How to Add Snippets into the functions.php File of the Active Child Theme

Attention: Create a site backup before applying any changes to functions.php.

This ensures that you can restore the website if something goes wrong after adding the code snippet.

  1. Copy the required code snippet to your clipboard.
  2. Navigate to WordPress Dashboard > Appearance > Theme File Editor.
  3. Click the functions.php tab to open the file.
  4. Paste the code snippet below the existing code in the Selected file content: area.
  5. Click the "Update File" page.

Example Use Case

Use this snippet to allow designated user roles (such as hr-manager) to edit Custom Content Type (CCT) items created by other users. Please note that, to make it work, the “Manage Options” capability must be enabled for the user role.
Applicable scenarios:

  • Agencies and teams: Enable managers or HR roles to oversee and edit content created by various users.
  • Multi-author sites: Grant wider editing permissions without full admin access.
  • Administrators: Delegate control over custom content efficiently.
