User Role Editor version 4.7 was published at November 4th, 2013 in both (Free and Pro) editions. The changes applied to this version are:

• “Delete Role” menu has “Delete All Unused Roles” menu item now. “Unused” means that role is not assigned to any user in this context. Using this option you may cleanup your blog from unused roles with one command.
• More detailed warning was added before fulfill “Reset” roles command in order to reduce accident use of this critical operation.
  Once more – “Reset” deletes all current roles and executes WordPress core routine to re-create the standard WordPress roles only as they were just after fresh WordPress installation. Use this feature with care in order do not use later the recommendations from the warning message.
• Bug was fixed at Ure_Lib::reset_user_roles() method. Method did not work correctly for the rest sites of the network except the main blog.
• Pro version: Post/Pages editing restriction could be setup for the user by one of two modes: ‘Allow’ or ‘Prohibit’.
• Pro version: Shortcode [user_role_editor roles=”role1, role2, …”]bla-bla[/user_role_editor] for posts and pages was added.

You may restrict access to content inside this shortcode tags this way to the users only who have one of the roles noted at the “roles” attribute.

• Pro version: If license key was installed it is shown as asterisks at the input field.
• Pro version: In case site domain change you should input license key at the Settings page again.

User Role Editor Pro version 4.6.0.2 is available for downloads and update. This update concerns the roles import functionality and includes:

• Bug fix: Invalid notice “Unknown error: Roles import was failed” was shown after successful roles import to the single WordPress site.
• Update: Spaces in user capability are allowed for import to provide compatibility with other plugins, which use spaces in user capabilities, e.g. NextGen Gallery’s “NextGEN Change options”, etc.

General restriction for usage of spaces inside user role capability ID is left untouched in the User Role Editor. Less strict checking is allowed only for the import operation.

October 26th, 2013 User Role Editor Pro version 4.6.0.1 was published. It is the bug fix release. No any new functionality was added.
Fatal PHP error occurred if user tried to view Gravity Forms entries or WooCommerce coupons, after turning on the “Activate user access management to editing selected posts and pages” option.
Please update from version 4.6, if you met similar problem.

User Role Editor version 4.6 is available for download in both (free and Pro) versions. The changes are:
– Content editing restriction: It is possible to differentiate permissions for posts/pages creation and editing. Use the “Activate “Create Post/Page” capability” option for that.
Turning on this option you automatically add “create_posts” and “create_pages” capabilities to the list of WordPress core user capabilities. After that user with “edit_posts” capability (even administrator) will can not create new post or page until you apparently include this capability to his user role. “edit_posts” will permit just to edit posts. Go to “User Role Editor” and turn on “create_posts”, “create_pages” capability” for “Administrator” role and other roles of your choice after this option activation.
