WP_Role::remove_cap() WordPress Method
The WP_Role::remove_cap() function is used to remove a capability from a given role. This function is useful for removing capabilities that are no longer needed or desired by a particular role.
WP_Role::remove_cap( string $cap ) #
Removes a capability from a role.
Parameters
- $cap
(string)(Required)Capability name.
More Information
Changing the capabilities of a role is persistent, meaning the removed capability will stay in effect until explicitly granted.
This setting is saved to the database (in table wp_options, field 'wp_user_roles'), so you should run this only once, on theme/plugin activation and/or deactivation.
