I was looking at the wrong diff on that ticket, thanks for pointing me in the right direction Justin, got it working perfectly now!

If you look at that entire ticket, you’ll see that they rolled the option_page_capability_* hook into 3.2 as a fix for this problem. You can see an example of it in action in the TwentyEleven theme.

I’m trying to add custom capabilities to a plugin of mine to change the capability that gives access to the plugin options page and I ran into a couple of issues. First it doesn’t look like the “members_plugin_init” function exists in version 0.2 of the Members plugin? I checked for the “members_get_capabilities” function instead and that worked for me.

The other bigger issue was that even though I can give any role with the custom capability access to the options page, they can’t actually make any changes to the options unless they also have the “manage_options” capability.

From this ticket it looks like this is a known issue. Do you know of another way to do this, or was this meant to be more of a proof of concept then a functioning example?

Very superb! If only features like these could be added to the core of wordpress by awesome designers like you!

I plan on having a lot of members. I am wondering what each role permission does specifically. I really appreciate the plugin and I think it is very useful so far. I know what most of the role permissions do but some of the AOC_ permissions are unclear to me. Also, I just added a new member and he is not showing up on my public members list(siege community) but the one I added before has shown up. Thanks in advance for your help and please keep up the exceptional work.

Hi Justin, I am a newbie programming and I was wondering if you can help me or tell me how much would you charge. I need to create a role that has access only to some plugins.

Thanks for your time

Just wanted to thank you for this plugin. I am just sorry I am not a professional developer, and that other developers don’t follow what you suggest here, so that I could take more advantage of your plugin and have more flexibility. But still this has helped me in my blog a lot.

Hi, I am just starting in this plugins development and I am getting a little desperate. So if anyone here knows how to add to the Members plugin the capability to choose an admin to be able only to change some of the plugins that are installed on the theme, please let me know and how much will it cost.

For example I want one of the admins to be able to manage the options of three different plugins but not all the plugins that I have installed.
