Only Admin sees WP Toolbar

    I have trying to work out why Editors cannot see the toolbar and tried many things (Theme, plugins, cache, Settings, config files, footer files etc.) but failed so far.

    However I just noticed in this plugins Advanced Settings a reference to…
    SWPM admin dashboard is accessible to admin users only (just like any other plugin). You can allow users with other WP user roles to access the SWPM admin dashboard by selecting a value here. Note that this option cannot work if you enabled the “Disable Access to WP Dashboard” option in General Settings.

    This seems to imply there is an option under General Settings to limit the toolbar just to Admins. I cannot find this particular option under General Settings but wondered whether it was selected by us some years ago and the option has been removed but the function is still present?

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    That feature has now been moved to the Advanced Settings tab. If you look further down you will see “Disable Access to WP Dashboard” option under Advanced Settings tab.

    I will let the developers know that the wording needs to be amended for the recent relocation of the feature in question.

    Also the following documentation can help you make changes to admin access.

    Let me know if this helps you.

    Kind regards.

    Thanks for the advice re that menu location and the link to the additional option.

    I want to give Editors access to the Dashboard to edit content but not see the member list. Also no one but Admins and Editors should see the Dashboard. Is that possible?

    Unfortunately at present our plugin does not have that feature available. You might need to use a third party plugin to achieve that, if one is available.

    Kind regards.

    Thank you for the reply. We will look to see if we can find one, or see if we can code something. The problem relates to confidentiality of member details so I would suggest you look at adding such a feature.

    Out of curiosity, do you also have the following feature Disable Access to WP Dashboard enabled?

    Regards.

    We do at the moment but plan to remove that and find a way to allow 2 new members have editing permission for content but not member list. Also not permit general members to see the dashboard.

    I believe we can do this either with some extra code or a plugin but it seems the Membership Plugin would still appear to those with Editor rights which we need to prevent.

    I have submitted a message to the developers to investigate further your request.

    Kind regards.

    Is this likely to be taken up? I had coded something but it didn’t quite work as expected so before I try to fix it I am interested to know.

    We won’t be able to add this feature to the plugin in the near future. The best approach would be to customize it for your site so it only affects your setup. If you need it, we’re happy to add any filter or action hook(s) that would help.

    The following lines of code handle the rendering of the plugin’s main menu, which you can customize as needed:

    https://github.com/wp-insider/simple-membership/blob/14bb5a7d807ee8e3c6ede62d715e27eb71b870cd/simple-membership/classes/class.simple-wp-membership.php#L1062-L1072

    We’re generally very open to adding new action or filter hooks to improve flexibility. If you have a specific suggestion, please point out the exact file and line number where you think a hook would be useful. Alternatively, you’re welcome to submit a pull request with your proposed hook to our GitHub repository.
