User Role Editor Pro 4.6.0.2 bug fix

User Role Editor Pro version 4.6.0.2 is available for downloads and update. This update concerns the roles import functionality and includes:

  • Bug fix: Invalid notice “Unknown error: Roles import was failed” was shown after successful roles import to the single WordPress site.
  • Update: Spaces in user capability are allowed for import to provide compatibility with other plugins, which use spaces in user capabilities, e.g. NextGen Gallery’s “NextGEN Change options”, etc.

General restriction for usage of spaces inside user role capability ID is left untouched in the User Role Editor. Less strict checking is allowed only for the import operation.

User Role Editor Pro 4.6.0.1 bug fix

Please update from version 4.6, if you met similar problem.

Allow user to edit selected posts and pages only

You can allow user to edit the selected set of posts or pages or custom post types only. When it could be useful? Suppose you need to give the user ability to edit someone other’s post. But if you simply give that user “edit_others_posts” capability, such user will can edit any posts created by other authors. In this situation “User Role Editor Pro” may help you. Just restrict user access for editing selected posts and pages only. Read more Allow user to edit selected posts and pages only

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.
