   Hi,

   I like to tweak a plugin to be accessable by editors, now it's only accessable by is_admin().
   How do i check if a user is an editor???

   regards,

   is_admin doesn't determine if a user is an admin, it determines if the currently page is in the administration area..

   If you want to determine what role a user has you need to look the current user object or check against what capabilities that user has..

   Apparently this works for the role to..

   Tx Mark,

   I realize now, and i have read the part about capabilities and use that. Just by
   add_object_page ('ProudThemes » Theme Options', 'Slider fotos', 'edit_posts', 'proud_home', 'proud_page_gen', 'http://www.proudthemes.com/favicon.png');

   so if the user can edit posts he/she is also able to change this theme options

   Tx

   Only users that are Editors and Admins can edit_pages, that might be a more suitable cap to use..

   Posts can also be modified by Authors and Contributors.

   :)
