Add “edit_theme_options” capability to the “editor” role:
1) Open “Users->User Role Editor”, select “Editor” role.
2) Turn ON checkbox for the “edit_theme_options” capability, click “Update”.

After that user with “Editor” role will receive access to the full “Appearance” menu, as all its submenu items are protected by the same “edit_theme_options” capability.
If you wish to allow to the ‘editor’ role to work just with “Menu” and “Widgets” items of the “Appearance” menu, you need to block other items with “Admin Menu Access” add-on.

I will publish stable Pro version 4.28.2 tomorrow.

Currently I can not recommend another workaround then that you use already.
But it’s a good point to extend User Role Editor Pro functionality. I will think on it. May be something similar to the “force custom taxonomies to use own capabilities” option will be possible to add. I will post here as I will find a decision.

Hi,

Try this recipe:

add_action('admin_init', 'remove_product_editor');
function remove_product_editor() {

  if (current_user_can('product-meta-editor')) {
    remove_post_type_support('product', 'editor');
  }
  
}

Replace role ID ‘product-meta-editor’ with your own as ‘sales-manager’. Add this code to the active theme functions.php file or setup it as a must use plugin.

Hi Urs,

Thanks for your help in finding this.
“Admin menu access” add-on works with this rule: if something is not directly allowed – it’s prohibited. I extended the list of allowed arguments for the ‘edit.php’ command to fix the issues your noted. Try development version 4.28.2.b8. It’s available after login from the download page as always.

You have to call current_user_can() for every role you wish to check, e.g.:

if (current_user_can('role_1') || current_user_can('role_2')) {
  ...
}

This means “if current user have role_1 or current user have role_2”.

For our code:

if (!current_user_can('sales') && !current_user_can('shipping')) {
    return;
}

That is ‘do not execute code below if user does not have role ‘sales’ and user does not have role ‘shipping’.

Thanks for the clarification. I missed ‘Order status’ field yesterday. Try this version. It removes dropdown list of statuses if order was refunded already and just shows “Refunded” text and removes ‘Refunded’ item from the dropdown list options in other cases:

add_action('admin_head', 'hide_wc_refund_button');

function hide_wc_refund_button() {

    global $post;

    if (!current_user_can('sales')) {
        return;
    }
    if (strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'post.php?post=') === false) {
        return;
    }

    if (empty($post) || $post->post_type != 'shop_order') {
        return;
    }
?>
    <script>
      jQuery(function () {
            jQuery('.refund-items').hide();
            jQuery('.order_actions option[value=send_email_customer_refunded_order]').remove();
            if (jQuery('#original_post_status').val()=='wc-refunded') {
                jQuery('#s2id_order_status').html('Refunded');
            } else {
                jQuery('#order_status option[value=wc-refunded]').remove();
            }
        });
    </script>
    <?php

}

Try this updated version:

add_action('admin_head', 'hide_wc_refund_button');

function hide_wc_refund_button() {

    global $post;

    if (!current_user_can('sales')) {
        return;
    }
    if (strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'post.php?post=') === false) {
        return;
    }

    if (empty($post) || $post->post_type != 'shop_order') {
        return;
    }
?>
    <script>
      jQuery(function () {
            jQuery('.refund-items').hide();
            jQuery('.order_actions option[value=send_email_customer_refunded_order]').remove();
        });
    </script>
    <?php

}

Hi,

The only way to hide “Refunds” button from order edit form is to change HTML page CSS via JavaScript. Add code below to the active theme functions.php file or setup it as a must-use plugin. It is executed for the ‘orders-manager’ role only. Replace it with you own role ID.

add_action('admin_head', 'hide_wc_refund_button');

function hide_wc_refund_button() {

    global $post;

    if (!current_user_can('orders-manager')) {
        return;
    }
    if (strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'post.php?post=') === false) {
        return;
    }

    if (empty($post) || $post->post_type != 'shop_order') {
        return;
    }
?>
    <script>
      jQuery().ready(function () {
            jQuery('.refund-items').hide();
        });
    </script>
    <?php

}

Hi,

Yes, it’s possible. Input ‘Authors user ID’ list for the teacher instead of posts ID list. Use “with author user ID (comma separated)” field for that.

[Vladimir]

Hi,

Thanks for letting me know.

[Vladimir]

Hi,
It could be suitable for admin to manage it this way. Thanks for the right direction.

[Vladimir]

Hi,

I have a recipe how to make it as an additional option to the role. It’s possible to convert the functional part to the must-use plugin for any subsite of your network.

[Vladimir]

Hi,

Check the browser JavaScript console for the error messages.

[Vladimir]

If you wish to have more control it’s possible to integrate this code snippet with User Role Editor as the additional options for role:

add_filter('ure_role_additional_options', 'add_visual_editor_only_option', 10, 1);
function add_visual_editor_only_option() {
    $item = URE_Role_Additional_Options::create_item('visual_editor_only', esc_html__('Visual Editor Only', 'user-role-editor'), 'admin_init', 'ure_remove_text_editor');
    $items[$item->id] = $item;
    
    return $items;
}

function ure_remove_text_editor() {
  add_filter('wp_editor_settings', 'ure_editor_settings');
  add_filter( 'wp_default_editor', create_function('', 'return "tinymce";') );
}

function ure_editor_settings($settings) {
  if (!current_user_can('administrator')) {
    $settings['quicktags'] = false;
  }
  
  return $settings;
}
