Hi Wahidaus,

Could you be more exact, please, what you wish to achieve? What menu item(s) do you wish to hide/show to the users?
Is ‘Photos’ a custom post type or this submenu is added by some active image gallery plugin? What plugin do you use in that case?

Hi Vladimir,

Thanks for this nice plugin. I have got a question on “Adding a new capability”.

I would like to add up a part from my theme for others to see it. If I enable Manage options then it brings up that part but then all others options appears with it.

For your better understanding I have added the screenshot from the WP CMS.

I would appreciate if you could help.

You need to use MySQL access to your blog. Extract roles from your blog according this post recomendation. Extract roles from fresh test WordPress installation. Compare Administrator role capabilities. Replace your blog administrator role with one from test installation. That should help.

I was changing a few options on the User’s rolls and I decided to reset all the options. I’m the admin of my blog and now I can’t check my wordpress updates, nor do i have permission to access “wp-admin/widgets.php”
is there a fix??

Give me more details please about your purpose. From where do you wish to exclude users with higher roles? Is it standard WordPress users list at admin menu?
We know what role is higher from built-in WordPress roles, but how to sort (higher/lower) custom created roles if you have such at your blog?
Generally it is a programming task. It’s not enough just to add new capability.
