I am only just learning about custom taxonomies for Wordpress. How is it possible to restrict access for my users to use a taxonomy. For instance, I have created a taxonomy named featured
and I only want Editors and above roles to be able to add posts to this taxonomy.
How do I set the access level? Either based on user role or capability, both works for me.
Here is the code that I use for my taxonomy:
function add_custom_taxonomies() {
// Add new "Featured" taxonomy to Posts
register_taxonomy('featured', 'post', array(
// Hierarchical taxonomy (like categories)
'hierarchical' => true,
// This array of options controls the labels displayed in the WordPress Admin UI
'labels' => array(
'name' => _x( 'Featured', 'taxonomy general name' ),
'singular_name' => _x( 'Featured', 'taxonomy singular name' ),
'search_items' => __( 'Search Featured' ),
'all_items' => __( 'All Featured' ),
'parent_item' => __( 'Parent Featured' ),
'parent_item_colon' => __( 'Parent Featured:' ),
'edit_item' => __( 'Edit Featured' ),
'update_item' => __( 'Update Featured' ),
'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New Featured' ),
'new_item_name' => __( 'New Featured Name' ),
'menu_name' => __( 'Featured' ),
),
// Control the slugs used for this taxonomy
'rewrite' => array(
'slug' => 'featured', // This controls the base slug that will display before each term
'with_front' => false, // Don't display the category base before "/locations/"
'hierarchical' => true // This will allow URL's like "/locations/boston/cambridge/"
),
));
}
add_action( 'init', 'add_custom_taxonomies', 0 );
