User roles. Allowing "Editors" to access the plugin

I was wondering if there is a way to allow "Editors" to access the Royalslider plugin in Wordpress. As of now only "Administrators" can access the plugin. We have multiple users for our site with varying degrees of dashboard access and would like "Editors" to be able to make changes to the slideshows. Any suggestions? Thanks!

   Hello,

   There is an option for this in RoyalSlider global settings.

   Ah, so I realize this is a feature in the new version of Royal Slider. I am still using the old version of RS. I can't transition to the new version immediately due to the amount content we have in the old version of RS and because content can be retained when upgrading. Sorry I didn't specify this. This is partly the reason I wanted editors to have access to both version of RS so they can make these updates. I didn't know if there was any way to change access in the old version.

   Thanks,
   Jesse

   Go to RoyalSliderAdmin.php and replace all strings manage_options to edit_posts.

   Hi Dmitry,

   Not sure if it's better to open up a new ticket or to reply to this one but you mentioned:
   "There is an option for this in RoyalSlider global settings."

   I'm not seeing this, am I missing something?

   Thanks,
   Brooke

   Hi,

   Please take a look at attachment. If you see something different on your side, then you probably should update the plugin.

   Dmitry see it now thanks!

   Have you thought about going to a capability (role) based system? This would allow for custom roles and allow for more flexability. Something like gravity forms.

   Ideally it would be great to be able to set roles for "manage_slide" "edit_slides" "delete_slide" or whatnot.

   Or easy just two roles instead of "manage options" maybe "manage slides" and "edit slide settings" The would allow me to let certian users and roles edit slides without other options.

   Hi
   Is there an option to allow new user role (other than editor) to edit the slides?
   I have a user role that needs permission to edit specific post_type and its slides.
   Thanks
   Rani

    @Rani, unfortunately, there is no such option. Consider overriding default WordPress [gallery] with the RoyalSlider, this way editors won't have to visit slider admin page at all http://help.dimsemenov.com/kb/wordpress-royalslider-tutorials/wp-cr...
