all about custom posts types and how to create post types, custom taxonomies, and display them by hacking your WordPress theme

Building your own wordpress themes will open your eyes to a lot of things, mainly the fact that you'll be retyping a lot of code over and over and over again. So in this post I am going to show you ten wordpress code hacks that you can add to your arsenal that will not only save you a lot of time, but they will also set your themes apart from others who don't come pre built with these types of features.

"The edit_theme_options capability should allow the user to edit the sidebar as described on this page : http://codex.wordpress.org/Appearance_Widgets_SubPanel Code to add to functions.php $role = get_role('editor'); $role->add_cap('edit_theme_options'); Edit: This should work to prevent editor accessing themes or menus function custom_admin_menu() { $user = new WP_User(get_current_user_id()); if (!empty( $user->roles) && is_array($user->roles)) { foreach ($user->roles as $role) $role = $role; } if($role == "editor") { remove_submenu_page( 'themes.php', 'themes.php' ); remove_submenu_page( 'themes.php', 'nav-menus.php' ); } } add_action('admin_menu', 'custom_admin_menu'); I haven't had chance to test this, but it only removes them from the menu they may still be able to access them by typing in the URL directly."
