edit_theme_options capability for WordPress user

edit-theme-options user capability
‘edit_theme_options’ capability seems to be self-explained. It’s primary purpose is to provide access to WordPress front-end theme options changing.
On practice, if you have ‘edit_theme_options’ capability, then you have access to the ‘Appearance’ menu at WordPress admin back-end and to its menu items: “Themes” (select a theme for your WordPress front-end) and “Menus” (edit menus supported by your selected theme). Customize theme header image, background color, etc. section and ‘Widgets’ menu items require ‘edit_theme_options’ capability also.
How it is realized? How often and at what places WordPress uses/checks this user capability – ‘edit_theme_options’ in order to decide give current user permission to edit theme options or prohibit access to such functionality? Let’s check this together. We will make a quick look into WordPress version 3.4.2 core source code and comment its related fragments.

update_core user capability
update_core capability is used to decide, if user can update core WordPress file using built-in WordPress upgrade feature or not. What do you think?
Thoughts are just thoughts, while they are not confirmed by practice and strong experiment. Thus, I decided to check this obviouse guess, satisfy my curiosity and investigate, how and for what purpose WordPress uses update_core capability really. Result of my little investigation will be shown to you below.

You are the only boss for your WordPress network
But you are not glad. You are not happy. What the reason? You are angry on all those new blogs owners. They do, what they want. They change, what they wish. They should make good posts only! Why all of them are administrators of their blogs? The Administrator should be only one – You. Only One will Win – You! The biggest thing, what you may allow to your WordPress managed network blogs owners – be the editors on their blogs.
That’s a joke, of course. But some time, somewhere… What to do, if text above describes your situation somehow? Don’t worry, try “Win Only One” WordPress plugin. Just setup and activate for Network. It will help you transparently. Your problem will be resolved in the full silence.

User Role Editor version 3.7 is published

User Role Editor
User Role Editor WordPress plugin version 3.7 is published at June 23rd, 2012. What’s new?
– ‘Select All’, ‘Unselect All’, ‘Inverse’ buttons were added to the from for more convenient capabilities management while role editing.
– Role and capability name could be started from digit, and underscore ‘_’ character. Hyphen ‘-‘ character could be included into such name too.
– Old versions used ‘edit_users’ capability to check if show/hide ‘User Role Editor’ menu item under ‘Users’ menu. Starting from version 3.7 ‘administrator’ role is checked. Existed inconsistency, when non-admin user with ‘edit_users’ capability saws ‘User Role Editor’ menu, but got ‘Only Administrator is allowed to use User Role Editor’ error message, was removed.
– Bug fix: if you work with WordPress admin via https, URE will use https instead of http, as it made in older versions.
As new text was added to plugin main form, translations for all languages wait for updates. Former and new translators are welcome!

Capabilities set for Custom Post Type
Sunday, June 10th, 2012
custom post type capabilities
Yes. Custom post type may have custom capabilities set defined and it could be fully different from the standard post capabilities set.
What variants do you have?
1st, – use plugin which can manage not just custom post types, but custom capabilities set for those custom post types too. Good example is Custom Post Types UI WordPress plugin. I used it myself long time at my personal Russian language site FiNovel.com. Inspite of little quant of “Works” reviews at WordPress plugins repository page, I confirm – it works.
