Thanks for the good feedback.

When you block admin menu item via “Admin menu access” add-on, URE blocks direct access to the URL linked to that menu item automatically. When user tries to type such URL in a browser URE redirects him to the 1st available admin menu item.

Hi,

You can block ‘Profile’ menu item for this role using “Admin menu access” add-on.

Hi,

Permissions assigned directly to users are not exported/imported by User Role Editor.
If it’s a single user it’s much simpler just grant capabilities shown at a production site page to at this user permissions page opened at the stage server.

If you wish to make it semi-automatically, you will need some SQL tool. Look at this command:

SELECT * FROM wp_usermeta where user_id=NNN and meta_key='wp_capability';

It shows user permissions stored by WordPress for this user at the database.
NNN – is your user ID.
‘wp_’ is database prefix here. So you have to change it at ‘wp_usermeta’ table name and at ‘wp_capability’ value if you have another DB prefix defined at config.php.

Then you can to copy/paste meta_value field value from the result to the previous command to a new command at the stage database connection:

update wp_usermeta set meta_value='copy/pasted value here' where user_id=NNN;

I see your role has all capabilities from ‘posts’ and ‘pages’ groups. It’s enough to edit any post or page, in general. You need to check if your role or/and user does not have any additional restriction, may be set accidentally or by other plugin.
1) try to deactivate User Role Editor and re-test;
2) try to deactivate all plugins and re-test.
In case if restriction was added by some plugin, activate plugins back one by one and make another test in order to isolate a reason.

Try development version 4.47.b1. It’s available after login from the Download page. It includes the fix for this issue.

[Vladimir]

Revoke ‘delete_posts’, ‘delete_publish_posts’ capabilities from this role.

[Vladimir]

It’s better to use current_user_can() for checking if capability was granted to a user or it was not. To check if user has role it’s more correct to use this code:

$user = wp_get_current_user();
if (in_array('some_role_id', $user->roles)) {
  // do something
}

[Vladimir]

Hi,

You should not call current_user_can() directly from mu-plugin code. You have to enclose it into some function hooked to the action when WordPress will load it’s core code already, like this:

add_action('admin_init', 'load_mu_plugin');
function load_mu_plugin() {
  if ( current_user_can('page-editor') ) {
      add_filter('page_row_actions','remove_quick_edit',10,1);
      add_filter('post_row_actions','remove_quick_edit',10,1);
  }

}

I got it. Thanks. I will work on a solution.

[Vladimir]

You are right. Divi theme does not register its custom post types for users.php page, so URE does not see/show them. It seems Divi code changed and related part of URE became incompatible.
What version of Divi do you use?
I have on hands v. 3.0.101? Is it possible to get from you a recent one for testing/investigation?

[Vladimir]

Hi,

If you write about categories selection meta box inside post editor page it’s possible to hide it from a role via “Meta boxes access” add-on. If you write about other element, show a screenshot, what do you wish to hide.

[Vladimir]

Static page selected as a “Home page” is available for editing by default to any user with edit_pages, edit_others_pages, edit_published_pages capabilities.
Did you set any additional edit restrictions for this role or user with this role?

[Vladimir]

Thank you for this information. This bug is fixed in version 4.46. It was published today.

[Vladimir]

Hi,

Edit file edit_mega_menu_walker.php, insert

do_action( 'wp_nav_menu_item_custom_fields', $item_id, $item, $depth, $args );

at the line #467, just after the ‘description’ field paragraph, like this:

<p class="field-move hide-if-no-js description description-wide">
...
</p>
<?php
  do_action( 'wp_nav_menu_item_custom_fields', $item_id, $item, $depth, $args );
?>

I hope it will help. In case of failure, I will need access to a full theme copy, to make own tests.

[Vladimir]

Urs,

“Network Admin->Users->User Role Editor->Update Network” makes exactly this:
1) replicate roles from main site to all subsites;
2) replicate selected add-ons data to all subsites.
