I've been using your plugin for sometime on my own site, but I've just built a site for someone and I'm using adminimize to hide certain things from another user of the the site with the 'editor' title. Adminimize allows me to hide everything that I need to from the editor, whilst remaining viewable to myself (admin)... however, I cannot hide 'Contact'- the contact form 7 settings.
I'm guessing that it's because 'contact' appears in its very own menu item in the admin panel, instead of being under the 'settings' options.
How do I relocate it to there?
Thanks

I have looked and tried that, but it doesnt work- editors can still access it.
Hi, i use the plugin adminimize to manage access/visibility over my complete backend. It works fine for me with contact-form as well.. hope that will help
I also use Adminimize, but For some reason Contact Form 7 doesn't appear in the list.
However, the code given here: http://contactform7.com/2009/11/18/restricting-access-to-the-administration-panel-2/
..Did actually work. It seems I had to move it closer to the top of the file (wp-config.php).
Anyway cheers for the help guys.
Where in wp-config.php did you put them? It's not working for me. Thanks.
Oh, but I'm not using Adminimize - I wonder if that matters.
I suppose the positioning of where you add the code depends what other stuff you have in that file (wp-config.php). I for one, have a fair bit of custom stuff in there. Just have a play around, positioning it in different places- trial & error.
Did you keep the lines of code together, or split them up, Jeffrey?
Thanks,
Kim
keep it together. Below I'll post a snippet of the code from my wp-config file to give you an idea of where it should go...
/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
/** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */
define('DB_COLLATE', '');
/** Allow only admins to see contact form 7 settings in admin panel */
define( 'WPCF7_ADMIN_READ_CAPABILITY', 'manage_options' );
define( 'WPCF7_ADMIN_READ_WRITE_CAPABILITY', 'manage_options' );
/**#@+
* Authentication Unique Keys and Salts.
That worked, Jeffrey! Thank you very much, and I'm glad this extra detail is here for posterity. :)
No problem, glad you got it working :)
Hello, why not just adding a few lines of code in the function.php file rather than the wp-config.php :
function remove_contact_menu () {
global $menu;
$restricted = array(__('Contact'));
end ($menu);
while (prev($menu)){
$value = explode(' ',$menu[key($menu)][0]);
if(in_array($value[0] != NULL?$value[0]:"" , $restricted)){unset($menu[key($menu)]);}
}
}
add_action('admin_menu', 'remove_contact_menu');
if(!current_user_can('level_10')) {
add_action('admin_menu', 'remove_contact_menu');
}
It works great!

Hi graphys you're right, it would be better to edit the functions.php file rather than wp-config.php but the code you posted above doesn't work for me: editors can still see the Contact Form settings.
