Hi Samantha,

That is fine.

FTP allows me to access the files, so that I can replace them. I’ll be only replacing my plugin files for debugging purposes. I’ll not break your site.

Thanks

Hi Samantha,

I don’t think I quite understand you reply.

How does your redirect work for the “Administrator” role? Since User Role Editor Pro doesn’t allow to set a redirect for “Administrator” role? When you say the “same exact thing”, what is that “exact thing”? Does it always redirect to a specific page?

One of your plugins/theme may be overriding the login redirect settings. It works using a filter. So the last code executed will control the redirect. Can you test with disabling all other plugins and changing the theme?

Thanks

Hi David,

What is the version of the plugin you are having?

Try updating the plugin from the “Dashboard > Updates” page. That page will display errors if there is any. Please paste the error message back here, if you see one.

Also do a “Recheck” within the “Go Pro” page (available from v2.10.1.3), that will force an update check again. Then try to update it.

Thanks

Hi Paul,

I don’t think I’m understanding your point.

Here is my understanding of WordPress and it’s roles and capabilities ecosystem. All roles are equal, WordPress doesn’t give any weight to a role based on it’s name. It’s weight is calculated by the capabilities a role has. It doesn’t matter whether a role is a default WordPress role or one created by a plugin. There is no such thing as primary and secondary roles (I named them like that for easy UI management). A WordPress user object has a roles array. This plugin considers a role as a primary role if it sits in the beginning of that array and all roles following that index is considered secondary (just by this plugin, not by WordPress). WordPress treats all roles equal no matter on which index a roles sits in that array. For example, you can have “Subscriber” at the beginning index and “Administrator” at the second index and you will be treated as Administrator. You won’t be treated as “Subscriber” just because it sits in the beginning.

Roles are WordPress objects. There is no such thing as WordPress role and plugin role. For example you can create a role through this plugin, that role will still exist within your site even after you deactivate this plugin.

I want my plugin to be inline with WordPress basics and it’s concepts especially when I’m working with WordPress objects. I won’t try to reinvent the wheel or workaround it. I will only implement a functionality if WordPress allows it through its filters and actions or is inline with the WordPress concepts.

Thanks

Hi Paul,

Right now there is no way to limit a user from changing just the primary role. From a WordPress point of view, this doesn’t limit that user from receiving capabilities, because a user can get any capability through secondary roles.

Do you mind explaining your use case? May be there is a different way.

Thanks

Syam

Glad to hear that your issue has been fixed.

Thanks

Hi Bryan,

How do you login to your site? Are you using a form created by a plugin/theme? Try loging in using wp-login and see if it works. If that works then its most probably because the plugin/theme you are using for the login form do not use the settings or overrides the settings provided by the user role editor pro plugin.

Thanks
