Contest Restricted when adding new roles

    Hello,

    Thanks for a great plugin, it has really helped me in my current project to restrict access to stuff based on what role the user has been assigned. However, I’ve found one issue.

    Along with this plugin I am using a Role Creator/Editor plugin to create new/custom roles. I have tested two different plugins for this; Members and User Role Editor, and they both result in the same problem. Whenever I create a new role, no matter what plugin of the two I just named, the Restrict Content By Role plugin sets restricted access for some posts (not all, but some).

    Does this plugin take inte account the creation of custom roles, and why do some posts get restricted access when I create a custom role? Is there some kind of default setting for this?

    Hi @filespit,

    There is a known bug in the plugin where any new role gets assigned to all posts.

    As soon as you create a role, you can go into the settings and ‘reset’ that role.

    That will fix it for you.

    One day I will have time to update the plugin. I just don’t know when that will be :'(
