      Hello,

      I try to hide a metabox for my “Suscriber” users with the Piklist Capability in the comment and the WP compabilities.

      /*
Title: Evaluations du projet
Post Type: projets
Capability: edit_others_posts
*/

      To do this, I use the capability “edit_others_posts” because Suscriber don’t have this capability. Unfortunetly, my suscriber still see the metabox.

      Is it a bug?

      @kattagami– I can’t reproduce this error. Seems to work for me. Can you post the code used to register “projets”?

      Yep, this is my code:

      add_filter( 'piklist_post_types' , 'projets_post_type' );
function projets_post_type( $post_types ) {
	$post_types[ 'projets' ] = array(
				'labels' => piklist( 'post_type_labels' , 'Projet'),
				'title' => __( 'Entrer un nouveau titre de projet' ),
				'public' => true,
				'menu_position' => 5,
				'rewrite' 	=> array(
  							slug' => 'projets',
							),
				'supports' 	=> array(
  							'title',
  							'editor',
							),
				'hide_meta_box' => array(
  							'slug',
					  		'author',
					  		'revisions',
					  		'comments',
					  		'commentstatus',
							),
								);
return $post_types;
}

      @kattagami–- I still can’t reproduce. The meta box works perfect for me.

      You may want to run your own tests to see if you can find the bug. Open class-piklist-cpt.php. The line that looks like: && (!$data['capability'] || ($data['capability'] && current_user_can(strtolower($data['capability'])))) contains the logic. Try some of your own if statements with current_user_can to see if you can figure out why it’s not working.

      If I look what wp_get_current_user() return, I can see that my “Suscribers” have a lot of capabilities set to “True” like “edit_others_posts”

      I don’t know why, probably an effect of another plugin. I’m still looking for …

      Thanks Steve for your advices.

      @kattagami– Glad it wasn’t a Piklist bug and you were able to identify the issue.
