How do I restrict user to specific content type?

    We are trying to use this plugin to isolate a user’s ability to edit Events only, from the Modern Events Calendar plugin.

    But I can still edit Contact forms, and see WP Bakery settings, as well as ‘Tools’.
    Can you help?

    I’ve setup a user role called Member, and taken the Author as a starting point.

    The most probable reason, ‘Events’ plugin define its custom post type with default ‘post’ capability and thus uses the same ‘edit_posts’ capability for menu items, like many others.

    Oh – so you cannot restrict it to the varied post types, such as Events, and filter out ‘Contact forms’?

    Pity really, since most websites won’t want “anyone” to access their Contact Forms, but they will want them to be able to edit and add “Events”.
