Hi,

Thanks for this report. I included the fix into development version 4.51.b2 (available for testing). I plan to publish it next week.

I don’t think it would be related to the users auto-logout though.

[Vladimir]

My test showed that WordPress itself does not limit access of user with list_users and promote_users capabilities in the role to any other role (‘Administrator’ role is hidden from such user by User Role Editor).
Look at this short video.

So I still suppose that some code (external for WordPress) is involved (plugin or theme).

Did you try to deactivate all plugins temporally. Will be access of user promoter to other roles limited in the same manner?

[Vladimir]

Generally, WordPress roles does not have any built-in (higher/lower) hierarchy.
Were those ‘gold’, ‘silver’, ‘bronze’ added by you or by some membership plugin? If other plugin is involved, it may add own permissions restrictions. To check this assumption, deactivate that plugin and try to promote gold user by gold user again.
Let me know the result of your testing.

Thanks for your constructive collaboration.
I found and fixed the issue, prevented to add-ons data copy to a new subsite in your case:
– Fix: WordPress multisite: add-ons data from the main site was not copied to a new subsite in case new subsite was created from front-end.

Let’s try the next beta version: 4.50.4.b2.

[Vladimir]

Let’s clarify the things:
2 things should be made together:
1) use beta version of URE which includes a fix;
2) properly install a custom code (you listed above).

I see that your site uses currently the stable version of URE 4.50.3. It has a related issue after WordPress 5.1 release and discussed feature does not work under it.

Show screenshot of the “Content view restrictions” section for the 2nd page, which should be accessible to anyone but it’s not.

[Vladimir]

Is it possible to check online? If ‘Yes’, send site link and superadmin credentials to support [at-sign] role-editor.com.

[Vladimir]

Open admin menu window for WP built-in administrator role, which has full list of capabilities and look what capability is used by ‘CV’ plugin to protect its menu.
URE shows admin menu for role according to capabilities granted to this role.

[Vladimir]

I confirm a problem with add-ons data replication from the main site to the new created one. They were not replicated as automatic replication of add-ons data is switched off by default. You need to set custom filter in order to tell to URE what add-ons data to replicate. Filter is: ure_addons_to_copy_for_new_blog.
In order to replicate “Plugins access” add-on data this line is needed additionally:

$addons['plugins']->copy = true;

2nd possible issue: Current version of URE uses ‘wpmu_new_blog’ action to execute own function for roles data replication. Starting from WordPress 5.1 this action was deprecated and process of new site creation was rewritten.
I developed the fix. It’s currently available as the beta version 4.50.4.b1.

Hi,

Does, such user has a single role assigned? If you grants multiple roles to such user, is role with restrictions for plugins granted as primary one?

What plugin adds ‘Clone’ button for your pages? Does superadmin still sees “Clone” button?

[Vladimir]

You can restrict editing with Edit restrictions add-on.
Look what’s more suitable in your case:
– turn ON “Own data only” option. User will see and can edit just his own posts, where he is an author.
– use categories as the team list and restrict access to the post by unique category ID for every coach. Such restriction will allow to a coach to post just to that specific category and see at the backend just the posts inside that category.

[Vladimir]

Thanks for this report. I will re-test the code, which replicates add-ons data from the main site to the new registered site with roles together.

[Vladimir]

Got a role file from you. Role includes “ure_manage_options” capability. User Role Editor counts a user who has such capability a superadmin and does not apply to him any restrictions. Having this capability user can go to the “Settings->User Role Editor” and switch off “Admin menu access” add-on. What’s the sense to restrict such user some how via URE?

[Vladimir]

Hi,

Did you block any admin menu item for this role with “Admin menu access” add-on?
If Yes, pay attention on the tech. details part of the article.

[Vladimir]

Lukas,

I meant that I need to know role ID and the list of capabilities granted to it.
You can export it and send file to support [at-sign] role-editor.com in order do not spend time on screenshots.
