Don’t see a plugin’s (Redirection) capabilities

    I’m using a plugin called Redirection and would like to give one of my roles access to it via Tools > Redirection menu but when I view the capabilities within User Role Editor, I don’t see any listed that would seem to relate to the Redirection plugin.

    1. How do I identify plugin capabilities?
    2. If I need to create a custom capability, it seems like I can add a label but how does that tie into the actual capability? Does there need to be additional coding?

    Thanks

    “Redirection” plugin uses ‘administrator’ role to protect its menu item under “Tools” menu by default. In respect to plugin developer – he makes it with custom filter:

    
apply_filters( 'redirection_role', 'administrator' )

    So you can easy replace it with your own custom user capability. Create one, like ‘redirection_admin’ and add filter to your active theme functions.php file:

    
add_filter('redirection_role', 'replace_redirection_cap');
function replace_redirection_cap($cap) {
  $cap = 'redirection_admin';

  return $cap;
}

    P.S. I just wrote this code and did not test it for the sudden typos…
