In backend how to make few specific categories reserved for admin & editor? Only they can post on those categories. But everyone will see those post in frontend? ex: http://prntscr.com/7w6dzt

I found that all user level can post in all categories. But in a newspaper site there should be some restrictions.

Can anyone give me a code that will do it (not a plugin) 😀

Hi,

Unfortunately this ability isn’t available within theme’s settings as the moment and the most that I can do now is to add your suggestion on our requests list and consider it, however if you don’t want to use a plugin who can grant you this possibility then I advise you to hire a freelancer to do this for you: http://studio.envato.com/

Thanks for the message!

In my blog many users post many articles. But i (admin & editor) want to show only the important and selected posts in the big grid. But now anyone can choose the featured category in the post page & it appears in the big grid. I think admin should have control over what will be shown in the top big grid. Otherwise it is valueless. How can i achieve this?

Thanks

This is something you can control via custom modifications to WordPress. The theme doesn’t specifically control “user roles” or user levels, or category creation, management, etc.

You likely need to google the various user role plugins which limit who has access to publishing levels, and perhaps custom plugins which limit access to certain categories.

If no such plugin exists you would likely need to hire a custom programmer.

The theme doesn’t control the core publishing functions of WordPress such as user levels, category creation, permalinks, users/passwords, date/time, etc.

Info on user roles: https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities

There are a few plugins out there (you have to use a plugin unless you learn to program WP yourself), like this one (not tested): https://wordpress.org/plugins/restrict-categories/
