  Hi,
  Is it possible to grant Wordfence access to the Shop_Manager role.
  I have been trying to achieve this for a couple days without success.

  Here is a snippet I use but I can’t see the wordfence menu and if I use the url of Wordfence I do not get access.

  Thanks a lot

  function add_wordfence_caps_to_shop_manager() {
  // Get the Shop Manager role
  $shop_manager_role = get_role(‘shop_manager’);

  // Add Wordfence capabilities
  if ($shop_manager_role) {
      $shop_manager_role->add_cap('wordfence');
      $shop_manager_role->add_cap('wordfence_options');
  }

  }
  add_action(‘init’, ‘add_wordfence_caps_to_shop_manager’);

  Using “User Role Editor” plugin I can see that Shop_Manager hase the following capabilities so that should work in theory?

  delete_wordfence_logs
  edit_wordfence_logs
  list_wordfence_logs
  read_wordfence_logs
  view_wordfence_live_traffic
  view_wordfence_logs
  view_wordfence_scans
  wordfence
  wordfence_options

  We can’t help with custom coding and third party plugins as Wordfence. You must take a look in the documentation of Wordfence.

  Hi erolwebmanage!

  WordFence Security is incompatible with WordPress.com as it conflicts with our default security features: https://wordpress.com/support/plugins/incompatible-plugins/#security-plugins

  If your question is related to a self-hosted site, I recommend you check the WordFence support forum (https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordfence/) or contact them directly at https://www.wordfence.com/contact/

  Best,
