// Capability needed to use the Visual Builder.
$wpide_divi_builder_capability = 'manage_options';
add_action( 'template_redirect', function () use ( $wpide_divi_builder_capability ) {
if ( empty( $_GET['et_fb'] ) || ! is_user_logged_in() || current_user_can( $wpide_divi_builder_capability ) ) { // phpcs:ignore WordPress.Security.NonceVerification.Recommended
return;
}
wp_safe_redirect( remove_query_arg( array( 'et_fb', 'PageSpeed' ) ) );
exit;
} );
add_action( 'admin_bar_menu', function ( $wp_admin_bar ) use ( $wpide_divi_builder_capability ) {
if ( ! current_user_can( $wpide_divi_builder_capability ) ) {
$wp_admin_bar->remove_node( 'et-use-visual-builder' );
}
}, 999 );Notes
Divi's Role Editor gives finer control; this is a quick way to lock layouts for everyone below the chosen capability.
