Absolutely essential.

I fully support this requirement, for which there is no sensible or feasible workround.

Content management should be separate from design management to prevent the inevitable mess, especially in small businesses where people have multiple roles - and tend to fiddle.

I have recently started to use Wordpress as my main building tool for customer websites, migrating from an older system, and this issue alone is without doubt the most frustrating.

In fact early today I posted a feature suggestion on the forum saying about the same as this post. That was before I stumbled across this post

I agree that this is a good idea.
My clients do not have access to widgets, themes or plugins to keep things simple and to prevent them breaking the site.

But it would be handy if they could change the text in textwidgets etc.

This would be so useful. It's embarrassing that the function doesn't exist already!

Adding as many stars as I can for this one.
I would love to see edit_menus & edit_widgets separate from the edit_theme_options capability and become individual capabilities.
Menus are really more content related - why let people add pages if they can't add the links for those pages to the site navigation? Not giving clients access to menus is a problem, but giving them access to site design options can sometimes be a bigger problem. And widget control is great for some clients, but not all of them.

Hey All,

Make sure you actually rate this idea if you think it's good. I don't know how much the core team looks at rating, but if we want this implemented (unfortunately for me, writing the patch is currently beyond my skillset), it can't hurt to have more stars.

If you rate it, then YOU are the star!!!!!!
