Yoast SEO file editor access

[globeview]

Hi there,

Admin has access to Yoast > Extra > File editor
Custom role has not while having same rights as administrator:

wpseo_bulk_edit
wpseo_edit_advanced_metadata
wpseo_manage_options

How come the file editor is not visible for the custom role?

Kind regards

Hi,

Yoast SEO checks ‘edit_files’ capability before allow user to work with its ‘File Editor’.

Take into account that any mistake in .htaccess file may lead to site blocking. You need to think twice before allow direct file editing at the live site.

Btw., ‘edit_files’ allows to edit inside WordPress themes and plugins file.

Hi Vladimir,

Actually, all capabilities are available for this custom user.
We block acces via the “Activate Administrator Menu Access module”.

However, I see no edit_files option for any of the users?
How can I activite edit_files?

Kind regards,

[Vladimir]

Turn ON ‘Show deprecated capabilities’ checkbox at the top of URE page to see ‘edit_files’ capability.
