In the above code, the capability "bp_moderate" is mapped to "manage_options". This means any action that requires "bp_moderate" would be equivalent to requiring "manage_options". I have already given the user "bp_moderate" but that won't allow him to actually moderate because he doesn't have "manage_options". Now "manage_options" is too powerful, with it enabled, the user can do many things on the backend. So I want to grant a certain user "bp_moderate" but withoutcertainly can't give "manage_options" abilityto him. SoIt would work for me if I am thinkingcould simply comment out the above code, but since that code resides in the plugin's core file, so I can't do that. The only option left for me is to write a callbackmy own function to overridenullify what the function above function has done when the current user is the user I want to grant the privilege to moderate:
function allow_daniel_edit( $caps = array(), $cap = '', $user_id = 0, $args = array() ) {
if ($user_id == 59) {
return $caps;
}
// Bail if not checking the 'bp_moderate' cap.
if ( 'bp_moderate' !== $cap ) {
return $caps;
}
// Bail if BuddyPress is not network activated.
if ( bp_is_network_activated() ) {
return $caps;
}
// Never trust inactive users.
if ( bp_is_user_inactive( $user_id ) ) {
return $caps;
}
// Only users that can 'manage_options' on this site can 'bp_moderate'.
return array( 'manage_options' );
}
add_filter( 'map_meta_cap', 'allow_daniel_edit', 999, 4 );
But this didn't work, because by the time my function executes, the $caps has been altered by the previous code and becomes "manage_options". So what should be the right way to do this?
