Twitter Ultimate not removed from Admin / Settings

[markogne]

So far everything has worked well… except Twitter Ultimate insists on showing in the settings menu. Everything but this one item has been remove just fine. How do I remove this last item?

Thank you!

Hi Mark,

Do you try to hide its menu item with “Admin menu access” add-on?

I need access to the Twitter Ultimate copy in order to test it. You can share its .zip via DropBox or GoogleDrive with support [at-sign] role-editor.com
I install such products locally and use for the testing/investigation purpose only.

Done… just sent you the email.

Thank you!

TU plugin uses 1 instead of a real user capability when adds its menu item to the “Settings” menu (twitter_ultimate.php:15):

add_options_page ( "Twitter Ultimate", "Twitter Ultimate", 1, "twitterultimate", "twitterultimate_settings" );

I can just suppose that this plugin is quite older and uses the deprecated user level 1.

So this menu item is available to any user with the deprecated ‘level_1’ capability.

Solution 1st: edit ‘twitter_ultimate.php’ file and replace 1 with ‘manage_options’ or other user capability on your choice.

Another solution – revoke level_1 deprecated capability from a role for which you wish to prohibit access to this menu item. User with such role can disappear from the list of authors at the post editor page though (more information).
