Select only certain plugins for contributors to use

  • I am allowing users to contribute content to my site. I have certain plugins that I only want Admins to be able to use. Is there a way to shut off certain plugins for anyone that is not an admin? They don’t need access to my plugins.

    I see there is a feature “Show on screen”, is there a way to set a default, un-editable view for contributors?

    Try that on for size…it is what I have used in the past.

    Basically what I need is to select the Contributor role, and I want to hide certain features on the post screen. They don’t need to see that. Can I hide/remove those features from my theme or plugins using this?

    If I understand correctly, then I believe so…but please don’t shoot me if I am wrong, haha.

    It has been a while since I used it, but when I did I remember being able to disable things such as users being able to set the category, or the date or the post status, etc.

    You could try moving it to the front end? that way you have absolute control over what shows and what doesn’t.

    For example, I have an area on my current hobby-project where a user can create a post through a front-end dashboard.

    The only thing they have access to do to the post is Upload the featured image, set a title, and then add the post content. (No “Kitchen Sink” Access, No Category setting, none of that stuff) and then the post is sent to my email for me to approve or delete.
