Reset to default 1It looks like you can hook into the ocean_main_metabox_capabilities filter:
It is defined in /plugins/ocean-extra/includes/metabox/metabox.php:
$capabilities = apply_filters( 'ocean_main_metaboxes_capabilities', 'manage_options' );
In your child theme or a custom plugin, try the following (for example, in /themes/mytheme/functions.php:
add_filter( 'ocean_main_metaboxes_capabilities', 'my_custom_metabox_role' );
/**
* Change the default role used to display the Ocean Extra metabox.
*
* @param string $role The role to use, defaults to 'manage_options' (Administrator).
* @return string
*/
function my_custom_metabox_role( $role ) {
if ( ! current_user_can( 'publish_posts' ) ) {
return $role;
}
return 'publish_posts';
}
