I tested your site and got to a conclusion that the reason of the described issue with access to restricted pages of logged-in users as they are not logged-in is the caching plugin, which shows to a logged-in user the cached copy of a page which was built for not logged-in visitor and thus, contains access error message.

Thanks.
Is this happened if you deactivate URE Pro. I mean not access to front-end menu and page, but logged-in user state. Will it stay logged-in after 7 minutes without URE Pro restrictions?

[Vladimir]

Clarify, what URE Pro add-ons do you use:
– Did you set content view restrictions for pages?
– Did you set restrictions for front-end menu?

Hi,

You need to revoke ‘edit_products’ capability from a role in order user with that role does not see “Products” admin menu item. Did you?

[Vladimir]

Hi,

Good that you found a workaround.
I can not repeat the described issue though. Can you record a short video with the steps which I should do to repeat it?

I wrote a special module for exporting all user roles to CSV file.
You can get it from this link.
Read comments at file header as a short instruction.
I will integrate this code with User Role Editor Pro little bit later.

Hi Ismael,

Currently export of roles to CSV is not available at URE Pro.
I may add this feature if you will wait few days.

Hi Alex,

Select “Return HTTP 404 error” action instead of “Access error message” one. It will exclude post from all listings.

I forgot to mention that URE grants its own user capabilities (started from ‘ure_’) automatically to the ‘administrator’ role only. It’s happened on plugin activation. If user has another role, then ‘ure_’ capabilities should be granted to that role before it will see URE in admin menu.

[Vladimir]

Does your user (with superadmin privileges) has ‘administrator’ role?
URE hides itself from other users with access to plugins list.

URE may not add menu “Users->User Role Editor” as ‘administrator’ role does not get URE’s specific permissions during plugin activation. “Deactivate/Activate back” helps usually in such rare situation.

You may make another try. Delete plugins/user-role-editor-pro folder via FTP. Open plugins list – WordPress will deactivate unexisted plugin automatically. Then try to install and activate URE Pro again.

[Vladimir]

Is it WP multisite?
Do you write about “Network Admin->Plugins”?

[Vladimir]

Thanks for the help with testing and suggestion. I will realized it, with time…

[Vladimir]

Try beta version 4.49.4.b1 which contains a fix for the described issue.
It’s available from Downloads page after login.

[Vladimir]

Thank you for clarification. I apologize for the misunderstanding.

I reproduced the issue. It’s a bug. Thanks for discovering. I will investigate it and develop the fix.

I thought you specially try to restrict view of the forum topic and its replies with URE Pro “Content view restrictions” add-on. Is it wrong?

While you don’t set view restrictions at the topic editor “Content View Restrictions” meta box, this forum topic visibility is not restricted by URE Pro. It’s managed by bbPress user capabilities only.

Do you have a problem with all topics or with just the selected subset?
If the 2nd, check what option is set at “Content View Restrictions” meta box for that topic. In order URE Pro “Content View Restrictions” does not manage view of the topic you need to select “Allow->All visitors” or “Selected roles ->empty list of roles”.

Is not restricted topic visible when you turn OFF “Activate content view restrictions” checkbox at “Settings->User Role Editor->Additional Modules” tab?
