A WordPress Multisite network administrator was bugged by a site administrator claiming that a plugin installed “Pods – Custom Content Types and Fields” after being activated have its admin page (Pods Admin) missing.
The network administrator’s dashboard side bar menu is showing the said Pods Admin menu while in the site administrator’s dashboard side bar menu it’s not showing. No one’s really backing off as both are seeing correctly until they got to see each other’s dashboard.
It turned out that this particular WordPress plugin is problematic. The problem is somehow the site administrator did not get correctly the rights to see the Pods Admin page.
The solution was to correct the role and responsibility of the site administrator to include the Pods Plugin. People suggest of installing a Role and Responsibility Plugin and assign this particular plugin pages/template to the site administrator which for some who’ve tried it is a hit and miss thing.
Another solutions is through creating a custom function and put it in functions.php of WordPress.
<?php
function access_for_all_admins( $access ) {
if ( !$access && current_user_can( ‘manage_options’ ) ) {
$access = true;
}
return $access;
}
add_filter( ‘pods_is_admin’, ‘access_for_all_admins’ );
The above code somehow have solved the “Pods – Custom Content Types and Fields” Plugin missing admin (Pods Admin) page.
