    Hello. I am developing a membership site and want to limit the ability to create docs to one type of member while still allowing the other type to view and comment. Currently, I am using paidmemberships pro to manage members. Is there a way to limit the ability to create docs to only a certain membership level?

    Hi, Dave. Thanks for that link. The referenced code is for giving create capabilities to only admins. Can it be modified to work for a non-admin who has a certain membership level? I know enough to add code to a file and follow along a bit, but I don’t know all my wordpress coding lingo.

    Sure. You just need to replace bp_current_user_can( 'bp_moderate' ) with some other capability. Or, if you’re not using WP user roles, some other way of knowing which users should be able to do that action.

    There are a million ways to classify users, so you’ll just have to adapt it to your setup.

    Best,
