If it’s a paid plugin “Product Add-ons” from WooCommerce, can you share its copy with me via Google drive or DropBox? I use such software for investigation purpose only and at my local development environment.

[Vladimir]

OK. Can you tell me what plugin adds ‘Addons’ tab to the product attributes meta box? I need reproduce it myself to see what id it uses.

[Vladimir]

WooCommerce product editor page does not have ‘Addons’ tab by default.
Try to look at the ‘Addons’ link HTML source. What class does it use? Try to use tab ID from the begin of class name, similar to the links above. I suppose it may be simple ‘addons’.

There is no need to edit woocommerce source code. Use a [user_role_editor] shortcode is not a good idea. It works for the post/page content output only.

Try to use this solution a starting point.

Did you turn ON 1st the “Privacy related” checkbox at “Use additional capabilities section” at “Settings->User Role Editor->Additional Modules” tab?

[Vladimir]

Hi,

Admin menu item “Settings->Privacy” and selected “Privacy” page editing are protected by ‘manage_privacy_options’ user capability.
‘manage_privacy_options’ capability is mapped by default to ‘manage_options’ capability.

So after ‘edit_pages’, ‘edit_published_pages’, ‘edit_others_pages’ WordPress checks ‘manage_privacy_options’ (‘manage_options’ by default) capability for privacy page too:

/*
* Setting the privacy policy page requires <code>manage_privacy_options</code>,
* so editing it should require that too.
*/
if ( (int) get_option( 'wp_page_for_privacy_policy' ) === $post->ID ) {
	$caps = array_merge( $caps, map_meta_cap( 'manage_privacy_options', $user_id ) );
			}

URE Pro has a related option at the “Settings->User Role Editor->Additional Modules” tab – ” Privacy related (manage_privacy_options, export_others_personal_data, erase_others_personal_data)”. It’s located under “Use additional capabilities section” at the bottom of the form.
With this option activated URE maps ‘manage_privacy_options’, ‘export_others_personal_data’, ‘erase_others_personal_data’ capabilities to the ‘manage_privacy_options’, ‘export_others_personal_data’, ‘erase_others_personal_data’ correspondingly instead of default ‘manage_options’.

But due to some glitch discovered during recent test user with ‘manage_privacy_options’ capability still does not have access to the ‘Settings->Privacy’ menu item. It needs investigation and fix.

If you does not plan to give access to this menu item for your editor, that’s it. Just select ‘Editor’ role at “Users->User Role Editor” and grant to it
‘manage_privacy_options’ capability. It should be enough in order to allow to editor role to edit your pre-selected privacy page.

Hi,

I did not find any special changes for bbPress permissions/capabilities inside WOffice theme. It seems something is changing during BuddyPress/bbPress integration. Is it possible to get admin access to your site?
If Yes, I would make a copy of files and data to setup a copy at my development environment and look what is going with bbPress permissions using your exact site settings/configuration. If that’s applicable, send URL and login credentials to support [at-sign] role-editor.com

Hi,

I tested with WP Bakery Page Builder (former Visual Composer) and shortcode works for me. Do not forget that it works for for the text/content parts only.
Re-check if you input shortcode in the text mode (not visual). Try to place shortcode parts at the new lines, like here:

[user_role_editor roles="editor"]
Test Post 300 - for editors only
[/user_role_editor]

Builder may replace parts of shortcode in other cases.

Hi Sheila,

Hiding admin bar should not prevent access to the wp-admin. I suppose that you have some plugin which has option like ‘prevent access to wp-admin’ in its settings. Try to deactivate all plugins. Will user with such custom role get access to wp-admin? If ‘Yes’, then activate plugins back one by one with new test in order to isolate one which causes a problem.

[Vladimir]

Thanks for letting me know that you found an answer.

Hi Barry,

Thanks for the feedback.

URE does not include UI to turn ON for a role selected screen option (or in other words, show meta box). You can use this code though:

/**
 * Turn ON 'Slug' screen option for user with 'author' role at the Media Library item (attachment) edit page
 */
add_filter( 'hidden_meta_boxes', 'show_slug_metabox', 10, 3 );

function show_slug_metabox( $hidden, $screen, $use_defaults ) {

    if ( $screen->id!=='attachment') {
        return $hidden;
    }
    
    $user = wp_get_current_user();
    if ( empty( $user) || empty( $user->roles ) ) {
        return $hidden;
    }
    if ( !in_array( 'author', $user->roles ) ) {
        return $hidden;
    }
    
    $slug_key = array_search( 'slugdiv', $hidden );
    if ( $slug_key !== false ) {
        unset( $hidden[ $slug_key ] );
    }

    return $hidden;
}

Change ‘author’ to your own role ID and setup this code as a Must Use plugin.

[Vladimir]

“User Registration” plugin shows extra fields at back-end user profile only to a user with ‘manage_options’ capability:

public function show_user_extra_fields( $user ) {
	if ( ! current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) {
		return;
	}

	$show_fields = $this->get_user_meta_by_form_fields( $user->ID );
...

Hi,

WordPress by default uses the same ‘edit_pages’ capability for both “edit” and “add new” buttons. In order to change this go to “Settings->User Role Editor->Additional Modules” tab and turn on the “Activate “Create” capability for posts/pages/custom post types” option. URE will reconfigure WordPress to use ‘create_pages’ for ‘add new’ button as a result.

Take into account that URE automatically grants ‘create_posts’ and ‘create_pages’ capabilities to the ‘administrator’ role only. You may need to re-check your roles (contributor, author, editor and others) to ensure users don’t lose ‘add new’ functionality where they should have it.

Hi,

May be this code will give a starting point:

if (is_multisite()) {
    add_action( 'wpmu_activate_user', 'add_secondary_role', 10, 1 );
} else {
    add_action( 'user_register', 'add_secondary_role', 10, 1 );
}

 
function add_secondary_role( $user_id ) {
 
    $user = get_user_by('id', $user_id);
    $user->add_role('custom_role_id');
 
}

I will be out of office until July 31st.

[Vladimir]

Got it. Thanks.
I will proceed with subject investigation from July 31st, when return from a small journey.
