Can’t disable “Clean existing Roles”

  • It seems after upgrading to 2.0.13 when users login they are getting their roles set to NULL. The “Clean existing Roles” option seems to be the culprit, but the option cannot be disabled – when unchecked and settings saved successful, the option is still enabled.

  • Hey twesty,
    Thank you for reporting this problem to us. I was able to reproduce the problem in a WordPress Single Site environment. I will now start debugging the problem and speak with my team whether we rollback 2.0.13 or push a hotfix asap.

    Hello twesty,
    we tested it on different machines and it looks like a caching problem to us. Can you please try to load the page without cache and tell me if it works ?

    Thank you

    We have it happening here as well on 2 sites and I know it has nothing to do with caching, will go through and deactivate plugins in just a bit and provide a list, let you know if there are any conflicts that I can see.

    As far as I can tell without even looking into plugins is that half of my sites now are completely missing the next_ad_int_bo_v_clean_existing_roles table from the wp_options table in the DB. I was able to fix this with adding a new row,

    INSERT INTO wp_options (option_id, option_name, option_value, autoload)
VALUES ('youruniquenumberhere','next_ad_int_bo_v_clean_existing_roles','','no');

    Hey dpope0824,
    thanks to your reply I found the problem. You were right that the problem has nothing to do with the cache as we assumed earlier. The problem is our way of storing boolean values (true / false) in combination with the WordPress methode “update_blog_option”. We will fix this problem as soon as possible. Until then you can temporary fix this bug by pressing “Save” on your configuration page once with “Clean existing roles” checked. After that it should be possible to disable the option as intended.

    Thank you again

    Thx, I reported the same problem. Good to know at least a workaround.
