# Hide HTML editor for all users except admin

 * I need to hide the html editor for all users except the admins. I have located
   the line that shows the button in class-wp-editor.php and when I comment it out
   it disappears. When I wrap it in a if statement if(current_user_can(‘level_10’))
   it still appears. I found this code in the forums to be used to check for admin
   user but it seems to not work. Any ideas on how to accomplish this some other
   way or get current_user_can function to work how I want it to?

 * Never, **ever**, edit core WordPress files! Try looking for a role management
   plugin instead.
