I’m using the Pro Version of your great Plugin to manage admin access of a page. I have installed the Plugin «Category Order and Taxonomy Terms Order» to allow sorting of posts and special post taxonomies. I have allowed access to an admin group which allows him to access the page in the admin area and make changes. The URL looks like this:
/wp-admin/edit.php?page=to-interface-post
However there is a selection which lets you switch to a different taxonomy to sort this too. Tis changes the URL to this:
wp-admin/edit.php?page=to-interface-post&taxonomy=category
As soon as you try to access this page the user gets redirected to the dashboard. Is there a reason that this is not allowed and can i somehow make sure that the user group can access this sub page too?
Excuse for delay with answer – I had 2 weeks vacation.
Did you apply Admin menu access restrictions for role of this user?
If you use “Block not selected” model for admin menu restriction, it may be a reason why user is redirected to to the dashboard when he try to open URL with additional parameter. Read carefully the final part of the documentation page.
I hope that switching to the “block selectes” model or tuning “URL arguments white list” will help you to resolve this issue.
Is it possible to look at your settings online?
If Yes, then send site URL, admin login credentials to support [at-sign] role-editor.com
I will check what may go wrong.
I found the the guilty party. The plugin had duplicate “&” in the edit URL. Like: /wp-admin/post.php?post=5709&action=edit&&taxonomy=foo “After I removed a “&”, the thing worked again.
