WP_User::remove_cap() WordPress Method
The remove_cap() method is a member function of the WP_User class. It is used to remove a capability from a user. The user must have the capability to be able to perform this action.
WP_User::remove_cap( string $cap ) #
Removes capability from user.
Parameters
- $cap
(string)(Required)Capability name.
More Information
Changing the capabilities of a user 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.
