Care to share the code you are using?</p> <pre><code>function add_theme_caps() { $role = get_role( &#39;editor&#39; ); // gets the author role $role-&gt;add_cap( &#39;gravityforms_edit_forms&#39; ); // would allow the author to edit others&#39; posts for current theme only } add_action( &#39;admin_init&#39;, &#39;add_theme_caps&#39;);</code></pre> <p>You could always check for theme/plugin conflicts:<br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Testing_for_a_Theme/Plugin_Conflict" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Testing_for_a_Theme/Plugin_Conflict</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-forms-and-capabilities-editor-role#post-56670 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 14:22:03 +0000 enailor 56670@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have already added these capabilities, with exception of uninstall and settings, and not using a plugin.

They click, and the fields simply do not add to the form. I can upgrade them to Administrator, and it works fine. Is there a capability I am missing? From what I can see, seems only ones I have not granted are related to settings and uninstalling... don't want them to touch either of those.</p> <p>Any ideas?</p> <p>GF 1.6.3.3.4 in a WP 3.2.1 multi-site environment </p>
