It’s the most probably file permissions problem. Set the same permissions to the user-role-editor-pro folder and all its childs (subfolders) as you have already for other plugins: 755 in general.

Hi Ryan,

OK. What if you try to update from the Update Center (Dashboard->Updates)? It shows more details about the reason of the update failure.

[Vladimir]

Hi Ryan,

General recommendations:
1) Check if valid license key is in place: Settings -> User Role Editor -> General tab
2) Check if file permissions at wp-content/plugins/user-role-editor-pro are correct

What error message do you see after click update link?

[Vladimir]

Thanks for the feedback.

Let me know more details about option 2. ‘User can see’ what is about? Quant of recent posts available for view at front-end? Or something else?

[Vladimir]

Share more details on your settings:
1) Confirm that Visual Composer plugin is active
2) Show a screenshot of the role and ‘admin menu’ window for that role (with which you get mentioned notices).

I will try to repeat this issue to isolate and fix a problem.

P.S. Numbers 4.25.2 included into changes list information are related to the free version of URE (core) on base of which Pro version is built. The latest version of URE Pro is 4.25.

[Vladimir]

Fixed at version 4.25 published today.

I confirm this bug. Thanks for the report. I will fix it with the next update.

Hi,

You may input as capability type a ‘formation’. Then add the set of capabilities like you have already for post or page to the user’s role. Then you will not need to give to the user permission to edit pages.

Or if user can edit posts, use ‘post’ instead.

[Vladimir]

Hi,

Could you send ‘Applications’ add-on copy to support [at-sign] role-editor.com?
I will look on the code and make some tests.

[Vladimir]

Hi,

Starting from the next version 4.25 special setting ‘Own data only’ will be available as for a user, as for a role. It will be no need in a workaround described above.
Development version 4.25.b7 is available after login from the Download page. It’s under testing currently.

Hi Jawad,

Test showed that ‘edit_posts’ is required in order may select a brand for the product.

[Vladimir]

Hi Jawad,

Brands plugin uses ‘manage_categories’ capability.

[Vladimir]

Hi Jawad,

Send brands plugin copy to support email. I will look at it.

There are no updates for those subjects yet.

[Vladimir]

Hi Jawad,

Thanks. I will add ‘x’ link to the right of every meta box to remove it.

Add ‘assigng_product_terms’ – enables to select, remove ‘edit_product_terms’ – removes ‘Add New Product category’ link.

[Vladimir]

Hi Jawad,

‘manage_product_terms’ capability is responsible for the product categories. Admin menu window is helpful in such cases.

WordPress does not have a global structure to remember all available meta boxes, as WP does with admin menu. Meta box becomes available when user opens a page for which meta box is created.

Currently URE remembers available meta boxes step by step when you open dashboard or post/page/CPT editor pages. It does not delete unavailable meta boxes automatically. Imagine another situation when you temporarily deactivated some plugin for the debug purpose, but URE deleted all restrictions you made for its meta boxes.

I agree that some cleanup should be possible. What if to add ‘Remove’ link to the right of every meta box in a list?
