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.

Hi Ryan,

OK. What if you try to update from the Update Center (Dashboard->Updates)? It shows more details about the reason of the update failure.

[Vladimir]

Hi Ryan,

General recommendations:
1) Check if valid license key is in place: Settings -> User Role Editor -> General tab
2) Check if file permissions at wp-content/plugins/user-role-editor-pro are correct

What error message do you see after click update link?

[Vladimir]

Thanks for the feedback.

Let me know more details about option 2. ‘User can see’ what is about? Quant of recent posts available for view at front-end? Or something else?

[Vladimir]

Share more details on your settings:
1) Confirm that Visual Composer plugin is active
2) Show a screenshot of the role and ‘admin menu’ window for that role (with which you get mentioned notices).

I will try to repeat this issue to isolate and fix a problem.

P.S. Numbers 4.25.2 included into changes list information are related to the free version of URE (core) on base of which Pro version is built. The latest version of URE Pro is 4.25.

[Vladimir]

Fixed at version 4.25 published today.

[Vladimir]

I confirm this bug. Thanks for the report. I will fix it with the next update.

Hi,

You may input as capability type a ‘formation’. Then add the set of capabilities like you have already for post or page to the user’s role. Then you will not need to give to the user permission to edit pages.

Or if user can edit posts, use ‘post’ instead.

[Vladimir]

Hi,

Could you send ‘Applications’ add-on copy to support [at-sign] role-editor.com?
I will look on the code and make some tests.

[Vladimir]

Hi,

Starting from the next version 4.25 special setting ‘Own data only’ will be available as for a user, as for a role. It will be no need in a workaround described above.
Development version 4.25.b7 is available after login from the Download page. It’s under testing currently.

Hi Jawad,

Test showed that ‘edit_posts’ is required in order may select a brand for the product.

[Vladimir]

Hi Jawad,

Brands plugin uses ‘manage_categories’ capability.
