Let's say i have two types of templates available when making a Page. "Default template" and "Intermediate template".
I have a role called "editor", and i do not want the editor to access the "Intermediate template".
Is this possible (with a hook) ?

Do you need to hide a template from the page editor screen back end so that the user only have the one option to choose from when he creates a new page? Please answer this in the form of an edit to your question– Pieter GoosenCommented Dec 10, 2014 at 9:16

Good point @PieterGoosen, I've answered the question maybe incorrectly. Ooops, no, I was right, my answer was accepted.– cybmetaCommented Dec 10, 2014 at 9:52

@cybmeta hahaha, great. Question is a bit ambiguous. Read your answer and the question, bit confusing :-). Enjoy– Pieter GoosenCommented Dec 10, 2014 at 10:43

If you need to change the template used, you can use the template_include filter (change "itermediate-template.php" and "page.php" with correct file names of your template files):
add_filter( 'template_include', 'cyb_exclude_template_for_editors', 99 );
function cyb_exclude_template_for_editors( $template ) {
$user = wp_get_current_user();
if( in_array( "editor", (array) $user->roles ) && is_page_template( "itermediate-template.php" ) ) {
$new_template = locate_template( array( 'page.php' ) );
if ( '' != $new_template ) {
return $new_template ;
}
}
return $template;
}
If you need to redirect the user to another page you can use template_redirect filter:
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'cyb_redirect_editors_from_page_template' );
function cyb_redirect_editors_from_page_template() {
$user = wp_get_current_user();
if( in_array( "editor", (array) $user->roles ) && is_page_template( "itermediate-template.php" ) ) {
//Redirect to home, change to fit your needs
wp_redirect( home_url() );
exit();
}
}
