    Hello, i’m facing a strange issue in WordPress.

    I have created a custom post type with 

    
"capability_type" => array('my_post','my_posts'),
"map_meta_cap" => true,

    And then create custom role, and add the capabililities this to the role so that user in that role can access the custom post type:

    $role = get_role('my_role');

    // This only works, because it accesses the class instance.
    // would allow the subscriber to edit others' posts for current theme only
    $role->add_cap('read');
    $role->add_cap('read_my_post');
    $role->add_cap('delete_my_post' );
    $role->add_cap('edit_my_posts');
    $role->add_cap('edit_others_my_posts' );
    $role->add_cap('delete_my_posts' );
    $role->add_cap('publish_my_posts' );
    $role->add_cap('read_private_my_posts');
    $role->add_cap('delete_private_my_posts');
    $role->add_cap('delete_published_my_posts' );
    $role->add_cap('delete_others_my_posts' );
    $role->add_cap('edit_private_my_posts' );
    $role->add_cap('edit_published_my_posts' );
    $role->add_cap('edit_my_posts' );

    Now when i logged in a user with the “my_role” role, i can see the post type in WordPress menu, but when i click on it (to open the post list page from where i can edit/delete/add post) it’s showing me “Sorry you are not allowed to access this page”.

    When you register the post type, use the “capabilities” arg to explicitly map each *_post? cap to the equivalent *_my_post? cap. Seems like it shouldn’t be necessary with “capability_type” and “map_mata_cap” args, but I’ve run into the same issue you have and that solved it. For example:

    'capabilities' => array(
	'edit_post' => 'edit_my_post',
	'read_post' => 'read_my_post',
	'delete_post' => 'delete_my_post',
	//etc. for each cap
),

    Are you able to post your post type registration code for review?

    @bcworkz Hello, the issue is fixed. the issue i was using “create_posts” => “do_not_allow” so that user can’t create posts.
    But seems like wordpress do not allow to see the list who don’t have permission to create post.
    i think there should be a option to disable the Add New button (create post option) but still allow user to see the post lists from dashboard.

    Huh, doing that on my test site’s CPT works as we’d expect — user can list, delete, and edit posts, but cannot create any new ones. There are no Add New buttons or links that I could find. If your back end pages are cached you might be seeing stale content with buttons that don’t belong there.

    While mapping “create_posts” to “do_not_allow” should serve the intended purpose, it means giving a “do_not_allow” cap to a user who should be able to create new posts. It strikes me as rather confusing. It’ll do to be more conventional and map to “create_my_posts” and simply not assign that cap to the role.
