Video Gallery not showing in sidebar

    The Video Gallery link that is added to the sidebar when the plugin is activated is only showing for Admins – I cannot get it to show for Editors. I have disabled all other plugins, and uninstalled and re-installed the latest All In One Video plugin. I am using the themes own functions.php file (no amends to the out-of-the-box one). But I still cannot get the menu link to show for Editors, meaning they have no way of adding new videos to the gallery. It was previously working, back in February, but has not been available for at least a month.

    I guess you’re speaking about the Video Gallery link in the /wp-admin/ page. If yes, the back-end plugin’s menu is restricted only for administrators. Kindly follow the steps below to provide access for the editor user role.

    1. Open /wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-video-gallery/admin/videos.php file

    2. Fine the line,

    'show_ui' => current_user_can( 'administrator' ) ? true : false,

    3. Replace it as,

    'show_ui' => ( current_user_can( 'administrator' ) || current_user_can( 'editor' ) ) ? true : false,

    4. Save the changes and try now.

    Note, we have a separate front-end submission form to allow your users to submit their videos from the site front-end. So, if you want to allow your site visitors to upload their videos, we request you to use this feature https://plugins360.com/all-in-one-video-gallery/front-end-user-submission/

    Hope, this solved your issue!

    Thank you, that’s done the trick, although why you’d limit content additions (by default) to the Administrator I don’t know, especially as the menu item was showing previously.

    Since we introduced the front-end submission feature for users, we restricted the back-end access only for admins. But, our next version will give permission for editors to the back-end.
