Thanks for patience, Andy. Yes, I confirm the final date of this update.

Hi,

Thanks for the detailed description.
Unfortunately, I can not repeat this issue. Is this happened with active URE Pro installed from the box? If not, share the settings you made in URE, which lead to the issue with application passwords. If you can share access to the site copy where I can repeat the issue, it would be helpful.

[Vladimir]

Can you setup development copy without critical data (for example, remove all users and content) where repeat the issue and provide access for the investigation then?

[Vladimir]

Thanks for the information. If it’s applicable, you may send user credentials with admin privileges to support [at] role-editor.com, in order I try isolate a reason.

[Vladimir]

It’s correct to uses this add-on for user role with ‘manage_options’ user capability.
Let me know, if you use “Admin menu editor” WordPress plugin? There is the known conflict between it and URE Pro “Admin menu access” add-on.

[Vladimir]

Let’s check, if you didn’t granted to this custom user role the ‘ure_manage_options’, ‘ure_admin_menu_access’ user capabilities.

[Vladimir]

Thanks for the quick feedback. “Update Network” is the “Network Admin->Users->User Role Editor->Update Network” button. “Apply to All sites” checkbox visible at the main (top level domain) site of the network historically was appeared at the free version of URE and doesn’t replicate the add-ons (Meta Boxes, Admin menu, etc.) data for role for other sites. I suppose it would be better to hide “Apply to All sites” checkbox for the Pro version at all in order do not confuse users.

Hi Jess,

Yes, send credentials for that to support [at] role-editor.com. I will try to provide your a solution. Send also WP user name who should work with LD notifications add-on. Screenshot with point on the admin menu item which should be available for user will be helpful.

[Vladimir]

Workaround: Do not use add-on related buttons ‘Meta Boxes’, ‘Other Roles’, ‘Post Edit’, ‘Plugins’ and ‘Import’ under ‘Network Admin->Users->User Role Editor’.

Under the main site of the multi-site network (top level domain site) these buttons work as expected, as under any other single site/subsite. The issue is related to the ‘Network Admin’ level only.

‘Update Network’ button works as expected, while you don’t wipe capabilities from user role(s) using add-on buttons from the list above.

Modules data update part should be refactored to get full compatibility with use under the Network admin. I will do it until April 9, 2026, to publish URE Pro updated version before WordPress 7.0 release.

Hi Jess,

Did you solve the described problem with MemberPress automatic redirection to front-end which blocks access to wp-admin for user with custom role and non-member? URE Pro can not solve this via existing functionality, but I could try to help with a piece of code.

[Vladimir]

The issue was reproduced. I investigate it and work on a fix.

[Vladimir]

Hi Jess,

As MemberPress is not available at wordpress.org, can you share its copy (Google Drive, etc.) for testing/investigation, how allow selected user role ignore wp-admin access restriction from MemberPress?

[Vladimir]

SEOPress plugin manages own capabilities itself via own capabilities manager: SEO->Advanced->Security
It executes related code every page load via WordPress ‘init’ action and rewrites seopress capabilities roles distribution from the scratch every time. So Yes, URE updates user role, but SEOPress rewrites it every time according to its own data.

Try to use SEOPress own user role/capabilities manager or switch off SEOPress capabilities manager removing somehow it from WP init hook:
wp-content/plugins/wp-seopress/src/Actions/CustomCapabilities.php, line #40.

[Vladimir]

Hi,

“view_admin_dashboard” is right ID for this capability. It doesn’t exist by default. If you don’t see it, create it yourself. Btw., ‘read’ capability is required for access to wp-admin by default by WordPress itself also.

[Vladimir]

URE Pro does not have such (permanent) effect, when you turn OFF the view access add-on or more – deactivate plugin. I suppose that some another settings / plugin is involved.
Can you try to deactivate all plugins make another test and then isolate a problem activating plugins back one by one with new test after every activated plugin?
