quick edit and permalink disable for role

[digitaliway]

I have a role for people to edit pages, but I do not want them to edit the slug/permalink or do a quick edit. how can I prevent this?

Answers on your questions are available here:

Block permalink edit button

This did not work. can you please provide specific code or update plugin to have capability?

I have a role called: page-editor

I added this exact code to the functions file and QUICKEDIT and PERMALINK EDIT still remain.

if (current_user_can(‘page-editor’)) {
add_filter(‘post_row_actions’,’remove_quick_edit’,10,1);
}
function remove_quick_edit( $actions ) {

unset($actions[‘inline hide-if-no-js’]);

return $actions;
}

This code is still actual to remove ‘Quick Edit’ link under a post line at the posts list. I re-tested it with theme 2017 functions.php, I just used the ‘editor’ role instead yours:

if (current_user_can('editor')) {
    add_filter('post_row_actions','remove_quick_edit',10,1);
}
function remove_quick_edit( $actions ) {
    
    unset($actions['inline hide-if-no-js']);
    
    return $actions;    
}

Check if you inserted code to the active theme’s functions.php, if your test user really has ‘page-editor’ role.

I’m ready to look at your site on-line if you send URL and admin login credentials to support [at-sign] role-editor.com

I was able to get this working with the below code. The code you posted does not contain “page_row_actions” and the code on https://www.role-editor.com/block-permalink-edit-button/ does not seem to work so I changed it to the filter “get_sample_permalink_html” below which seems more efficient unless you see a better solution?

//remove quick edit functions for page and post
function remove_quick_edit( $actions ) {
    unset($actions['inline hide-if-no-js']);
    return $actions;
}
if ( current_user_can('page-editor') ) {
    add_filter('page_row_actions','remove_quick_edit',10,1);
    add_filter('post_row_actions','remove_quick_edit',10,1);
}

//hide permalink edit buton on page for role
function hide_permalink() {
    return '';
}

if ( current_user_can('page-editor') ) {
	add_filter( 'get_sample_permalink_html', 'hide_permalink' );
}

Yes, I did not tested with pages somehow :), just with posts. Thank You for the update.

Hi, when applying this in a mu-plugins I got a nice Fata error :

`Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function wp_get_current_user() in /wp-includes/capabilities.php:590

any idea on how to fix ?
Thank’s
JB

Hi,

You should not call current_user_can() directly from mu-plugin code. You have to enclose it into some function hooked to the action when WordPress will load it’s core code already, like this:

add_action('admin_init', 'load_mu_plugin');
function load_mu_plugin() {
  if ( current_user_can('page-editor') ) {
      add_filter('page_row_actions','remove_quick_edit',10,1);
      add_filter('post_row_actions','remove_quick_edit',10,1);
  }

}

It’s better to use current_user_can() for checking if capability was granted to a user or it was not. To check if user has role it’s more correct to use this code:

$user = wp_get_current_user();
if (in_array('some_role_id', $user->roles)) {
  // do something
}

well great, and what about hiding the Move to trash for the Publish Metabox on the edit post page ?

[Vladimir]

Revoke ‘delete_posts’, ‘delete_publish_posts’ capabilities from this role.
