Hi there

Presumably somebody should be able to see the buttons to add/edit/delete posts of this type, or it would be impossible to create any posts in the first place.

I'm assuming that you want administrators to be able to add/delete posts, but no-one else.

In which case you could use the following code to modify the settings for the post type in question.

Note that you cannot add this code to Toolset > Settings > Custom Code, you need to add it to your theme's functions.php file.

You will need to edit it to specify the slug of the custom post type ("thing" in my example):

/**
 * Remove Add New and Trash/Delete capabilities
 */
function tssupp_re_register($args, $type) {

	if ( $type == 'thing' ) {

		$args['capabilities'] = array(
			'create_posts' => 'administrator',
			'delete_post' => 'administrator',
			'delete_posts' => 'administrator',
			'delete_others_posts' => 'administrator',
			'delete_private_posts' => 'administrator',
			'delete_published_posts' => 'administrator',
		);
		$args['map_meta_cap'] = true;

	}
	return $args;
}
add_filter('register_post_type_args', 'tssupp_re_register', 20, 2);

Hi Nigel,

I use the code add to functions.php file ,but the delete/trash capabilities can not remove.

(The code only removes the add new capabilities ,then the Add button still show the right admin screen. I do not want to let my customer see the Add new button and Trash/Delete link.)

hidden link

Thank you.

/**
 * Remove Add New and Trash/Delete capabilities
 */
function tssupp_re_register($args, $type) {
 
    if ( $type == 'slide-mant' ) {
 
        $args['capabilities'] = array(
            'create_posts' => 'partner',
            'delete_post' => 'partner',
            'delete_posts' => 'partner',
            'delete_others_posts' => 'partner',
            'delete_private_posts' => 'partner',
            'delete_published_posts' => 'partner',
        );
        $args['map_meta_cap'] = true;
 
    }
    return $args;
}
add_filter('register_post_type_args', 'tssupp_re_register', 20, 2);

To clarify, where in my code I had "administrator" that was the role that should still be able to see the Add New buttons and trash links, all other roles will not see them.

So where you have changed the code to use 'partner', that means that the only role that should see the Add New buttons and trash links is the partner role, and they should be hidden for everyone else.

In my test site it works just how I expect. The administrator can see the links, but other roles cannot.
