Hi,

Syntax error is at the prev line – missed closing bracket ‘)’ after (‘custom_role’). It should be:

    if (current_user_can('custom_role')) {
      add_action( 'admin_footer', 'user_profile_fields_disable_js' );
    }

Hi Elizabeth,

You have to deactivate any active version of URE before try activate another one.
If you accidentally lost URE permissions – deactivation/activation of URE helps usually.

[Vladimir]

If you will need further help, send or share via Google Drive a modified functions.php file. I will check its syntax.

I see 2 possible problems in the code above:
1) Look if single quote “‘” is not replaced at your copy with other characters;
2) at the JavaScript code line
var fields_to_disable = ['role', 'facebook', 'twitter', 'additional_profile_urls', 'wp-user-avatar-existing,];
there is a syntax error. Replace the ‘,’ at the end with missed “‘” (closing single quote) character, like below:
var fields_to_disable = ['role', 'facebook', 'twitter', 'additional_profile_urls', 'wp-user-avatar-existing'];

You can exclude role ‘board_member’ from all user role selecting drop-down lists exactly for the user with role ‘coordinator’ using the code below:

add_filter('editable_roles', 'ure_exclude_role', 10, 1);
function ure_exclude_role( $roles ) {
    
    $user = wp_get_current_user();
    if ( empty( $user ) || empty( $user->roles ) ) {
        return $roles;
    }
    
    if ( !in_array( 'coordinator', $user->roles ) ) {
        return $roles;
    }

    // Remove board_member role from all dropdown user roles lists
    if ( isset( $roles['board_member'] ) ) {
         unset( $roles['board_member'] );
    }

    
    return $roles;
}

Also you can fully exclude roles and users with those roles from the point of view user with coordinator role with the help of “Other roles access” add-on:

Other roles access management

Hi,

There would be 2 possible problems:
1) Changes are not saved to any role due to JavaScript error. Check the browser JavaScript console if it contains error messages after “Users->User Role Editor” page opening or after click on the “Update” button.
2) Role which you try to change is re-created by some plugin on a fly for every user requests. You may test this deactivating temporally all plugins except URE and update a role again.

What case is yours?

[Vladimir]

If look at the file class-gf-mailchimp.php, line #119, you will see:

/**
* Defines the capabilities needed for the Mailchimp Add-On
*
* @since 3.0
* @access protected
* @var array $_capabilities The capabilities needed for the Add-On
*/
protected $_capabilities = array( 'gravityforms_mailchimp', 'gravityforms_mailchimp_uninstall' );

So Mailchimp menu item is protected by ‘gravityforms_mailchimp’ user capability.

Hi,

In order to help you I need access to this add-on copy. If it’s applicable share .zip with support [at-sign] role-editor.com via Google Drive or DropBox. I use such software locally and in the investigation purpose only.

[Vladimir]

Hi,

Do you use this plugin for integration with MailChimp?

[Vladimir]

As about tags, you can input tag ID to the edit restrictions for selected role.

Yes, ure_edit_posts_access_id_list hook allows you to use any custom criteria by which you select posts available for a role.

[Vladimir]

Look now. I just deactivated and activated back User Role Editor as have recommended before. It restored its own user capabilities for administrator role and became available again.

If it may be related somehow – I deactivated and activated back the “Menu Items Visibility Control” plugin also, thinking it works for back-end, not for front-end.

[Vladimir]

Hi,

If it’s possible allow me to look on the issue on-line with administrator privileges, send credentials to support [at-sign] role-editor.com

[Vladimir]

Thanks for the information. Did you try to open this dialog before open “Users->User Role Editor” the 1st time? If Yes, then as a workaround try to open “Users->User Role Editor”, then try again “URL Parameters White List”. Let me know if that helped. I will add additional data value checking to exclude similar situation in a future.

[Vladimir]

I included the support email address in the prev. message. Send them there.
