How To Remove The “Delete” Theme Option In Dashboard

Question

How do I remove the option to "delete" a theme in the admin dashboard? I built a site for clients with several themes they can choose from and i don't want them to accidentally delete a theme. Thanks!

Answer 1

You need to remove the delete_themes capability from those users.

The easiest way would be to create a custom user role, based on the "Administrator" role, but omitting relevant caps, such as delete_themes.

Answer 2

Here are a few plugins to remove delete_themes capability from users.

• Members
• Role Scoper
• User Role Editor - My personal favorite
