Does anyone know if we can hide the top admin bar purge all button for specific user roles like authors? I wanna keep it for admins but stop normal writers from randomly clearing the entire cache. Any tips? @garcia2 Try this code(I added in theme functions.php ): add_action( 'admin_bar_menu', 'lsc_remove_bar_menu', 99999 ); add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'lsc_remove_bar_menu', 99999 ); function lsc_remove_bar_menu( $admin_bar ) { global $wp_admin_bar; // Roles that should LOSE the purge controls. $hide_for_roles = array( 'editor', 'shop_manager' ); $user = wp_get_current_user(); if ( ! array_intersect( $hide_for_roles, (array) $user->roles ) ) { return; // not a targeted role -> leave everything } if ( $wp_admin_bar->get_node( 'litespeed-menu' ) ) { $wp_admin_bar->add_node( array( 'id' => 'litespeed-menu', // existing args are kept (merge) 'href' => admin_url( 'admin.php?page=litespeed' ), ) ); } // Remove every purge entry (covers both admin + front-end node ids). $purge_nodes = array( 'litespeed-purge-all', // 'litespeed-purge-all-lscache', // 'litespeed-purge-cssjs', // 'litespeed-purge-cloudflare', // 'litespeed-purge-object', // 'litespeed-purge-opcache', // 'litespeed-purge-ccss', // 'litespeed-purge-ucss', // 'litespeed-purge-localres', // 'litespeed-purge-placeholder', // 'litespeed-purge-vpi', // 'litespeed-purge-avatar', // 'litespeed-purge-single', // 'litespeed-purge-single-ucss', // 'litespeed-single-action', ); foreach ( $purge_nodes as $id ) { $wp_admin_bar->remove_node( $id ); } }
