 * Hey,
 * I have added a Custom Post Type, which displays the posts on my homepage. However,
   if a user logs onto my wordpress and is an ‘author’, they can still see and submit
   a new post in the custom post type. I would only like administrators to be able
   to see/add a new post to the custom post type.
 * However, let EVERYONE see the posts on the actual site.
 * Is this possible?
 * My CPT function:
 * add_action(‘init’, ‘home_slider_post_type’);
 * function home_slider_post_type() {
    register_post_type(‘home-slider’, array( ‘
   labels’ => array( ‘name’ => ‘Home Slider’, ‘singular_name’ => ‘Slider’, ‘add_new’
   => ‘Add new slider’, ‘edit_item’ => ‘Edit slider’, ‘new_item’ => ‘New slider’,‘
   view_item’ => ‘View slider’, ‘search_items’ => ‘Search sliders’, ‘not_found’ 
   => ‘No sliders found’, ‘not_found_in_trash’ => ‘No sliders found in Trash’ ),‘
   public’ => true, ‘supports’ => array( ‘title’, ‘excerpt’, ‘thumbnail’, ‘editor’),‘
   taxonomies’ => array(‘post_tag’) // this is IMPORTANT )); }
