    Hi

    So i am using adminimize the past while and it works great.

    However, i added a new plug in to my website which allows the export of content into csv files.

    I need to allow the editors of my site access to this plug in menu.

    Currently the editors only have access to posts section, they post blogs and job updates.

    I have unchecked the option for this plug in. In the menu section of adminimize and the editors of my website still do not have access to this plug in when they log into wordpress, i have tried various fixes.

    any help would be great.

    Thanks

    That’s not possible. Adminimize can’t change the capabilities of the roles, only hide of areas for roles. You can change the role with the plugin ‘Members’ and after that, if your role have to much areas, use Adminimize to remove them.

    Thank you for your reply.

    I think you misread the question or else i did not clarify the question correctly.

    I installed a plug in which i would like the editors of my website to have access to.

    The editors currently only have access to posts, because i have hidden all other menu items using the Adminimize plug in.

    The new plug in that i installed is hidden from the wordpress menu also. i want to make the plug in menu visible.

    From my understanding, Adminimize has hidden all menu items because i have checked the relevant box in the Adminimize Menu Options pane. I have unchecked the box for this plug in and the plug in is still hidden in the wordpress menu.

    Which plugin do you mean? I will chech the source for the capability, that added to an role.

    On default, if you remove the checkbox on the Adminimize settings and update this, it should visible again. But if you an cache active maybe a cache plugin or others, please reflush the cache.

    Hi

    This is my dashboard view as administrator of the website

    This is the dashboard view that my editors see

    This is the view that i see from inside in Adminimize settings, this is the menu options pane

    As you can see from Adminimize screenshot, i have unchecked the plug in that i want to make visible, it is not visible in the editors menu though as you can see from the editors screenshot above.

    I hope this explains a little more clearly for you, thanks for any help you can provide

    Please see this code: https://plugins.trac.ww.wp.xz.cn/browser/file-manager/trunk/BootStart/BootStart.php#L247

    This menu item is only visible for ‘adminstrator’. You can change this without a change of the role. Adminimize can’t help you. By the way the plugin use the wrong value, it should use a capability like ‘manage_options’, so that you can add this to an other role.
