There are no any specials. If you set restrictions at the role level check if there is no other values set at the user profile for the testing user.

Check if posts, pages with taxonomies listed are exist. Pages are not use taxonomies by default. If you set “Allow” with categories list, pages list will be empty as there are no pages with that taxonomy. Workaround – to add taxonomies for pages and assign some taxonomies for them or exclude page post type from the list of post types restricted for editing by URE via special filter:

ure_restrict_edit_post_type

Hi,

If you use WooCommerce, it automatically redirects to the home page all users without “manage_woocommerce” or “edit_posts” capability. There is a workaround for that:

WooCommerce admin bar and dashboard access

[Vladimir]

Often custom post types are protected with the same capabilities set as the built-in posts: edit_posts, edit_others_posts, etc.

In order to check what capabilities are in use for the custom post type you may use “Admin menu access” add-on.
Activate it and open for ‘Administrator’ role. Found ‘Testimonials’ at the list of menu items opened. Look what it’s shown at the ‘User capability’ column.

Other way to check selected post type capabilities is to add this code to the functions.php and look at its output at the admin page HTML source:

add_action('admin_head', 'debug_output');

function debug_output() {
    $post_type = get_post_type_object('post'); // replace post with custom post type ID if needed
    echo '<!--start debug---' . PHP_EOL;
    print_r($post_type->cap);
    echo '---stop debug-->' . PHP_EOL;
}

If it uses its own capability, like ‘edit_testimonials’, just grant/revoke them with URE.
If it uses ‘edit_posts’, etc. you have 2 options:
1) block access to other post types blocking access to their menu items via “Admin menu access” module.
2) Activate “Force custom post types to use their own capabilities” option at the “Settings->User Role Editor->Additional Modules” tab. Any custom post type (including reserved one, like ‘attachment’ will use its own capabilities set.

Hi,

Look for “add_menu_page(” at the plugin code. You will find menu slug and capability among parameters, which are ‘yit_plugin_panel’ and ‘manage_options’ for the YITH plugin.
So look for similar values at the VPF plugin code.

Yes, you may use a copy of a code provided and change ‘yit_menu_fix’ to ‘vpf_menu_fix’ and replace tag and capability inside function to the related to VPF plugin you found at its code.

Send a copy of LearnDash to support [at-sign] role-editor.com
I will investigate this issue.

Hi,

Try to allow this user role to edit posts: create_posts, edit_posts, edit_published_posts, edit_others_posts.

I fixed the bug with 1st available menu item calculation. It leaded to the blocked one earlier and produced endless redirection loop. Thanks.

Adoption for additional URL parameters was required for Ninja Forms plugin as you use “block unselected” model. I added it to the development version 4.28.2.b1. It’s available after login from the same downloads page.

[Vladimir]

Yes, I tried PressApps plugin. Look this demo video and let me know what you do in a different way.

[Vladimir]

Show the screenshots: capabilities checked for this role, admin menu window. I will try to reproduce the issue.

Hi,

A workaround is to add user capability ‘pa-non-existent-capability’ to the roles with ‘manage_options’ capability. ‘PressApps’ menu will be available for blocking in the “Admin Menu” for those roles after that.

[Vladimir]

It’s possible with “Other Role Access” add-on:

Other roles access management

Hi,

I looked at the WpProQuiz plugin code. It uses its own database tables, not custom post type. So User Role Editor can not help you to show to the users just their own quiz. It’s seems that user with ‘wpProQuiz_edit_quiz’ capability can edit any quiz.
It’s possible to set restrictions with additional programming only.

[Vladimir]

Hi,

Yes, it’s possible. Thanks for a good suggestion. I will include this feature to my development plan (1-2) months.

[Vladimir]

User Role Editor Pro does not have any special settings related to the new user registration email notification. It should not influence on this email in any manner.
What if you deactivate URE Pro temporally? Will you receive notification email about new user registration with URE deactivated?

[Vladimir]

It’s possible. But it’s not realized yet. I will include sidebars access feature to the next version.
