Hi Alessandro,
How are “Select User Roles” on Nav Menu items intended to work?

Is it intended to be shown only to the selected roles (i.e. if selected user role is Subscriber then only subscribers will see the menu item and other roles will not.
Or is it a hierarchical selection – i.e. if the selected role is Subscriber, all the other roles with more rights will see that menu item, including Contrib/Author/Editor/Admin?

We have a menu item that we wish to show only to Subscribers. We do not want to show this menu item to other user roles.
If we select user roles as Subscriber it is shown to Subscribers and Admin. (Didn’t test for Contributor/Author/Editor).
If we select user roles as Editor it is no longer shown to Subscribers but is still shown to Admin.

Please advise.

Hi @gpatters

The “select user roles” option works according to the “display to” option you’ve chosen.

If you select “logged in”, all roles assigned to “select user roles” will be able to view the items. Roles not selected, won’t be able to view the items.

Hi Alessandro,
Again, thanks for your quick response.

Took a couple of days to get time to set up an offline test site as turning off other plugins and going to a default theme is inconvenient on the working site.

Still having the issue.
As you can see here only one active plugin – WPUM.
And using a default WP theme.
Here’s the config for the menu item set for subscriber role only.
But the user logged in with admin role still sees this menu item.

Hi @gpatters

You’re right, it seems I’ve forgotten a line enabled for debugging when I was developing that feature. It’s basically automatically adding the “admin” role to the list of roles even if not selected. I’ve just fixed it, but until I’ll release the update officially, you can download the fix from here https://github.com/WPUserManager/wp-user-manager/blob/master/includes/wpum-admin/class-wpum-menus.php

Download the file class-wpum-menus.php and replace the existing one onto your server in the folder wp-content/plugins/wp-user-manager/includes/wpum-admin/

Thanks for reporting the issue.
