User Role Editor version 4.6

User Role Editor version 4.6 is available for download in both (free and Pro) versions. The changes are:
– Content editing restriction: It is possible to differentiate permissions for posts/pages creation and editing. Use the “Activate “Create Post/Page” capability” option for that.
Turning on this option you automatically add “create_posts” and “create_pages” capabilities to the list of WordPress core user capabilities. After that user with “edit_posts” capability (even administrator) will can not create new post or page until you apparently include this capability to his user role. “edit_posts” will permit just to edit posts. Go to “User Role Editor” and turn on “create_posts”, “create_pages” capability” for “Administrator” role and other roles of your choice after this option activation.

Block user login

If you need to block user login at WordPress, especially if you wish to block login for the group of users, you may assign them special empty role, created with the help of “User Role Editor”. Let’s name it “block-login”, for example. “Empty” means that role does not contain any capability. Role Editor include the ‘read’ capability into new role by default. Turn it off in order to get empty role. It’s easy, right? But user with empty role will see the message “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page” at empty grey background after every login try.
Is it possible to make this blocking more user friendly, if this action could be named user friendly at all? The answer is “Yes”.
