FAQPage Schema

How do I manage WordPress roles and capabilities in a Sage theme?▼

Managing WordPress roles and capabilities in Sage requires mapping permissions using add_role, add_cap, and map_meta_cap. This approach provides granular access control across admin dashboards and custom post types within Acorn projects.

Can I use Laravel Gates and Policies for WordPress authorization in Acorn?▼

Yes, Laravel-style Gates and Policies can authorize actions in WordPress via Acorn. This pattern bridges WordPress capabilities with structured authorization, enforcing fine-grained access control for REST API endpoints and admin menus.

What is the best way to secure REST API endpoints with JWT in WordPress?▼

Securing WordPress REST API endpoints with JWT involves applying middleware guards and permission callbacks. This restricts access based on user capabilities, ensuring authenticated requests are validated against custom role definitions.

How does map_meta_cap work for custom post type permissions?▼

The map_meta_cap function maps meta capabilities to primitive capabilities, granting granular control over custom post types. It translates requested actions into core WordPress permissions that registered roles must possess to proceed.

Do I need custom roles for a Sage and Acorn project?▼

Custom roles in Sage and Acorn projects are necessary when default WordPress roles lack the required granularity. Registering custom capabilities ensures users only access specific admin dashboards and authorized REST endpoints.
