Code doesn’t show very well. Let’s try again:
<pre class=”brush: php; gutter: true; first-line: 1; highlight: []; html-script: false”>add_filter ('FHEE_management_capability', 'my_custom_menu_management_capability');
function my_custom_menu_management_capability() {
return 'edit_pages';
}
add_filter ('FHEE_espresso_events_capability', 'my_custom_espresso_events_capability');
function my_custom_espresso_events_capability($capability){
return 'edit_pages';
}
add_filter ('FHEE_espresso_registrations_capability', 'my_custom_espresso_registrations_capability');
function my_custom_espresso_registrations_capability($capability){
return 'edit_pages';
}

Hi,
Sorry about the code brush, it’s not very good. Pastebin is a great alternative.
OK, well Josh’s code will indeed load the pages on the Editors admin dashboard. However the problem is that there is a function that checks capability (_check_user_access() in EE_Admin_Page_Loader.core.php) that is not filterable or pluggable and it loosk solely for manage_options.
This leaves you with two choices:
1) Edit the core file to look for edit_pages as well. Not really recommended as you will have to do it every time the plugin is updated.
2) Give the editors manage_options rights. Yes this does open up a lot of other menus, but what you could do is another function to remove those menus – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/remove_menu_page
function remove_menus(){
if(current_user_can( 'editor' ) ) {
remove_menu_page( 'index.php' ); //Dashboard
remove_menu_page( 'edit.php' ); //Posts
remove_menu_page( 'upload.php' ); //Media
remove_menu_page( 'edit.php?post_type=page' ); //Pages
remove_menu_page( 'edit-comments.php' ); //Comments
remove_menu_page( 'themes.php' ); //Appearance
remove_menu_page( 'plugins.php' ); //Plugins
remove_menu_page( 'users.php' ); //Users
remove_menu_page( 'tools.php' ); //Tools
remove_menu_page( 'options-general.php' ); //Settings
}
}
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'remove_menus' );
I’ll add a feature request for a filter to be added, as this would obviously be the better option.

Thanks, Dean that helps! I went with option 2. And since I am already using Adminimize (another wp plugin) I can just use that to hide menus for editors. The combination of Josh’s code and adding manage_options cap for editors is what worked.
Thanks again!
