Hi,
“WP simple booking calendar” protects its admin menu item with WordPress built-in user capability ‘manage_options’.
If you will grant it to your user role, you may block other critical admin menu items using “Admin menu access” add-on included into URE Pro.

[Vladimir]

Currently via a piece of custom code only. I will write one, and publish it here little later (2-3) days.

It may be other plugin settings. Try to deactivate all plugins temporary and re-test. Then activate plugins back one by one and make another test to isolate a problematic one.

Hi,

It’s possible to show ‘administrator’ role inside User Role Editor roles drop-down lists. Turn ON related checkbox at “Settings->User Role Editor->General” tab.

As you have active WooCommerce – this plugin automatically redirects to front-end any role without ‘manage_woocomerce’ and ‘edit_posts’ and ‘view_admin_dashboard’ capabilities. Such role will not have access to admin dashboard.

Role with admin access – create new role as a copy of ‘administrator’ role or just turn on all capabilities using special “bulk selection” checkbox at the top (to the left from the ‘Quick filter’ label.

Will developer install/change .php files (plugins/theme)? If Yes, be aware that user with such permissions can get full access to the site in spite of any restrictions made via WordPress user interface.

Editor role rename: I re-tested just now with success and can not repeat the described problem. Can you look at the server logs for related PHP/MySQl error messages?

You have to revoke capability from all roles except ‘administrator’ in order it become available for deletion.
If role or capability available for deletion is not really deleted there would be a server side problem. I ask you do the same – check server logs. May be it will help to identify a reason.

If it’s possible, you may provide me access to your site (support [at-sign] role-editor.com). I will check what’s going wrong myself then.

If URE shows ‘edit_posts’ for custom post type, then such custom post type really use ‘edit_posts’ and some additional capability may be required to work with this custom post type. I may say more if I have access to your theme.

Hi,

There is ‘edit_published_posts’ capability. User without this capability can not change post after it was published.

To @negociosparacasa:

Hi,

This page contains a short descriptions for the multisite network operations available with User Role Editor Pro.

[Vladimir]

Hi,

If “simple booking calendar” is a free software send here its download link.
If it’s a paid product share it via DropBox or similar service with support [at-sign] role-editor.com
I need access to a product in order to know what permissions it requires. I install such products in the local development environment and use for investigation/testing purposes only.

[Vladimir]

Right, with “not selected” blocking model, URE blocks any URLs different from the menu items. Links with different URL arguments list will be blocked and redirected until you apparently add URL arguments to white list as described at the noted “Technical details” section.

[Vladimir]

Did you restrict this user or role via Admin menu access add-on? It may be a reason of the described redirections.
If Yes, pay attention on the Technical Details part of a documentation page.

2nd, there is a user_can_richedit filter hook which may globally switch off a Visual Editor. Check if such filter was not added somehow to your site via plugins of theme files.

[Vladimir]

1st, check browser JavaScript console for the error messages. Visual Editor is realized via TinyMCE made in JavaScript.

Peter,

There is no visible reason for ‘aa_’ prefix inside permissions related database records until it may stay from the older data imported from the other database with such ‘aa_’ prefix.
These articles describe how WordPress stores it’s roles:
1) Single site;
2) Multisite.

WordPress multisite stores user permissions inside a single database table ‘wp_usermeta’ in assumption that database prefix is ‘wp_’.
So look what ID your user has and try to get all permissions records related to this user with query like:

SELECT * FROM wp_usermeta WHERE user_id=1 AND meta_key like '%capabilities';

and look if a record with ‘wp_capabilities’ meta_key value is there or it is not.

If it is not try to rename ‘aa_’ to ‘wp_’ and look if it will help.
As always, it’s a good habit to make a fresh backup before any manual data change.

[Vladimir]

If you restricted the custom role with Admin menu add-on pay attention on the Technical details part of the documentation article.

[Vladimir]

Please try a beta version 4.49.2.b1. It is available from the same downloads page after login and includes a fix of the “empty custom fields list” issue.
