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.

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.

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.

‘ure_restrict_edit_post_type’ filter influences to the whole post type (restrict it or do not restrict), not on the current post only. So condition

has_term( 'finance-resources', 'department' )

is not applicable here.

What if to use another blocking model, that is ‘Block’ instead of ‘Allow’. Then URE will hide blocked terms, but any other will still be available.
For example you have categories: 1, 3, 8, 9, 15 and a lot of terms from other taxonomies. You wish to allow to edit just category 3 from the “Categories” taxonomy. Then select “Block” and input into categories ID list field: 1, 8, 9, 15. It should give you a need effect.

I will add a custom filter for terms ID list into the next version. So it will be possible to set the list of prohibited posts by program not manually, which will provide a possibility of a more universal solution.

Manage restrictions directly for the different taxonomies available for the same post type seems a complex task, due to data structure used by WordPress. I suppose also that this feature is not in a high-demand category.

There is a ‘ure_edit_posts_access_id_list’ custom filter which allows to set posts ID list to allow or block for editing.
So you can scan posts list for current user role and built a posts-list by your own checking any terms and taxonomies for the single post from a list of available posts.

It’s possible to set a restriction type via custom filter too. For example:

add_filter('ure_edit_posts_access_restriction_type', 'ure_edit_posts_access_set_restriction_type');

function ure_edit_posts_access_set_restriction_type($restriction_type) {
 
    $restriction_type = 2; // Block 
    
    return $restriction_type;
}

Hi,

Do you use WordPress built-in front-end menu to show those links? If ‘Yes’, you can use ‘Front-end menu access’ add-on and setup, what role can see what menu item.

[Vladimir]

Hi,

I can not repeat an issue and thus – isolate a reason. What will be if you deactivate User Role Editor Pro at all?

Look at a browser JavaScript console also. Are there any error messages before and after click “Live Editor” link at top admin menu bar?

Does ‘Live Editor’ toolbar button work if a user with custom role will click it from the regular edit page?

[Vladimir]

I added ‘_wpnonce’ just in case… There is other link (Duplicate) at the page which contains this argument.
