Sure, that was a temporary server or network problem. Please try again.

It is probably CSS conflict with some other plugin or theme. Element ID or class may be the same as some other CSS file defined. Try to check via browser console what real CSS was applied to this element and by what file. Define the source of a problem by that CSS file path: in Google Chrome use F12, Elements…

Hi,

It is one time operation. So create wp-content/mu-plugins folder, create there remove_built_in_roles.php file ant copy/paste code below to that file:

<?php
add_action('admin_menu', 'remove_built_in_roles');

function remove_built_in_roles() {
    global $wp_roles;

    $roles_to_remove = array('subscriber', 'contributor', 'author', 'editor');

    foreach ($roles_to_remove as $role) {
        if (isset($wp_roles->roles[$role])) {
            $wp_roles->remove_role($role);
        }
    }
}

It will remove all built-in roles except ‘administrator’ from your WordPress.

After you will see that roles were removed you may delete this file from mu-plugins folder.

Hello Anthony,

Could you please show the screenshot?

Hi,

I do not publish URE at Github. It is not the official copy.

I published Pro version 4.18 today. It contains updated .pot file at the lang directory. Rename it to the ure-de_De.po and translate using poedit software.

[Vladimir]

Or wait 1-2 days. I plan to publish Pro version 4.18. And you will get it through automatic update service.

[Vladimir]

Probably you use Pro version 4.17, when standard version is 4.18. Try to Pro version 4.18 beta. You may take it from the same download page.

Version 4.18 adds capabilities for registered custom post types automatically.

[Vladimir]

It depends from what do you wish to achieve.
If you have no plugins or theme installed which added its own roles or user capabilities you may just use “Reset” button of User Role Editor. It will re-create roles from the scratch executing WordPress core code which WordPress uses itself during its installation.
Be careful with ‘Reset’ button and read this post before try this function:
https://www.role-editor.com/how-to-restore-deleted-wordpress-user-roles/
This post contains other ways you may go to restore needed state of site roles.

You may to remove your changes manually. For example, if you created some role, assign to users with that role some of WordPress built-in roles, then you may delete your own role using User Role Editor. The same is correct for new capabilities you added using URE.

[Vladimir]

Thanks for suggestion. I will check “User access manager” plugin and think on extending URE Pro’s functionality in this direction.

[Vladimir]

Hi Tony,

All changes, which you made with a help of URE Pro, were made in place – at WordPress user roles and capabilities storage (database). Those changes are permanent. They not will be rollbacked with URE’s uninstall.

In order to have a role, a user should login 1st. Not logged in user can not have any role.
As home page is available to the public I offer you replace those links for not logged in users with the registration/login links.
And add a filter for automatic redirection after login to the restricted page according to the assigned role. Like this:

add_filter('login_redirect', 'redirect_user_after_login', 10, 3);
function redirect_user_after_login($redirect_to, $request, $user) {
    
    if (isset( $user->allcaps ) && is_array( $user->allcaps )) {
        //check for admins
        if (!empty($user->allcaps['administrator'])) {
            // redirect them to the default place
            return $redirect_to;
        } else if (!empty($user->allcaps['candidate'])) {
            $redirect_to = home_url() .'/post-resume';
        } else if (!empty($user->allcaps['employer'])) {
            $redirect_to = home_url() .'/post-job';
        } else {                                                                                            
            return home_url();
        }
    } else {
        return $redirect_to;
    }   
}

Hi,
If you set any view restriction for the post, that becomes unavailable for public visitors or not logged in users. In other case a user with role ‘candidate’ may log out and easy post a job as not logged in user.
I suppose that not logged in users should not have right to send as job, as resume at your site.

[Vladimir]

Hi,

Please show on a screenshot to what menu do you wish to restrict access?

[Vladimir]

There are no such options in URE. These metaboxes are not managed by user capabilities. So you need to add custom code to remove metabox for selected role. Like this for page attributes:

function remove_page_metaboxes() {
if (current_user_can('some_role')) {
   remove_meta_box('pageparentdiv', 'page', 'side');
}
}
add_action('admin_menu', 'remove_page_metaboxes');

[Vladimir]

Very good news. Thanks for the help with tests.
I hope now that I will publish Pro version 4.18 soon.
