capability loading bug

I just tested this on WP 3.4.2 multisite with subdomains and don’t see a problem. You are scrolling down to click the Update button?

The role defs are stored separately for each site. Is that your issue?

I don’t see an Update button. I see a “Save Changes”. My steps are:
– select role in “Select Role to View / Edit”;
– press “Load”;
– deselect some capability;
– press “Save Changes” on the bottom
it save and reloads the page with the correct capabilities checked.

This saves the capabilities, and they work correctly. Now, if I, later:
– select same role as above in “Select Role to View / Edit”;
– press “Load”
it loads the default capabilities and not the ones I have just saved via “Save Changes”.

Hope this clarify. I have v1.4.8. Thanks!

One doubt: can you activate it through “Network Activate”, or do you have to activate it separately for each site?

Activation can be network or site-specific. Role definitions are site-specific regardless.

I’m still not able to create this error. What are the role and capability names involved? Do you have any other plugin or theme code related to role definitions which might be forcing them back to defaults?

What is the role of the logged user when attempting this role editing?

With
– super admin, then
– admin

I tried to change both:
– administrator, and
– subscriber
capabilities

just to be sure.

What are the capability names that you tried to add or remove?

Can you temporarily disable other plugins and switch to default theme to be sure there are no conflicts?

If this is/was a translated site and you previously used Capability Manager Enhanced 1.4.3 or earlier, it’s possible that the stored capability array is corrupted. If so, try Tools > Capability Manager > Reset Roles and Capabilities to WordPress defaults. This will only affect one site.
