Hi Bruce,

Hmm that’s not re-directing the Admins or Editors to a different page though – that’s just providing different content on the login welcome page though right? The content I want to show is completely different – it’s going to make the login welcome page way too complicated.

If the only way to do this is for me to use the built in re-direct to /role option then let me know and I’ll have to move to that solution.

Thanks,
Rich

Hi Jason,

Thanks for your response. I suppose my site is a little different to most in that it’s a self-publishing site that sits on top of the WordPress platform. i.e. I’ve built a CMS on top of a CMS!…

The net result is that I use my site as a publishing tool – as do my staff – but they don’t understand why there is three or four variations of everything on a page because I’m using multiple ccap’s – they see all of them.

The only alternative for me I think is if I remove their ‘admin’ status and find different ways for them to perform their roles without accessing the wordpress back-end.

I was hoping for a panacea!! thanks for your help though!

That’s great, thanks!

I was wondering whether it would be possible to do something similar to the paypal buttons, but without them going through to paypal, for example, to be able to go to a user’s profile page and for an admin to ‘gift’ a user the same custom capability that they got from going through paypal? At the moment, going into the user’s profile and adding the custom capability is fine for me as a ‘relatively’ knowledgeable admin, but for people who are simply administering the site and don’t have the wordpress knowledge it would be great to be able to give them buttons.

I suppose I could use the ccap to only allow admins to see the buttons on a user’s profile page… any ideas?

thanks!
