Hello Great GD Team,

I really love your plugin. Really the best among all the listing plugins here in wordpress.

However, I was just wondering regarding your “admin only edit checkbox” in listing form field.

Whenever I check this, admin can only edit a particular field. How about if I want the editor role to be included in this function? So far editors can’t see what admins can only edit.

In my case, I want to deligate the admin only edit function to editor role as well. Do you think that is possible? Thank you so much.

hi @alexzaragoza21,

I’m sorry for the late reply and also to tell you that’s not possible out of the box.

I asked to the developers if a plugin like the user role editor could help with this. We will let you know asap.

Thanks for your patience 🙏

I really appreciate your help. Please let me know if this is possible. Hope there is a way.

My client wants to delegate tasks to his editor and he doesn’t want to just give an admin account.

More power to your team! Thank you so much. 🙂

Hi Alex,

with the current version, it is not possible.

That said, we added a hook that will be available from the next update. A code snippet will make it possible to enable other roles to edit those fields.

This would be an example of the code needed for fields “for_staff” & “covid_note” for the editor role:
```
/**
 * Extend "Admin Only" field edit to user with Editor role.
 */
function gd_snippet_add_listing_custom_field_is_hidden( $is_hidden, $field, $package_id, $default ) {
	if ( $is_hidden && ! empty( $field['for_admin_use'] ) && is_user_logged_in() && ( $roles = (array) wp_get_current_user()->roles ) ) {
		if ( in_array( 'editor', $roles ) && in_array( $field['name'], array( 'for_staff', 'covid_note' ) ) ) {
			$is_hidden = false;
		}
	}
	return $is_hidden;
}
add_filter( 'geodir_add_listing_custom_field_is_hidden', 'gd_snippet_add_listing_custom_field_is_hidden', 11, 4 );
```
If you wish, you can test this by downloading the development version of the plugin from Github.

Let us know how it goes.
