User Role Editor Pro version 4.23.2

User Role Editor Pro version 4.23.2 was published at February 14th, 2016 and available for download and automatic update. This update includes 2 fixes for the “Admin menu access” add-on:

  • Core version: 4.23.3
  • Fix: Admin menu access add-on:
    1) It was not possible to block top level menu items when menu was reordered, by some plugin, like WooCommerce.
    2) Support for virtual ‘exist’ user capability was added. WordPress adds it automatically to every user.
    It was not possible to block ‘Visual Composer’ top level menu and its ‘About’ submenu item. These points are protected by ‘exist’ capability.

View and Edit restrictions – complex example

Imagine an organization with a few departments. Each worker should be capable to read the posts of its own department plus the posts general for all organization. Some workers of each department should be capable to create/edit posts of their own department only. Guests (not logged-in visitors) should view only general posts and should not view restricted posts related to the departments.
Such task difficult for the “just-from-the-box” WordPress may be resolved easy with User Role Editor Pro content view and edit restrictions add-ons configured together. Read more View and Edit restrictions – complex example
