Hello,
My clients are assigned the ‘editor’ role. I do not want them to make changes to the ‘post settings’ in each post.

Can I restrict this somehow within the theme? (I’m using a child theme version).

Thanks!
Craig

Theme doesn’t control user levels; you need to use a plugin for that — this is a ‘user role’ function.

this plugin is fairly popular as just one example

Hi,

You can use current user capability to display post settings only for admin, but you have to do this change in the main theme – http://screencast.com/t/QWUfFVauwh
Please check – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/current_user_can – https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities
Or you can use a plugin for this, like Chris suggested.

Thanks!
