How to change who can use visual editor?

By default, the visual editor is available to current user with ‘edit_post’ capability.

You can change this by hooking into the ‘vude_can_use_visual_editor’ filter.

add_filter( 'vude_use_visual_editor', 'my_custom_use_visual_editor' );
function my_custom_use_visual_editor( $use_visual_editor) {
    return current_user_can( 'edit_others_pages' )
}

Thank you for your plugin development. The formatting on the front end was problematic until I installed this plugin. Thank you for advancing the look of the Author Bio with formatting including the Visual Editor.

Does exactly what it promises. WYSIWYG for the User Biographical Info field. Very helpful.
