What capability are you thinking of using instead of manage_options? As far as I am aware, the manage_options capability is the most appropriate one for dealing with options/settings pages. The plugin is not designed to allow 2nd or 3rd party code to change the capability required to manage the options/settings. So, unfortunately, there really is not a way to change the capability from manage_options unless you modify Breadcrumb NavXT’s files (which I strongly advise against).
Hi John,
a lot of plugins use a filter so 3th parties can change the permissions.
WP Rocket uses the following:
if ( ! current_user_can( apply_filters( 'rocket_capacity', 'manage_options' ) ) ) {
This way the default capability is ‘manage_options’, but I can change that by using the filter.
Changing plugin/core files should never be done, so I totally agree with that.
After surveying a couple of plugins by authors I respect, it looks like the popular thing to do now is to create a new capability specific for a plugin’s options pages. I’ll look into doing that for the next release and I am tracking this in the following GitHub issue: https://github.com/mtekk/Breadcrumb-NavXT/issues/234
Hi John,
great, thanks for checking it out!
