dashboard visibility

  1. I've noticed the dashboard widget doesn't display on any of the "Editor" level users (or below). Is there a way to adjust this? Can't seem to find one. Thanks.

  2. Unfortunately there isn't currently a way to do this. The dashboard widget is only displayed for administrators. I will make a note of this and talk to the team about finding a way to do this.

  3. Several other plug-ins have the functionality. Site Stats allows me to designate all the way down to subscriber. I just need to let Editors and Authors see the info. In the mean time, they'll just have to get by with the notifications. Thanks. Love the product.

  4. I also have specific need to have "Editors" view the form submission content. I also love Gravity Forms; this addition would be a huge plus.

  5. @turnki You can allow Editors to view form submissions using WordPress Role Management plugins. WordPress doesn't have role management editing built in, but you can use the Members plugin and turn on it's Edit Roles capabilities and then you can Edit the Editors role and add the available Gravity Forms capabilities to it to allow Editors to view form submissions. The Members plugin can be found here:

    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members/

    After installing and activating it, you need to go to it's Settings page and turn on the Edit Roles feature. Then you can go to the Users menu and then Roles and edit the Editor role and add the Gravity Forms capabilities that involve viewing form submissions.

    When you activate the Members plugin the Forms menu may disappear, if it does then you also need to edit the Admin role and make sure ALL of the Gravity Forms capabilities and checked.

  6. Thanks, Carl. I'll dig into that. Looks like a good solution.

  7. Carl, I'm jumping in late. What the code I would put in the functions file to do the same thing, if I didn't use the plugin?

  8. Here is a post that discusses how to do this manually without using the Members plugin, be sure to read through the entire post and specifically the code examples from Alex Cancado.

    A list of all the capabilities can be found here:
