Hi,

Visual Composer (VS) button is not a true meta box. You can not block/hide it via “Meta boxes access” add-on. VC has its own “Role Manager”. Open “VC->Role Manager” menu item, select needed role and turn OFF checkbox for the ‘product’ custom post type at ‘Post types’ section just under selected role.

Information from Vonk Digital received by email:

I figured out the issue. Looks like some of the settings changed on the new update. I was able to fix the problem on my end! So you can ignore all my last messages.

Restrictions for plugins may be set as for role, as at user profile. Re-check is you don’t have any other settings for plugins access at this user profile.

I installed WP Rocket and recorded a demo video. It shows that:
1) I blocked access to WP Rocket successfully;
2) a copy of administrator role without URE capabilities works with “per plugin access” add-on as expected.

In could be a conflict with some plugin in your case. Try to deactivate plugins and re-test with different plugins subset also.

Hi Jan,

Use this filter.

[Vladimir]

Got it. Thank you.

[Vladimir]

Check also if some capability was assigned to the test user directly, not via roles.

If you provide me a copy of WP Rocket plugin (via Dropbox, or similar) I can look, why it’s not blocked and try to find a workaround.

Joel,

I wonder how this capability could appear in your roles, but it never should be granted to any role apparently. WordPress uses ‘do_not_allow’ capability when it decides to prohibit required permission. Try to revoke ‘do_not_allow’ from this role. Will it change something?

[Vladimir]

Thanks for the good feedback.
I plan already to develop/refactor the export/import module:
– allow export/import of single role for single site;
– include to the export/import add-ons data. Currently only roles are exported.
and, thanks for your suggestions, I will add:
– export/import for all/selected subsites at once.
This work will require 1-2 months.

Hi,

Check if you granted access to URE capabilities for this role by mistake. It should not have access to the ‘ure_manage_options’, ‘ure_edit_roles’ and especially to ‘ure_plugins_activation_access’ capability as it allow to change settings and restrictions you made.

[Vladimir]

If you have the same roles at all subsites you can restore roles at the main site of the network 1st, and then replicate roles from the main site to all other subsites – go to the “Network Admin -> Users -> User Role Editor” page and click “Update Network” button.

There is no feature to backup/restore all subsites roles at once currently.

[Vladimir]

Hi,

User Role Editor uses the same DB as WordPress itself does. More, URE does not create/use any custom DB table. URE stores all information at wp_options DB table (db prefix may vary).
Roles are updated in place – the same db record where WordPress stores its own internal roles. So if you lost user roles changes after restore DB from backup – it’s an earlier made backup, or backup made from other site or subsite of this multisite network.

Hi,

These user capabilities are required by Divi in order role can work with menu items under the ‘Divi’ menu:
edit_posts
edit_theme_options
export
manage_categories
manage_options
read
switch_themes

I tested with Divi verison 3.0.47.

[Vladimir]

Did you try ‘manage_network_users’ from a ‘Network’ group in addition to usual ‘%_users’ capabilities under ‘Users’ group?
It seems that such capabilities are required to edit members under multisite in addition to general ‘bp_moderate’ which is mapped in BuddyPress to the ‘manage_options’ capability.

[Vladimir]

I tested the Beaver Builder Lite version available at wordpress.org and can not repeat an issue. I suppose that you use the Pro version. Can you share BB Pro plugin copy (via DropBox or similar service) – support [at-sign] role-editor.com? I would try to repeat the issue and isolate a reason then. I setup such copies locally and use for testing/investigation only.
