Removing Events dropdown from Toolbar by role

[Steven W]

We’re going to have some fairly nontechnical users registering in the Subscriber role. I’ve noticed that when a Subscriber logs in, the Toolbar that shows in Dashboard mode has the Events dropdown displayed. They can’t hurt anything since clicking the menu items just gets them the “You don’t have sufficient permissions…” spiel, but I’m afraid it’s going to cause unnecessary confusion. Is there any way to remove the Events dropdown menu from the toolbar if the logged-in user carries the Subscriber role? See http://screencast.com/t/vDo2vFv5a2 for visual.

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins.

We have this guide to remove it all together.

Remove “Events” From the WordPress Admin Bar

You might be able to put that constant in your functions.php and wrap it like this:

if ( current_user_can( 'subscriber' ) ) {
define('TRIBE_DISABLE_TOOLBAR_ITEMS', true);
}

Not sure if that will work, but it is worth a shot.

Thanks

The conditional works like a charm. Thanks!
