 * I’d like to be able to hide the theme from Editors role but not theme options(
   menus, widgets).
    Is this possible with pro version? Can’t see to be able to 
   do it in standard version.
 * Thanks…/Paul

 * Hi Paul,
 * Yes, it is possible to hide/block selected menu items of WordPress admin back-
   end menu for the selected role with Pro version:
    [https://www.role-editor.com/block-admin-menu-items](https://www.role-editor.com/block-admin-menu-items)
 * If you wish to block the “Appearance->Themes” menu item you may meet a problem:
   the top level “Appearance” menu is linked to the same page as the “Themes”, but
   you can not hide “Appearance” menu as you need access to its submenu items. If
   you does not give ‘switch_themes’ capability to the ‘Editor’ role, just ‘edit_theme_options’
   one, then ‘Editor’ will see just the active theme at the “Themes” page. So it’s
   not so critical.

 * Hello
 * I need the contrary – how to add widgets and menus to editors – ONLY those 2.
   OK if they see the theme as long as they cannot edit it anything else than menus
   and widgets. Is it possible? I did what you said above – edit themes options –
   but then I see the customize and header and background – I don’t want theme to
   customize or anything else.
 * I also see settings – tools – and a bunch of plugins that they could edit on 
   the left. Way too many things they could screw up. Just adding widgets and menus
   to the editor basic permissions would be perfect.
 * Thank you for your help 🙂
