Hi Michael,

I understand your need. May be I will add with time a workaround especially for TablePress. I can recommend nothing currently.

[Vladimir]

While I may agree with you thoughts about user experience, I do not see currently the alternative to auto assign category to a new post created by a restricted user.
Ability to select a default category from the list of allowed categories sounds good for me. Thank for the suggestion. I will take this into account.

[Vladimir]

Just to be sure that a problem is related to User Role Editor (URE) – is a page loading faster for the same lower admin access user if you deactivate URE?

Right, if you set additional restrictions via URE add-ons, URE adds filter conditions to the related SQL queries and it adds time to the page processing if you have a lot of posts and pages.

Generally, caching plugin like W3 Total Cache or similar can help. WordPress will used the result of SQL queries from the cache instead of sending them to the MySQL server again.

Also you can revise the restrictions conditions which you use in order query checks less conditions. You can test with different criteria: allow or block. For example if block criteria leads to checking much more pages quantity, switching to “allow” criteria may enhance productivity.

Thanks for the remind and especially for your patience. I really missed this topic somehow.

I confirm that I will add this feature. I will try to make it available for testing as beta version in March, 2018.

Right, URE’s edit restrictions add-on works this way by design. I have a strong reason for this behavior, not one expected by you.

When you input category ID to the user profile such user is allowed to edit just post with that category ID. When user adds new post WordPress added a new post record and then re-open it for editing as the existing post. If this post will not have at least one category from the list of allowed for this user, user will not can to proceed with new added post due to edit restrictions applied to him.

URE assigns to the new added post the 1st category from the list of allowed categories automatically exactly for the reason described above.

[Vladimir]

Try to deactivate all plugins and re-test. If that will help, activate plugins back one by one to isolate a reason of a problem.

Generally WordPress returns -1 with 403 HTTP code for not authorized AJAX requests.

Menu item “WooCommerce->AdWords Conversion Tracking” is protected by ‘manage_options’ user capability.

[Vladimir]

Send me this plugin download link, if it’s available for free. I need access to its copy for checking what user capability it requires. If it’s a commercial product you can share its copy with me (support [at-sign] role-editor.com) via DropBox or similar service.

[Vladimir]

OK. Thanks for lettings me know.

Hi Dennis,

TablePress is not compatible with URE’s edit restrictions add-on.

URE’s edit restrictions add-on supports any custom post type managed by WordPress’s way.

TablePress works with custom post type ‘tablepress_table’ by its own, custom way. It uses custom post type as a data storage, but load related records to its custom user interface with some additional processing in the middle.

Hi Joe,

You can add code for filter to the end of functions.php file of your active theme
or setup it as a Must Use plugin.
WordPress executes as a MU plugin any .php file located at wp-content/mu-plugins/ folder.

Hi,

URE Pro may help you to restrict access the the products by categories for the selected role:

WooCommerce products – restrict view by category

You can assign manually such role to the customer as a secondary role after he purchased a product in order to open for him additional products.

Plugin will not help you to make this automatically.

[Vladimir]

Just to exclude – check the case if “Post View” for this user role has “Block not selected” option turned ON. This will block view of all posts if there are no other criteria inserted.

If that’s not the case, is it possible to receive access to a theme, plugins files and database copy of this site or stage site where you can repeat the issue? If Yes, share them with support [at-sign] role-editor.com via DropBox, GoogleDrive or similar.

[Vladimir]

Activate “Content view restrictions” back and re-check every post from this category if there is no view restriction at the post itself. Look at the post editor page.

[Vladimir]

Thanks for letting me know.
