[Plugin: GD Press Tools] Front Page and Environment Info Visible to Logged in Authors (2 posts)

    Hi

    I've just installed GD Press Tools as part of a security upgrade for a new blog and it works brilliantly and I'll happily donate, BUT ... I have one problem which is that both the Front Page and Environment pages of the drop down menu are visible to authors logged into the dashboard on the site. This blog will have multiple authors and for obvious reasons I'm not happy about them being able to see this critical information about the website. Is there any way to remove it from their view so that it's only visible to administrators?

    Thanks in anticipation

    Yes there is. For now it requires modifying a config file:

    1. Copy 'gdpt-config.php' from plugin folder into the 'plugins' folder.
    2. Open copied file and add this anywhere in that file within PHP boundaries:

    define('PRESSTOOLS_ACCESS_LEVEL_FRONT', 10);

    10 is the level, from 1 to 10. 10 is main admin account, it's safe to set it to 9 also, for all admin accounts.

    2.4 version planned for next week will have a settings for this, but for now you can use this.
