    Hello,
    normally i don´t want to copy&paste the translations into the plugin, if my editors can do it on the fly.

    I would like to know how i can change the admin capability to the ‘edit pages’ capability. I can see at your @todo 

    if( current_user_can(Loco::CAPABILITY) ){
                // @todo font end functionality

    that you thought about this already.

    I´m glad for any help 🙂

    As you can probably see, the manage_options capability is required because altering files on disk within themes and plugins is a privileged operation that I thought should be reserved for admins.

    I’ll have to add a filter for you to override this to use a lower privilege like edit_posts. I can put this on my todo list, but can’t guarantee a timeline for implementing.

    In the mean time I think your only option is top hack the plugin code. The line is here:

    There’s no need to modify the core files. Just use filter:

    Add the following code to your functions.php

    function mytheme_change_loco_admin_capability()
{
    return 'edit_posts';
}
add_filter('loco_admin_capability', 'mytheme_change_loco_admin_capability');
