Are the previously discussed settings (editing restricted by author ID) still active for this user?

Yes, you need to add the code to fully exclude the order from other users. They are included by default for products, where this user is an owner.

If you have a test environment try development version (current is 4.25.b5). It’s available after login from the same download page.

I added a filter, which allows to switch off order, which added by default according to the product owner ID. So add it to the theme’s functions.php or set up this code as the ‘must-use’ plugin.

add_filter('ure_edit_posts_access_add_orders_by_product_owner','ure_add_orders_by_product_owner',10,1);

function ure_add_orders_by_product_owner($value) {

  return false;
}

General recommendation – whenever it’s possible to block access via user capability – remove that capability from the user role. Use ‘Admin menu access’ module just in case you have to leave the capability in the role to provide access to some other menu items.

Links menu is protected by ‘manage_links’ capability. I suppose it is not used anywhere else. So remove it from the ‘production’ role.

Btw, I successfully blocked ‘Links’ menu as ‘Not Selected’ at recent test with URE Pro v. 4.24.6. It just confirms your guess that discussed site has something special…

Hi Kevin,

What version of User Role Editor Pro is installed at your site?

[Vladimir]

I will test UpdraftPlus and return to you with a conclusion.

[Vladimir]

Send me please a screenshot of role assigned to a user with restricted access.
Check if you really restricted access for this user to iThemes Settings page. If a related menu item is blocked by User Role Editor Pro, but you can access it via direct URL, give a try to a development version of URE Pro 4.25.b4. It includes some enhancement to the URL blocking logic.

[Vladimir]

It’s possible to remove all admin notices for the role:

Remove admin notices

iThemes plugin notice – I will test a described issue.

Revolution Slider don’t use custom post type to store slider as for example WooCommerce does. Plugin stores records at its own DB tables. So I don’t have decision to manage access to the sliders.

In order to help you I need to know exactly what plugin adds that menu items. Send me download link from wordpress.org or .zip copy (to support email) if it’s a paid product.
I use provided paid products for the testing purpose and at my local desktop only.

Contact Form 7 – “Integration” menu item is protected by ‘manage_options’ capability. If role has this capability it will be shown at ‘Admin Menu’ dialog for that role:

When I block it, it becomes unavailable for user with that role:

I will answer, little later today.
I’m preparing bug fix release currently.

Try “Admin menu access” module:

Hi Kevin,

Re-check that test user really have role, for which you set “Admin Menu” restrictions. Try to re-assign that role to him (remove role, update profile, assign role back).
Check if you use some plugin with admin menu editing functionality, try to deactivate it, to understand if there is any conflicts between plugins.
Yes, show screenshots with ‘Admin menu’ window and what menu items are not blocked.

This module helps with limited access to the plugins list for activation/deactivation:

Restrict plugins available for activation/deactivation

Only selected plugins will be available to user for activation. All other plugins will not be visible at the “Plugins” list.

Hi James,

Good point to follow. Thanks. Let’s go in this direction.

[Vladimir]

It’s enough to deactivate, activate back for WooCommerce. It restores its roles and capabilities in case it loses them.

I need more exact information about other plugins: download links or copy for the paid products.
