[Plugin: Contact Form 7] Hide contact form settings in admin panel for editors

See

Contact Form 7: Restricting Access to the Administration Panel

I have looked and tried that, but it doesnt work- editors can still access it.

Hi, i use the plugin adminimize to manage access/visibility over my complete backend. It works fine for me with contact-form as well.. hope that will help

I also use Adminimize, but For some reason Contact Form 7 doesn’t appear in the list.

However, the code given here: https://contactform7.com/2009/11/18/restricting-access-to-the-administration-panel-2/

..Did actually work. It seems I had to move it closer to the top of the file (wp-config.php).

Anyway cheers for the help guys.

Where in wp-config.php did you put them? It’s not working for me. Thanks.

Oh, but I’m not using Adminimize – I wonder if that matters.

I suppose the positioning of where you add the code depends what other stuff you have in that file (wp-config.php). I for one, have a fair bit of custom stuff in there. Just have a play around, positioning it in different places- trial & error.

Did you keep the lines of code together, or split them up, Jeffrey?

Thanks,
Kim

keep it together. Below I’ll post a snippet of the code from my wp-config file to give you an idea of where it should go…

/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */

define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');

/** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */

define('DB_COLLATE', '');

/** Allow only admins to see contact form 7 settings in admin panel */
define( 'WPCF7_ADMIN_READ_CAPABILITY', 'manage_options' );
define( 'WPCF7_ADMIN_READ_WRITE_CAPABILITY', 'manage_options' );

/**#@+

 * Authentication Unique Keys and Salts.

That worked, Jeffrey! Thank you very much, and I’m glad this extra detail is here for posterity. ??

No problem, glad you got it working ??

Hello, why not just adding a few lines of code in the function.php file rather than the wp-config.php :

function remove_contact_menu () {
global $menu;
	$restricted = array(__('Contact'));
	end ($menu);
	while (prev($menu)){
		$value = explode(' ',$menu[key($menu)][0]);
		if(in_array($value[0] != NULL?$value[0]:"" , $restricted)){unset($menu[key($menu)]);}
	}
}
add_action('admin_menu', 'remove_contact_menu');
if(!current_user_can('level_10')) {
	add_action('admin_menu', 'remove_contact_menu');
}

It works great!

Hi graphys you’re right, it would be better to edit the functions.php file rather than wp-config.php but the code you posted above doesn’t work for me: editors can still see the Contact Form settings.
