Hi,
thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
For security reasons, the “Custom CSS” textarea is only shown to “Administrators” on WordPress single-site installations and to “Super Admins” on WordPress multi-site installations.
I can see the “Plugins” menu entry on your screenshot, so you seem to be be an Administrator. But is this maybe a multi-site installation?

ok, ive got a subdomain for our Costumer area. kunden.uni-electronic.de
We use ultimate Member for privileges. And yes i am the Administrator. ive never heard of a super-admin.
our mainpage uni-electronic.de, where the tablepress plugin works well, doesnt have ultimate member integrated. Maybe the ultimate member plugin causes this issue.
if i use a subdomain for a wordpress installation, it is automatically a multisite and i need to be a super-admin!? and how is it possible to become a super-admin with the neccesary privileges using utlimate member?
it sounds kind a bit confusing to me, that i need to be a super-admin. I thought that admin would be the highest grade.

Hi,
thanks for the explanation.
A WordPress multisite installation is a special type of installation, where multiple websites share the same database and also the same set of WordPress PHP files. If you just installed WordPress on a separate subdomain, you do not directly have a multisite, so we can rule this out. 🙂
But, as you mention that Member plugin for managing the access rights, that brings us closer to the problem. It appears that your admin user does not have the tablepress_edit_options access capability. This is required for the “Custom CSS” textarea to be visible. So, just use your Member plugin and assign that access capability to your user and everything should be working again.

Hi Tobias,
i have just checked the rights under the Role “Administrator” and it is everything granted under TablePress https://imgur.com/a/nAGAWkA.
So i should have the rights to see the custom css text area. Im sorry but this isnt the case, either.
any other idea?
best regards

Hi,
your screenshot only shows internal access capabilities for the “Custom Post Types”, but TablePress also uses other ones. Please see https://projectdmc.org/support/topic/tablepress-admin-capabilites-problems/#post-3524864 for the full list of capabilities that you should use. You could either add them manually with your Member plugin or also try the approach from https://tablepress.org/faq/tablepress-not-in-admin-menu/ to have them added automatically for Administrator.s

Hi Tobias,
this helped me out. i manually inserted tablepress_edit_options under custom roles and now i have my custom css text area.
Thank you for helping me out!
