Hi,

Possibly, Yes, it would be another reason.
URE automatically adds all needed permissions to WP built-in ‘administrator’ role on installation. So your user should have ‘administrator’ role to definitely have access to URE.

There are no links to images in your prev. message.
Is Flamingo available for free? Send download link to support [at-sign] role-editor.com
I will can check needed user capability myself then.

Hi,

User does not have needed capability. Use “Admin menu add-on” to know, what it is.

If you wish to see full list of administrator menu items open “Admin menu” for the “Administrator” role.
There is no sense to block menu items for administrator. So checkboxes are unavailable here. It is a very good start point for WordPress menu user permissions study and research. You may use “Admin Menu” dialog here as the reference for your work with roles and capabilities as “Admin Menu” shows what user capability restricts access to what admin menu item including menu items added by active plugins.

Some plugins use own user capabilities, some plugins use one from WordPress built-in capabilities, like ‘manage_options’, ‘edit_posts’, etc.

The 1st step is to look what capabilities plugin uses to protect its menu. Open “Admin menu” for the ‘Administrator’ role, find needed menu item and look to the ‘User Capability’ column.

If you mean take the same capabilities which granted directly to a user and grant them to a selected role, No, URE does not have such feature.

Hi,

Try to deactivate URE.
If this fix the problem, activate URE back, go to URE settings and look if the “Additional modules” – “Activate Administrator Menu Access module” option is turned ON. If Yes, check, what options is set for “Admin menu” for user role, which can not see ‘Posts’ menu, like ‘contributor’ one.

Try this filter ‘ure_post_edit_access_restricted_taxonomies’. For example, I excluded post tags from edit restrictions and restricted user can assign tags to the edited post inspite of those IDs, were not included into allowed categories/taxonomies list.

add_filter('ure_post_edit_access_restricted_taxonomies', 'not_restrict_tags', 10, 1);

function not_restrict_tags( $taxonomies ) {
        
    foreach( $taxonomies as $key=>$taxonomy ) {
       if ( $taxonomy==='post_tag' ) {
            unset( $taxonomies[$key] );
       }            
    }
    return $taxonomies;
}

Hi Marci,

When we list shop orders pages WC adds to URL ‘paged=‘ argument. My test shows that it’s processed normally by default for both “blocked selected” and “block not selected” options at the “Admin menu” dialog.

Deactivate “Admin menu” add-on, login under test user and list pages. Look what arguments you see at the URL in addition to the ‘custom_type’ and ‘pages’.

[Vladimir]

1st, “Admin menu access blocking” is not replacement to the initial user permissions. I recommend 1st revoke from a role all capabilities which are not needed. And block rest unneeded admin menu items using “Admin menu” only after that.

For example, it’s quite better to revoke from a role all ‘strong_testimonials_’ capabilities. It will automatically makes unneeded ‘Testimonials’ submenu items unavailable.

Btw., I see that you correctly revoked from ‘BBTC Admin’ role ‘rm_’ capabities. It’s right.

What admin menu items selection are not saved when you try to select them in the “Admin menu” dialog?

If it is possible to get admin access to this site for testing (development copy is preferred), send site URL and admin user credentials, test role ID to support [at-sign] role-editor.com

When roles from the main site exist at the subsites you may sync. roles for user from the main site for this user at all other subsites if go to “Network Admin”->”Users”, and click “Capabilities” link under selected user. Then click “Update Network” button. It will copy the list of user roles granted to user at the main site and grant it to the same user for every subsite.

This article explains how to sync. user roles at subsites with roles from the main site:

That conflicting CSS/JS should not be loaded to the URE’s own page. That is some code loads it globally, not only to page(s) where that CSS/JS is really needed. Can you identify, what plugin/theme loads it? If you load such CSS yourself, try to limit pages, where it’s loaded.

[Vladimir]

Hi Marco,

If you need grant access to some admin menu items, you can find required user capabilities using “Admin menu access” addon:

Block WordPress Admin Menu Items

Open “Admin menu” for the ‘Administrator’ role, find needed menu item and look to the ‘User Capability’ column. Then grant required capability to a role, granted to that user.
