I'm trying to find a plugin, or how-to guide, for systematically hiding different modules from the post edit window for the user role of "Contributors".
For example. Some plugins add additional modules to the display like WordPress SEO by Yoast, that continue to display when I don't want that user role to see them.
I'd also like to restrict the Category option to allow this role to only select categories from a single parent category and its child categories. If I can't do that, then I'd like to hide the entire category module from view. Hide the "Slug" and "Author" and "Allow Comments" modules as well.
I've tried a variety of plugins, but none of them it appears does everything I need and some of them seem to be conflicting with each other.
Any help or guidance to a solution would be very much appreciated.
