Wordpress - Allow Editors To Manage Theme Widgets


If you don't want to use a plugin, you can also add this to your functions.php or somewhere similar.

$role = get_role('editor');$role->add_cap('edit_theme_options');


I'm afraid you're going to need to use a plugin to achieve this, since changing Widgets is a switch_themes capability not available to Editors. You need a plugin that changes roles and capabilities (like Capability Manager). Check a similiar topic about this issue in Wordpress Forums.


In WordPress 3.2.1 the capability is edit_theme_options. switch_themes will do nothing more than allow you to activate a different theme from the available ones.
