Editor Can Manage Privacy Options #8 in Privacy & Compliance

Editor Can Manage Privacy Options A lightweight WordPress plugin that grants the Editor role access to manage site Privacy Settings — capabilities normally restricted to Administrators. Why This Plugin? By default, only Administrators can configure the site's privacy policy settings (selecting the Privacy Policy page, accessing the privacy guide, etc.). This plugin safely extends that access to trusted Editors without broadly elevating their administrative capabilities. Features - Maps the core manageprivacyoptions meta capability to an Editor-level base capability (editpages, filterable) - Adds the Privacy submenu under Settings for Editors (only if core hasn’t already exposed it) - Guarantees exactly one "Privacy" menu entry via a single idempotent registration - Hides WordPress's render-time duplicate Privacy item (shown when Privacy is an editor's only Settings submenu) - Request‑scoped temporary elevation only on privacy-related pages - Avoids granting unrelated high-risk capabilities like manageoptions - Heuristic admin detection (treats users with high-level caps as admins) How It Works (Technical) Hooks used: - mapmetacap – remaps manageprivacyoptions to a safer base
