Set Up Permissions In Wordpress

  • I would like to know how I can customize WordPress to set up different user permissions. I would like to create a WordPress theme that will have say five departments namely Math | English | Science | Music | Computers. These will be represented by the navigation menu. For example the nav tab named Math will be navigation item as well as a name representing that math department.

    Each department say the Math department will have a number of users and only one person from that department will have the privilege to add, edit or delete content only to their page/department and not any other Page/department.

    Also and more importunately, I want to know how I can customize my WordPress theme so that I control how much HTML or CSS each department can use. For example, I want to limit access to HTML and CSS code so that users do not add code that will break the layout of the site.

  • This plugin may be helpful for setting privileges within the admin area of WP. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/adminimize/

  • Thanks. I will definitely check it out.

  • No worries. Glad I could help.

  • I don't think the firs part is possible in Wordpress unless you right a tong of code. Seccont part you just need to do php replace and check the length if that is what you want.

    Hope it's helpful
