Hi,

I need to hide the Template Layout box for non Admin.
When doing so using regular WP Screen options the template layout box is always visible. Is totally useless information for an author or editor and is not translated

Is that the supposed behavior? or am I missing somethinh

Thanks

The same for Types and Access short codes, Content Layout Editor is not even something that an Author can use, they are not allowed by default within the plugin
Can I get ride of them for non Admin users?

Thanks

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - to remove Toolset buttons you need to add following code to your current theme's functions.php file:

function func_remove_unwanted_toolset_buttons(){
 
    // only remove buttons on back end for non-administrators
    if ( is_admin() && !current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) {
 
        // remove the Fields and Views button
        add_filter( 'toolset_editor_add_form_buttons', '__return_false' );
    
        // remove the CRED button
        add_filter( 'toolset_cred_button_before_print', '__return_false' );

      
    
        // remove the Access button for all roles 
        add_filter( 'toolset_editor_add_access_button', function(){
 
            global $wp_roles;
            $all_roles = array_keys($wp_roles->roles);
  
            return $all_roles;
        } );


    }
}
add_action( 'init', 'func_remove_unwanted_toolset_buttons' );

To hide "Content Layout Editor" button:

1) add following code to your current theme's functions.php file:

add_action( 'admin_init', 'my_admin_init' );
function my_admin_init() {
if(!current_user_can('manage_links')) {
   
 
      wp_enqueue_style( 'myStylesheet', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/myStylesheet.css' );
}
}

2) create a css file "rm-content-layout-editor.css", put it in your theme root folder.with following code:

div.wp-media-buttons a.js-layout-private-add-new-top
{
display:none !important;
}

To remove Template Layout box for non Admin.

add_action( 'admin_head', 'wpv_custom_admin_head', 20);
function wpv_custom_admin_head() {


    remove_meta_box( 'wpddl_template', array("your-post-type-slug"), 'side' ); // replace book with your CPT slug

}

Where:
Replace "your-post-type-slug" with your post type slug for which you want to hide the "Template Layout" box.
