Editor Handbook

The Editor Handbook plugin provides a Handbook menu item in the admin area and adds a Handbook custom post type for creating private, in-site documentation for site editors.

Handbook pages display using the default page template.

Who has access to Handbook pages?

  • Administrators and Editors can view, update, and delete Handbook pages.
  • Authors can view Handbook pages.
  • Subscribers and Contributors don’t have access to Handbook pages.

How can I customize the template used to display Handbook posts?

Handbook pages are displayed using the page.php template. Use the editor_handbook_template filter to customize which template is used.

function my_handbook_template( $template_names ) {
  return 'my-custom-handbook-template.php';
}
add_filter( 'editor_handbook_template', 'my_handbook_template' );

After setting a new template, flush the rewrite rules by going to Settings > Permalinks in the admin dashboard.
