Reply To: Problem showing Custom Fields admin menu to non-admin users

I’m not entirely sure how to do that / what that means?

I see from the documentation that altering the capability does the following:

“Capability used for ACF post types and if the current user can see the ACF menu item. Defaults to ‘manage_options’. Added in v5.1.9”

And is expecting a string. What I don’t understand, is this checking to see if the current user has the capability defined by this filter and displaying / hiding the menu accordingly?

Can someone provide me an example? Would it be something like:

add_filter('acf/settings/capability', 'edit_posts');

Additionally, is this all that is required or is a combination of using the capability filter along with the show_admin filter required? I’m currently testing both of these but would appreciate feedback so I can learn and understand why this does or does not work.
