 * Unfortunately, that’s not how the “extra capability” setting works. It doesn’t
   replace the existing required permissions; it’s an _additional_ requirement. 
   If you set it to “editor”, the user will need to have _both_ the required capability
   _and_ the “Editor” role to access the menu. So if the user didn’t already have
   access to the menu, changing “extra capability” won’t give them that access. 
   Generally, the free version of this plugin can’t be used to give roles access
   to menus that they normally can’t see.
 * Instead, try using a role editing plugin (e.g. something like [User Role Editor](https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/)
   or [Members](https://wordpress.org/plugins/members/)) to enable the “edit_theme_options”
   capability for the “Editor” role. That should let the role access most theme 
   settings.
