Take into account this information about multiple roles assigned to a user. URE Pro looks for restriction model (Allow, Block) set for the primary role and if other value was selected for other roles, edit restrictions settings made for other role are ignored. Check if it’s your case. May be you need to grant to a user a role with edit restrictions as a primary one, or set the same restriction model for all roles granted to a user.

Hi,

Thanks for letting me know that you found a solution.
Just in case it will be helpful, URE Pro offers a custom filter ure_edit_posts_access_id_list. You can get a list of posts ID (comma separated string) allowed/prohibited for editing to current user via this hook.

Access restriction type (allow/block) is available via filter ure_edit_posts_access_restriction_type.

Hi,

My test showed that Divi Role Editor shows only roles which has ‘edit_posts’ capability. Try to add it to your role and check if it will become visible at Divi Role Editor after that.

[Vladimir]

We need to take into account also that, when we prohibit some posts by terms ID, posts without term are still available.

[Vladimir]

Just some information about post number counting accuracy.
“Division Access” taxonomy is used not by posts only. It is used by events also. So numbers ‘Posts->Division Access’ by categories do not show post number by this taxonomy terms, but some general number which includes events and posts together.

Thanks for the additional details. I meet a such issue the 1st time.
Is it possible to look at your site with ‘administrator’ privileges? If ‘Yes’, send login credentials to support [at-sign] role-editor.com

[Vladimir]

I meant under “All” one of the links to the posts list views: “All, Mine, Published, Drafts”.

Unfortunately I can not repeat the main issue from your report – empty posts list.
Can you check system logs at your stage copy for any PHP/MySQL errors which could be related to this issue?

[Vladimir]

Excuse me for such a delay with answer.

My test shows that ‘All’ posts list is empty for user with ‘ECD Curator’ role just in one case when there special constant for WP Engine is not defined:
define(‘WPE_GOVERNOR’, false);

You have it in a provided files copy. I just suppose that you met a problem with another (possibly stage) copy, do you?

I will continue with numbers count tests.

User Role Editor (URE) does not set any restrictions for administrator role.
Check if URE deactivation will help to understand that problem is related exactly to URE.

Hi,

Do those users has a custom role with administrator privileges or do you write about about users with ‘administrator’ role?

Do you use Edit restrictions add-on? If ‘Yes’, try to deactivate it. Will it help? If Yes, activate this add-on back and re-check if role(s) granted to user is restricted by add-on or user itself has restricted access to posts editing.

[Vladimir]

Hi,

This more sophisticated way requires more coding. May be I will write such add-on with time.

There is a plugin Revisionize which makes this. I did not tested it though.

Hi James,

“Hide Screen Options by user roles” feature is still in plans.
Thanks for the good feedback.

[Vladimir]

Thanks. I got it. I will try to isolate the issue.

[Vladimir]

Hi,

I tested a restricted user with WP built-in posts. Search function at the “Insert Link” window works as expected and showed a post, while it’s prohibited for editing, that is unavailable for this user at the main posts list.

Check if there are any JavaScript errors at the browser console.

[Vladimir]

Hi Sarah,

Can you share with me (support [at-site] role-editor.com) via DropBox or similar a copy of site files (without wp-uploads) and exported database (possibly without wp_users table)?

I will investigate your report using your own data then.
