Hello, <\/p>\n
I need to disable the ability of my editors to add new categories. I thought that removing the standard wordpress capability of “manage_categories” would take care of that, but it doesn’t seem to interact with the Events post types at all. <\/p>\n
I’ve looked over the documentation at https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/knowledgebase\/admin-roles-and-permissions\/#capabilities and it looks like there isn’t an Events Calendar capability to manage categories at all? I’ve confirmed this by installing the Members plugin and looking in the options there, to no avail.<\/p>\n
Looks like another user of yours in 2013 attempted to solve this: https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/disable-editing-of-event-categories\/ but their code snippet solution isn’t working for me. I’ve moved that over to a pastebin for easier inspection here: http:\/\/pastebin.com\/LRda7cVZ
\nAlso, I’ve included it here:<\/p>\n
