Use linklibrary for editors

Indeed, at this time, the configuration options for Link Library are only accessible to admins. That being said, the links section, where you add the actual links, should be available to editors. Is that not the case?

The idea is that editors would only create new links, while admins would configure how the library displays.

Thanks for your reply.

No there is only a button to add an existing link to a page but no possibility to add a new one.
We run the website of a city where non of the editors has admin rights but they have to have the possibility to create new links.

Is there a way we can add it to the editors or do we have to look for another plugin?

Links for Link Library are not added from the page editor. They are added from the Links section. The goal of Link Library is not to manage links in all of the pages across your site. It is to create a database of links that can all be displayed together on a single page.

I created a test editor account on my development site and was able to access the links section and create and edit links.

You will see the Links section if you look here:

Hello Yannick

thanks for your explanation. And indeed, that it didn’t work was due to another plugin that created a new user.
I have one other question. Is there a simple way to remove the shortcode button on the page section? In fact we don’t want users to use the placement only the add links to the database.

And yes, I consider donating ??

Glad to hear you got the Links section displaying.

As for remove the button, it was not possible previously, but I just wrote an update that will allow you to remove it.

Just upgrade, then add the following line of code to your theme’s functions.php and it should disappear:

remove_action( 'media_buttons', 'link_library_render_editor_button', 20 );

Please confirm if it works for you.

Thanks a lot,

It works.
