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.
