# Posts admin menu removed

 * Hello,
 * I need to assign to a user the roles “Instructor” + “Editor”. For this I use 
   the plugin “Members”. When the user have these 2 roles, in his back-end menu 
   the “Posts” item disappears. He still has the edit post capability because he
   can access to the post page (direct access to /wp-admin/edit.php). Just the menu
   item disappears. When I remove the “Instructor” role, then the “Posts” menu item
   appears again.
 * I first thought this may come from the Members plugin but according to the author
   it doesn’t.
 * When I search for the code `remove_menu_page` in all the plugins it appears only
   inside LifterLMS, file `\lifterlms\includes\admin\class.llms.admin.menus.php`
   line 299.
 * How to fix this?
 * Thank you!

 * Hi [@omahoung](https://wordpress.org/support/users/omahoung/)
 * Thanks for reaching out!
 * The best way to address this will be to use a Role Capability editor to allow
   Instructors to see posts.
 * We have more information in our documentation on this here: [https://lifterlms.com/docs/roles-and-capabilities/#customizing](https://lifterlms.com/docs/roles-and-capabilities/#customizing)
 * Let us know if you have any further questions!

 * Thanks for the answer.
 * I am already using a role capability editor plugin, it is called “Members”. With
   this plugin I have assigned 2 roles to a specific user: Instructor + Editor. 
   As this instructor is also an Editor he should see the “Posts” item in the admin
   menu.
 * I can’t edit the LifterLMS Instructor role to add some Capabilities because only
   1 instructor needs the additional capabilities.

 * Hi [@omahoung](https://wordpress.org/support/users/omahoung/)
 * Thank you for clarifying!
 * Does the role editor you’re using allow you to create new roles based on existing
   roles?
 * If so, the best solution then would be to create a new role for the one user 
   that gives them the needed customized permissions to access the posts as well
   as all the Instructor capabilities.
 * If this “Members” plugin does not allow that we are happy to make a recommendation!
   Just let us know.
 * Let us know if you have any further questions!

 * Oh yes, I didn’t think about that, I can try, even if I would prefer that an 
   Instructor could have multiple roles assigned. I actually wrote some code to 
   add the menu item in case it doesn’t show, it works fine, so maybe I will keep
   this code and I will not have to create an additional role.
    Thanks for the suggestion.
