Please tell me how, in the example from the plugin documentation, to allow access to logs on the frontend for roles other than administrator. I tried using the simple_history\/view_history_capability<\/code> filter – it doesn’t work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong? In the page template, I call the simple_history_user_action_output($paged)<\/code> function and get zero entries, although they actually exist if you give the user the administrator role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

add_filter( 'simple_history\/view_history_capability', function( $capability ) {
$capability = 'view_fileinput'; 
return $capability;
} );

function simple_history_user_action_output($paged) {
$log_query = new \\Simple_History\\Log_Query;
$simple_history = \\Simple_History\\Simple_History::get_instance();

$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$user_id = $current_user -> ID;

$query_results = $log_query->query( [
    'posts_per_page' => 5,
    'user' => $user_id,
    'loggers' => ['SimplePostLogger', 'SimpleUserLogger', 'SimpleLogger'],
    'paged' => $paged
] );

printf(
