Good! Thanks.

[Vladimir]

Sorry, that was my fault. I did not pay attention on the word ‘specific’ at your 1st message.
Current version does not include the interface to restrict editing posts/pages by role. It is good feature request and I will add this functionality to Pro version with time.
Now you may use this piece of code to prohibit your users with ‘editor’ role access to the list of pages:

if (is_blog_admin() && current_user_can('editor')) {
    add_action('pre_get_posts', 'restrict_posts_list');
    function restrict_posts_list($query) {

            $suppressing_filters = $query->get('suppress_filters'); // Filter suppression on?

            if ($suppressing_filters) {
                return query;
            }


            if ($query->query['post_type']=='page') {            
                $posts_restriction_type = 2; // Prohibit
                $posts_list = array(442, 484);   // comma separated list of pages IDs
                if ($posts_restriction_type==1) {   // Allow
                    $query->set('post__in', $posts_list);
                } else {    // Prohibit
                    $query->set('post__not_in', $posts_list);
                }
            }

            return $query;
    }
    // restrict_posts_list()
}

Replace pages ID at $posts_list array and add this code to your active theme functions.php file.

I will publish version 4.16 at September, 15th, approximately.

[Vladimir]

I do not see your question.

[Vladimir]

1) Select needed role.
2) Input ‘pages’ to the ‘Quick Filter’ field. All user capabilities related to the ‘pages’ will be selected.
3) Unselect them all.
4) Update role.
Users with this role will not have access to adding/editing/deleting any pages.

[Vladimir]

Thanks for the information.
No, I can not advise you a suitable booking solution.

[Vladimir]

Yes, I see. ‘Booking Wis’ plugin requires the “Administrator” role for access to all its menu items. It is the real problem.

Quick workaround: modify ‘Booking Wis’ source code. I may do it for you in case you send me this plugin installation package (support [at-sign] role-editor.com

I will try to add the feature to replace menu capability which was set by plugin in order to resolve the similar issues. It may require a few days…
It could not help in case plugin author checks user rights not in the menu definitions only, but at his source code directly, like:

if (!current_user_can('administrator') {
    echo 'Not sufficient permissions!';
    die;
}

[Vladimir]

It is valid now. I removed the real license code from your reply.
Let’s see how automatic update feature will work for you with the next update. Or you may change manually version number at the top of user-role-editor-pro.php file to the “Version: 4.14” for example and check for the updates.

[Vladimir]

Done – shinephp [at-sign] gmail.com

[Vladimir]

Thanks.
I see from this data that the license key is definitely corrupted. Please re-insert it and let’s monitor if it will be in place and un-touched.

[Vladimir]

Administrator role copy should work in the most of cases, except some plugins, which requires directly the ‘administrator’ role. If you have a problem, let’s try to research the reason together and find the solution.

[Vladimir]

Thanks for the information.
Do you use the latest version 4.15?
Any chance to repeat the issue according to the step by step description?

Known issues:
1) ‘Themes’ and ‘Customize’ menu items of ‘Appeance’ menu are not shown at the list of menu items to block and as the result they leave unblocked. It was fixed in the upcoming version 4.15.1
2) Corresponding front end top bar admin menu items is not blocked. I plan to fully hide it for roles which has blocked menu items.

[Vladimir]

Hi,

Admin menu blocking module may help with 2nd case:

FYI: I checked server log for the recent 3 days (from September 1st) and found that there are no the update information requests with your license keys.
So I suppose that license key at problematic installation is empty (@printrbot, I saw your screenshot from URE settings page). Lets, re-check. If you’re familiar with SQL try to extract URE options from the WordPress database with this command (replace ‘wp_’ with your custom database prefix if needed):

select * from wp_options where option_name='user_role_editor';

and look for the ‘license_key’ string inside option_value field content. Is it not empty and does it contain valid license key?

[Vladimir]

Thanks for the information.

@alamodfw – please check, if license code was not missed at the URE Options page. It may be empty – there was an issue in previous versions.

I see the 404 error in my server logs for update information request from rare IP-addresses. The most of such requests including my own work as expected.

If you have URE Pro installed on multiple servers – is this problem occur at all installations?
Let me know the IP-address of the server where automatic update not available. I will check it against my logs.

As the issue is not related to the FAQ section and may be a local problem I offer to proceed this conversation via email – support [at-sign] role-editor.com

Regards,
Vladimir.
