Minimum Roles not working

    I don’t know if this has anything to do with latest wordpress update or not as I hadn’t really checked before.

    But “minimum roles” are not working.

    In other words, it is only targeting the specific role of the user. If user is let’s say level 1, they can see the menu if level 1 is checked and logged in.

    If it’s set to level 1 and they are level2 or higher they don’t see the menu..though they should since is should be a minimum role.

    Thank you for that information.

    This was s2member response:

    “Level 2 would have level 1 access capability, not role. The menu nav condition should be based on access capabilities rather than roles, if you want the incremental access.

    I guess I can figure this out from here.

    Thanks

    That’s pretty much in line with what I’ve been saying. Using caps would be more precise, but each menu item could have lots of caps… I decided ages ago the UX would be better by role, but it does create some gray areas.. especially with membership plugins.

    One of the 2 suggestions I’ve made should get it patched for you.
