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.

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.

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.

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.

WooCommerce v. 3.4.6. had a bug, due to which even superadmin at WP multisite saw only ‘customer’ role. That bug was fixed by WC developers now. Only shop_manager role is limited by ‘customer’role by default. WooCommerce offers custom filter ‘woocommerce_shop_manager_editable_roles’ which allows to change this default behavior without any version rollback or any kind of a hack applied to WooCommerce source code.
This filter is documented here and mentioned at this topic too.

I think having this solution in the mind there is no need in any intervention to this issue from User Role Editor Pro.

Hi Tom,

I made another test with ‘author’ role and can not repeat a described issue.
Is it possible to get access to a backup copy of your site (files except wp-content/uploads) and database created with UpdraftPlus plugin?
If Yes, then share .zip with support [at-sign] role-editor.com via DropBox or similar service.
I install and test such copies at my local development environment only.

[Vladimir]

Thanks for the clarification. I repeated the described issue. I will investigate it and work on a fix.

[Vladimir]

License key activation is not related to this issue.

Check if roles list is empty (not empty) at the “Users” page “Change role to:” drop-down list and at the “Role:” at some (not yours) user profile page.
I suppose your main site may lose roles record somehow.
