Snippet: Display Only the Theme Settings Media Tab for Non-Admins

Updated: July 11, 2024

The following snippet can be used to hide all the settings in the Theme Settings metabox for non-admins. Note, if you wish to hide all the settings from everyone you can use the option in the Theme Panel.

add_filter( 'wpex_metabox_array', function( $array ) {
	if ( current_user_can( 'administrator' ) ) {
		return $array;
	}
	$media_tab = $array['media'];
	$array = [];
	$array['media'] = $media_tab;
	return $array;
}, 100 );

All PHP snippets should be added via child theme's functions.php file or via a plugin.
