Yes, it’s a typo on my part. Role Editor Plugin automatically adds an “s” to the back of all capabilities. (LOL)
1. To rephrase, the custom post type capabilities are
– create_Newss, edit_Newss and all other prefixes (delete, publish, read)
– create_Eventss, edit_Eventss and all other prefixes (delete, publish, read)
2. Nope, Admin Menu Access is not activated.
I have sort of created my outcome by doing the following code below (setting “parent_slug” to null).
This hides the “Add News” and “Add Events” buttons while giving the user the capability to create_Newss and create_Eventss. I don’t understand why, but if I don’t add the 2 buttons below, the user does not have permission to do create_Newss and create_Eventss.
array(
'parent_slug' => 'null', //Don't display on menu
'page_title' => 'Add News',
'menu_title' => 'Add News',
'capability' => 'create_Newss',
'menu_slug' => 'post-new.php?post_type=news',
'function' => null,// Uses the same callback function as parent menu.
),
array(
'parent_slug' => 'null', //Don't display on menu
'page_title' => 'Add Events',
'menu_title' => 'Add Events',
'capability' => 'create_Eventss',
'menu_slug' => 'post-new.php?post_type=events',
'function' => null,// Uses the same callback function as parent menu.
),
