Cannot figure this out: user_has_cap

[Dino Termini]

Hi list,

For the life of me, I can't figure this out. I want to prevent my
authors to edit a bunch of pages on my website.

Aside from using pre_get_posts to change wp_query, I'd also tweak
current_user_can "on the fly" and remove "edit_pages" from the user's
capabilities, if the ID is in my blacklist.

So I created a plugin with the following code:

function tweak_edit_page_capability( $allcaps, $caps, $args ) {
file_put_contents( '/file/somewhere', 'it works!', FILE_APPEND );
return $allcaps;
}
add_filter( 'user_has_cap', 'tweak_edit_page_capability', 10, 3 );

However the function is not called! What am I doing wrong? I've
deactivated all plugins and reset the theme, but nothing helps!

Dino.

Are you logged in as a super admin on multisite? The user_has_cap filter
doesn't get called in that situation.

My User Switching plugin has a nice bit of documentation with its callback
functions for this filter and the corresponding map_meta_cap filter, which
may help you. See here and here:
