   I'm using User Role Editor to edit the capabilities of my Editor. Works great except for one plugin. This code is in the plugin: http://pastebin.com/wdgRYM5C

   I added code in lines 13-17. This plug-in shows on The Appearance menu when I'm logged in as an administrator. But when I log in as my editor the appearance menu is gone and the plugin is not showing. I've tried moving to different areas of the menu with the same result.

   The ot-cycle capability shows in the User Role Editor and is clicked on.

   Any advice would be appreciated.

   Look at line 125 of wp-admin/menu.php
   

   if ( current_user_can( 'switch_themes') ) {
   	$menu[60] = array( __('Appearance'), 'switch_themes', 'themes.php', '', 'menu-top menu-icon-appearance', 'menu-appearance', 'div' );
   		$submenu['themes.php'][5]  = array(__('Themes'), 'switch_themes', 'themes.php');
   		if ( current_theme_supports( 'menus' ) || current_theme_supports( 'widgets' ) )
   			$submenu['themes.php'][10] = array(__('Menus'), 'edit_theme_options', 'nav-menus.php');
   } else {
   	$menu[60] = array( __('Appearance'), 'edit_theme_options', 'themes.php', '', 'menu-top menu-icon-appearance', 'menu-appearance', 'div' );
   		$submenu['themes.php'][5]  = array(__('Themes'), 'edit_theme_options', 'themes.php');
   		if ( current_theme_supports( 'menus' ) || current_theme_supports( 'widgets' ) )
   			$submenu['themes.php'][10] = array(__('Menus'), 'edit_theme_options', 'nav-menus.php' );
   }

   According to it your editor role should have 'switch_themes' or at least 'edit_theme_options' capabilities turned on to see the 'Appearance' menu.
