php (manage_options capability) removed.

    Anyone could help me out with this one?
    Help would be much appreciated.

    OptionTree uses edit_theme_options and not manage_options as the capability since 2.0.10 and has the ot_theme_options_capability filter that you can use to change the capabilities.

    add_filter( 'ot_theme_options_capability', 'your_cap_here' );
