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.

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.

[Vladimir]

Hi Jawad,

Send brands plugin copy to support email. I will look at it.

There are no updates for those subjects yet.

[Vladimir]

Hi Jawad,

Thanks. I will add ‘x’ link to the right of every meta box to remove it.

Add ‘assigng_product_terms’ – enables to select, remove ‘edit_product_terms’ – removes ‘Add New Product category’ link.

[Vladimir]

Hi Jawad,

‘manage_product_terms’ capability is responsible for the product categories. Admin menu window is helpful in such cases.

WordPress does not have a global structure to remember all available meta boxes, as WP does with admin menu. Meta box becomes available when user opens a page for which meta box is created.

Currently URE remembers available meta boxes step by step when you open dashboard or post/page/CPT editor pages. It does not delete unavailable meta boxes automatically. Imagine another situation when you temporarily deactivated some plugin for the debug purpose, but URE deleted all restrictions you made for its meta boxes.

I agree that some cleanup should be possible. What if to add ‘Remove’ link to the right of every meta box in a list?

[Vladimir]

Hi Jawad,

Proper way to manually update plugin without its data loss:
1) deactivate it
2) replace its files with a new version
3) activate it back

‘manage_woocommerce’ may lead to this issue. Try to return ‘edit_orders’ capability to the role and block ‘Orders’ menu via User Role Editor. URE will hide ‘Orders’ menu item and it should block direct access by blocked URL also.

Remind me please what do you wish to achieve with those columns?

[Vladimir]

Hi Jawad,

How do you delete the old version of URE? If you clicked ‘Delete’ at WordPress admin – the result is expected all file and data related to the plugin were deleted.

1) When you change capabilities or roles URE stop his work at that point. All permissions checking made further is done by WordPress. URE take part just when you use additional modules, like admin menu or edit restrictions.
I can not repeat a described issue. WordPress shows permissions error properly in this case. Send a list of capabilities available to such user.

2) delete_shop_order, delete_shop_orders are the same. WordPress uses ‘delete_shop_order’ for internal use and converts it finally to the ‘delete_shop_orders’. I think that WooCommerce should not create ‘delete_shop_order’ capability apparently, as WordPress does not create ‘delete_post’ for example.
‘delete_shop_order_terms’ – related to the taxonomy linked to the orders. Like categories or tags linked to the posts.

3) I will check what I can do with it and let you know the result. Such code may cost $20-$30.
