Hide Sort Settings interface for certain administrator role users
Last updated on: March 22, 2016 6:27 am
The Sort Settings interface is available by default only to administrator role users. There are situations when sort settings need to be available only for certain users. The apto/wp-admin/reorder-interface/view-settings-capability filter help on that matter.
The following example hide the sort settings interface if logged-in user is not ID 1 or 2 or 3. This can be extended to check against username, user meta data etc. If not match it should return a capability that current user does not support.
add_filter('apto/wp-admin/reorder-interface/view-settings-capability', 'view_settings_capability');
function view_settings_capability($capability)
{
$user_ID = get_current_user_id();
if(!in_array($user_ID, array(1, 2, 3)))
$capability = '_sort_capability_';
return $capability;
}
