Hi Tony,

All changes, which you made with a help of URE Pro, were made in place – at WordPress user roles and capabilities storage (database). Those changes are permanent. They not will be rollbacked with URE’s uninstall.

In order to have a role, a user should login 1st. Not logged in user can not have any role.
As home page is available to the public I offer you replace those links for not logged in users with the registration/login links.
And add a filter for automatic redirection after login to the restricted page according to the assigned role. Like this:

add_filter('login_redirect', 'redirect_user_after_login', 10, 3);
function redirect_user_after_login($redirect_to, $request, $user) {
    
    if (isset( $user->allcaps ) && is_array( $user->allcaps )) {
        //check for admins
        if (!empty($user->allcaps['administrator'])) {
            // redirect them to the default place
            return $redirect_to;
        } else if (!empty($user->allcaps['candidate'])) {
            $redirect_to = home_url() .'/post-resume';
        } else if (!empty($user->allcaps['employer'])) {
            $redirect_to = home_url() .'/post-job';
        } else {                                                                                            
            return home_url();
        }
    } else {
        return $redirect_to;
    }   
}

Hi,
If you set any view restriction for the post, that becomes unavailable for public visitors or not logged in users. In other case a user with role ‘candidate’ may log out and easy post a job as not logged in user.
I suppose that not logged in users should not have right to send as job, as resume at your site.

[Vladimir]

Hi,

Please show on a screenshot to what menu do you wish to restrict access?

[Vladimir]

There are no such options in URE. These metaboxes are not managed by user capabilities. So you need to add custom code to remove metabox for selected role. Like this for page attributes:

function remove_page_metaboxes() {
if (current_user_can('some_role')) {
   remove_meta_box('pageparentdiv', 'page', 'side');
}
}
add_action('admin_menu', 'remove_page_metaboxes');

[Vladimir]

Very good news. Thanks for the help with tests.
I hope now that I will publish Pro version 4.18 soon.

[Vladimir]

Thanks for the information.
40000 users is an interesting experience. I never tested URE’s code against so strong users quantity. You met PHP script interruption for the reason of script time execution limit, probably.
I will try to find a decision and inform you then.

[Vladimir]

Hi,

Please try version 4.18.b8. You may download it after login from this page:
https://www.role-editor.com/download-plugin/

[Vladimir]

This plugin uses deprecated user levels.
Update it manually:
replace

add_submenu_page('users.php', 'UserCategory', 'User assign categories', 10, basename(__FILE__), array('UserCategory', 'uscat_form'));

with

add_submenu_page('users.php', 'UserCategory', 'User assign categories', 'delete_users', basename(__FILE__), array('UserCategory', 'uscat_form'));

and this menu item will become available at “Admin menu” dialog of User Role Editor.

[Vladimir]

Yes. Turn on or add manually to the administrator role the user capabilities from the 2nd column of this screenshot

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback and detailed explanation. I see now that it could be a valuable extension to this add-on functionality. I will contact you soon (1-2 days) with ask to test the updated version.

[Vladimir]

I made screenshot from “Admin menu access” add-on opened for ‘Administrator’ role at User Role Editor:
https://www.role-editor.com/block-admin-menu-items
But menu should be available in order to see it at “Admin menu” window.

I suppose that you may lost shown TablePress capabilities somehow. Check if they included to your ‘Administrator’ role. If not, try to reactivate TablePress plugin. In case it will not recreate its capabilities during activation, try to add them to ‘Administrator’ role manually.

[Vladimir]

Hello!

Admin menu is shown for Administrator role in readonly mode by design. Thus you can not block menu items for Administrator role.

Do you think it will be useful to allow to use this add-on for Administrator role too, in case you are a superadmin at WordPress multisite?

[Vladimir]

Those shortcodes work inside post or page content only:

This plugin may help you a lot with widgets conditional hide/show:

[Vladimir]

As about TablePress, I see its menu with active URE. Check if your administrator role includes these capabilities:
