Do they search posts? Send me full URL (without domain but with arguments) where redirection takes place. You can make it under admin to copy resulting URL.

@sunny, I repeated this issue. Thanks. I will fix it with the next update.
Quick workaround – use “Block selected” model and “Admin menu” restrictions for this role.

[Vladimir]

Describe how it does not work. What’s going wrong? Does user redirected to the admin dashboard or something else?

Hi,

Thanks for the additional information provided by e-mail.

I confirm the bug you found. User Role Editor Pro “Front-end menu access” add-on removes one of the front-end menu items with the same title during menu saving. I will fix it with the next update.

‘Admin menu’ shows menu items, which are available for the current role only.
It does not provide access. It allows to block menu items to which you can not revoke access from a role via user capabilities.

For example some plugin uses ‘manage_options’ to protect its menu. When you grant ‘manage_options’ to a role, it receives access to the ‘Settings’ and some other menus from other plugins too. In order to narrow the access inside ‘manage_options’ capability you can use ‘Admin menu’.

So, 1st, you work with user capabilities, then build more granular access with ‘Admin menu’.

Hi,

Do you write about this “Max Mega Menu” plugin?
Show a screenshots with menu and item, which can disappear if select “Show to: NOT logged in”. I will try to reproduce your menu for testing.

Hi Garrett,

This filter is still available. Check if it was not changed something at its definition at your side.

[Vladimir]

In case you extend an initial role: make a copy from it, then add some additional capabilities, such synchronization would be achieved via multiple roles assignment to a user: initial role, 2nd role with additional capabilities. User will have a full list of capabilities as a result. Any updates applied to an initial role will be applied to such user automatically.

If you start from an initial role in order to narrow its capabilities list, then auto sync of new role with an updated initial role to difficult to realize, as you never know what to change automatically.

WordPress changes default roles very rare. It’s not too difficult to monitor such changes and add/revoke 1-2 capabilities manually after one of WordPress core updates was installed.

I do not see a need in a described functionality according to all of written above.

[Vladimir]

Use “Other roles access” add-on and block WP default roles for “Custom Administrator” role.

[Vladimir]

I suppose that you did not set any additonal restrictions with URE Pro edit restrictions add-on for the editor role copy.

The most probable thing which may take place – some other plugin is involved here. Can you deactivate all plugins temporally and check if other post are editable for new editor role?
If Yes, then activate plugins back one by one and re-test to isolate a problem.

[Vladimir]

Thanks. I will change this in a next version.

Hi Matt,

Can you provide me access to the “Car dealer press” copy for checking its user permissions? I Yes, use (DropBox or similar service) and send a link to support [at-sign] role-editor.com

I install commercial products from clients at my local development environment and use for the investigation purpose only.

Hi Jan,

Thank you for a remind.

It’s still possible only per user.
In spite of more than a year from the 1st post, this feature is still in the ‘ToDo’ list. I can not tell about an exact date. I just confirm, that this feature will be realized, may be this autumn.

[Vladimir]

and things worked fine.

OK.Thanks for the information.

i should either use allow or block, not both, right?

For the roles granted to the same user – Yes, quite right.
Primary role is always the 1st. It’s a way how WordPress defines a primary role – role with index 0 in a roles array.

Yes, user access model has a priority over a primary role access model.

[Vladimir]

I even couldn’t get the custom taxonomies to show/edit on dashboard until i gave edit_posts and manage_categories rights to the user.

It’s a bug from “Admin menu access” add-on. Thanks. I will develop a fix.

About different list of posts available to a user after you restricted him to edit a subset of posts by some criteria. Can you describe a step by step scenario in order I can repeat this?
