Hi Ronaldus,
Canvas theme uses ‘manage_options’ capability to protect all its submenu items except ‘Settings’, which uses ‘edit_theme_options’ as expected.
Ultimate Auction Pro plugin uses directly ‘administrator’ role to protect all its menu items. Moreover it intensively checks if user has the ‘administrator’ role through its code.
This means that is no chance to replace ‘administrator’ to some other role without headache after every plugin update.Contact plugin developer. It’s quite better to use user capabilities (or custom role) to protect the plugin, in order a client may decide himself to whom allow to use this plugin.
Hi David,
I need a copy of mentioned plugin in order to take a look what permissions it requires. Could you send it to me?
I suppose that you write about some other plugin. User Role Editor Pro does not have any option to input an “URL for redirect”. Please re-check.
Hi,
>>with all theme related settings unchecked
Is it a typo ‘unchecked’? You should turn ON ‘edit_theme_options’ capability for that user role.In case you need further help please send a copy of Canvas theme installation package to support[at-sign]role-editor.com. I will test it.
Any commercial product copy I get for testing is used at my local test environment only.Hi Garrett,
Thanks for the detailed description of the problem. I agree with you.
Different settings for every available post type will make a system more flexible.It requires requires though to go carefully through all related code, plus user interface changes. I will add such update in a future.
Currently as a quick workaround I will add a filter, so you can manage to what post type to apply URE’s edit restriction and for what post type to ignore them.
It’s almost ready. I will publish it with 4.25.1 update in 1-2 days.Hi,
Thanks for the feedback.
Go to the ‘Settings -> User Role Editor -> Additional Modules’. Turn ON ‘Activate “Create” capability for posts/pages/custom post types’ option. User without ‘create_pages’ capability will can not create new pages after that.
Send plugin copy to support [at-sign] role-editor.com for the evaluation. I will look what is needed to get administrative rights for it.
Never mind, I just realized it is in a old plugins folder copy
Thanks for letting me know, that a potential problem does not exists.
Yes, you may update it manually. You will not lose any piece of data unless you do not click ‘Delete’ link at the “Plugins” page. If you delete current version of the plugin via WordPress you will lose the settings you made.
Steps for the safe plugin version update:
1) Deactivate URE Pro.
2) Delete ‘user-role-editor-pro’ folder via FTP.
3) extract the latest version to wp-content/plugins from the Pro version .zip file you downloaded from role-editor.com
4) activate plugin back.I may to guess only why current permissions to URE Pro folders and files differs from others.
Do you have SSH (command line via terminal window) access to your WordPress server file system? Is it possible for you to show me the output of some commands related to the file permissions management? I mean to check the current permissions, compare them with other plugin folder and set them the same way.
According to the error message, your WordPress got a copy of the latest version of URE Pro from role-editor.com server successfully, but it (WP) can not write new files to the user-role-editor-pro folder. This problem is resolved generally by setting right folder permissions.
I may look at if you provide an admin access to WordPress and FTP access to its installation folder. If it’s applicable for you, send credentials to support [at-sign] role-editor.com
It’s the most probably file permissions problem. Set the same permissions to the user-role-editor-pro folder and all its childs (subfolders) as you have already for other plugins: 755 in general.
