Optimization tied to Role instead of Capability

    Great plugin, but I don’t understand why using it is tied to the Administrator Role instead of to for example the edit_themes Capability?

    That would make much more sense as most things nowadays are Capability related and not Role related.

    On a site I am currently building I have made 2 new Roles and adjusted the original Administrator Role. I gave the former almost all options and I tuned down the latter.

    Using your plugin however I had to switch to my inferior Administrator Role to be able to do the optimization.

    Please let me know if you need a more thorough explanation.

    Hopefully you can adjust this soon!

    Cheers,
    Piet

    Hey Piet,

    Thanks for your feedback!

    Can you try something out for me?

    In my main plug-in file (rvg-optimize-db.php) change line 24

    from:
    add_management_page(__('Optimize Database'), __('Optimize Database'),'administrator' ,'rvg-optimize-db.php', 'rvg_optimize_db');

    to:
    add_management_page(__('Optimize Database'), __('Optimize Database'),'edit_themes' ,'rvg-optimize-db.php', 'rvg_optimize_db');

    (so replace ‘administrator’ with ‘edit_themes’)

    Does that what you mean?

    peace,
    Rolf

    Hoi Rolf,

    That – as expected – does the job perfectly ??

    It nowadays in general is better to tie these kind of things into Capabilities instead of Roles.

    Hey Piet,

    Excellent!

    In the next release (probably after WP 4.0 comes out) I might permanently change it in the plugin.

    Excellent Rolf, thanks for that and for now I keep my file as is then ??

    Another thought for this wonderful plugin.. Cageehv, it would be nice to have setting / button to clean revisions ‘per post / per page’. Yes, i am aware of the one click clean all in the admin bar. But I think a button to click and clean revisions PER post / page while at that post / page would be ideal, especially for those like myself a bit hesitant at the thought of something being ‘deleted’ lol.
