    Logged in as admin I have the “tools” in the connections sub-menu where we can export entries, so all ok.

    But, when logged in as editor, all the other connections sub-menus are there, BUT the “tools” one… how can I get the “tools” link to be available for editors?

    thanks,
    biorn

    The Connections : Tools admin page will only be available to admins. You can use a plugin like User Role Editor to give the Editor role the required capabilites so the menu will show. The capabilities you’ll need to add to the Editor roles are:

    • manage_options
    • import
    • export

    Note of caution, this will also open up other areas in WordPress that are managed by those same capabilities.

    Hope that helps!

    Thanks for quick reply.

    I tried adding the capabilities, but no change. Am I missing something?

    thanks,

    I’m sorry! I forgot to mention something important. The capabilities I listed are for the 8.5.8 version that I plan on releasing tomorrow/Friday. With 8.5.7 you need only the install_plugins capability. When developing the new tools I used the install_plugins capability… forgetting to set the correct capabilities. Version 8.5.8 fixes this.

    I update to the latest version but nothing changed. the editor cannot see the tools menu and export (You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.). I need them to be able to do this so what now? they are on my every hour here so not sure what to tell them.

    thanks,

    Oh, fudge!!! I made a mistake with the permissions. You want the editor to see the Tools menu and the import and then export tabs, correct?

    If you can give me a temp admin login, I can make the two very minor tweaks to make this show up properly for the editor as long as they have the import and export capabilities which I believe they have by default. You can post the login detail here as a private reply.

    Ok, was incorrect editors do not have the import export capabilities by default… just wanted to correct that statement I made in my previous reply.
