    Hey David,

    The widgets are displayed to roles with the manage_downloads capability. You could custom code adding this capability to the editor role. More info: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_cap

    Or use a capability manager plugin like: https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/

    Kind Regards,

    Thanks Barry,

    Appreciate the reply & I didn’t know WP had a possibility to customise roles & capabilities.

    I installed the user role editor plugin and have achieved what I wanted 🙂

    BTW, the names of the custom capabilities exposed are
    user_can_add_new_download
    user_can_config_downloads
    user_can_edit_downloads
    user_can_view_downloads_log

    I didn’t find the manage_downloads capability you referred to.

    Again, many thanks for the support.

    Cheers, David.
