Remove Contributor ability to create posts

  • Contributors on my site are only allowed to create posts through another plugin (WPForms). With your pro version, will I be able to remove the ability of Contributor to create posts? I only want them to edit and delete their posts.

    Pro version allows to use separate ‘create_posts’ capability for “Posts->Add New” instead of default ‘edit_posts’.

    If you will not grant ‘create_posts’ to contributor role, such user will not have access to this page.

    I am now using the free version of the plugin which also displays a separate “create_posts” which I left unchecked for Contributors, but they still can use the default Add New post. To be sure I understand, if I purchase the Pro version, this problem will be fixed, meaning the “Add New” capability will go away when “create_posts” is unchecked?

    Another option is that I hide the Add New post in the Admin menu. Will the Pro version allow me to hide Add New post but allow the Contributor to see other items in the Admin bar/menu?

    I confirm that with related option activate at URE Pro, the “Add New” capability will go away when “create_posts” is unchecked for the role.

    You can hide selected admin menu item with “Admin menu access” add-on included into URE Pro. But I recommend to make this 1st via user capabilities.
