Hi RSP,

Thanks for that BUT there seems to be a problem….i made the changes as you mentioned above and so my code is now like this (below)…But this is causing syntax errors and displays the white page when trying to update the functions.php file. SO i used DW to try and see if i can see where the problem is but i cant seem to figure out what it is..

Can you help with this??

//functions hooking to their actions
add_action('admin_init','mod_cap');
add_action('admin_init','display_notice');
add_action('admin_menu','mod_umenu');
add_action('admin_menu','admin_redirect');
add_action('admin_head','hide_button');

//user roles without the subscriber. however, can be added
function modify_cap() {
$author_role = get_role('author');
$author_role -> remove_cap('publish_post');
$editor_role = get_role('editor');
$editor_role->remove_cap('publish_post');
$contributor_role = get_role('contributor');
$contributor_role -> remove_cap('publish_post');
}

//unsetting the menu item and changing capability
function mod_umenu() {
  global $submenu;
  unset($submenu['edit.php'][10]);
  $submenu['edit.php'][10][1] = 'publish_posts';
}

//hiding the button
function hide_buttons() {
  global $current_screen;
if($current_screen->id == 'edit-post' && !current_user_can('publish_posts'))
}

function admin_redirect() {
  $result = stripos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'post-new.php');
  if ($result!==false && !current_user_can('publish_posts')) {
}

function permissions_admin_notice() {
  echo "<div id='permissions-warning' class='error fade'><p><strong>".__('You do not have permission to access that page.')."</strong></p></div>";
}

function display_notice() {
  if($_GET['permissions_error'])
  {
    add_action('admin_notices', 'permissions_admin_notice');
  }
}

Hi esmi, rspublishing,

Thanks for the replies! I have s2 member installed and the default role for my users is s2 level 1! I have it now set so that they can actually view their post and delete them (but not others, only their own), the only problem im having is that on the “post->all post” page there is a button called add new, and i thought the best way to do this rather than just hide it would be to restrict access to the page.

Hope this is a better explanation, thanks for the help AND if you can help me with this it will be very much appreciated.

Yeah true true….but i also removed capabilities (thanks to you)from any other user (just incase)and so as you said above it wont let them publish pages…and you were right the button does still appear..

So its all good, but thanks again Mitchell for all your help

Hi Mitchell,

Ok im done….ive installed this plugin now, but how do i do it so that it just removes the add new pages button…i still want the client to see and edit his pages that are already there…

Cheers for the help.

Hi Mitchell,

Thanks for your reply……i need to delete the button, its not a member site, just a standard website that the client dosnt need to include anymore pages and would so want it removed.

Can you help, im still searching but i cant find anywhere with instructions on how to remove it…im sure its something simple and maybe somethin i missed along the way.

Cheers again for the help….ps, the member plugin has been downloaded,thanks for that, will come in handy.

Hi Ipstenu…
I tried another theme but it didnt work, cause me a few problems to, which i managed to solve…

Ok heres where im upto, the latest news page is now where my post are appearing, but if i change the settings within “settings” reading settings” to show the homeage and then the post pages as the “news” page, the news page then starts re-driecting to the home page.
????

Cheers again for the help.
