If you manage a WordPress site with multiple contributors, you’ve probably run into the problem. Editors can see and edit everything — every post, every page, across every section of the site. For a small
team that’s fine. For an organisation with departments, teams, or clients who shouldn’t be crossing into each other’s content, it’s a headache.
Editor Remit solves that in one focused step.
What it does
Assign permitted categories to any editor or author and they will only see and work within those categories — nothing else. The restriction applies across the post list, the block editor category panel,
and on save. It’s enforced server-side, so it can’t be bypassed by editing the UI or hitting the REST API directly.
If a user has no categories assigned, no restriction is applied. Administrators are always unrestricted.
Page support
WordPress doesn’t enable categories for pages by default. Editor Remit includes an optional setting to add category support to pages and apply the same restrictions there.
What it doesn’t do
Remit does one thing well. It doesn’t touch custom post types, custom taxonomies, tags, or user roles. There’s nothing to configure beyond assigning categories to users.
