How to not allow custom roles to edit published custom post types?

0 Views

I have a WP site with a custom role (revisor) and a custom post type (events).

What I would like to do is allow my revisors to add new events, but not edit existing.

I’m already using the Members plugin, and i have ‘edit_published_events’ unchecked in it, but the users can still edit the events.

I think the problem is that I have another CPT that I want to let them edit (called listings), so I can’t fully restrict ‘edit_posts’ in the capabilities.

Any ideas on how I can just remove the option for editing a published CPT?
I did see a post about removing the ‘edit’ option that appears when you hover over the post’s name in the list, but clicking on the post still lets you edit…

Thanks!!!

  1. Something like this (untested)

    add_action( 'init', 'remove_revisor_cap_edit_posts' ); 

function remove_revisor_cap_edit_posts() {

if ( 'events' == get_post_type() ) {

$role = get_role( 'revisor' );
$role->remove_cap( 'edit_posts' );
    }
}
