    We created an Enfold Child theme, and added the following code to “functions.php”: 

    // get the the role object
$editor = get_role('editor');
// add $cap capability to this role object
$editor->add_cap('edit_theme_options');

    This code activated the “Appearance” menu in the Dashboard for users with the editor role, but we also want to enable the “Enfold Child” dashboard menu item (and the “Theme Options” menu at the top) for users with the editor role.

    How can we do this?

    Hey ocetechnologies!

    Try this plugin out, https://wordpress.org/plugins/members/. Just keep giving the editors more capabilities until it shows up.

    Thanks. I did as suggested and found out you actually need to add to two capabilities to the editor role:

    1) edit_theme_options
    2) manage_options -> this one enabled the Enfold menu in the Dashboard and Theme Options in the top menu for the editor role.
