Unable to use wp-admin for non-admin users

Same problem here. Happened only after last update. Very annoying. Renders this otherwise excellent plugin unusable…

“You cannot edit these options”.

This issue arose from a commit titled: “vulnerability fix modification slightly”. You can see the issue on line 42 of advanced-ajax-page-loader.php

https://plugins.trac.www.ads-software.com/changeset?old_path=%2Fadvanced-ajax-page-loader&old=1448153&new_path=%2Fadvanced-ajax-page-loader&new=1448153

This issue can be fixed by simply commenting this line out.

The assumption was made that anyone who cannot manage_options shouldn’t be able to edit the plugin settings. However, this logic is inside the admin_init hook, which is ran on every single admin page whether you’re an admin, or an editor, or a subscriber. So the die function will run on every page in wp-admin for any user who cannot manage_options.

I request that the author of this plugin puts the code on Github so I can help fix these issues as they arise, I’m rather tired of fixing just my code and having to redo it every time the plugin updates.

Same problem too.

The plugin Flow Gallery from CodeCanyon was not working since I activated the AAPL plugin (part of the plugin like the menus was loading ok but every ajax-admin call was refused when not loggedin to WordPress). Then, nothin was displayed in the galleries and it throws no error messages.

Using the fix of Kcpt works great (comment line 42 of the file).
So much thanks to Kcpt, I searched a way to resolve this problem for hours.

I agree with Kcpt, it should be updated or modified by the author of AAPL.

Thanks @kcpt for the tip. Fixed my issue.

Any idea when you’ll have a tag out for this @barkins? We’ve been using a modified version for a while now.

Tag out @kcpt? What do you mean?

Next version release of the plugin with the fix in it…

I don’t know, but I’m not the plugin developer.

Thanks so much! I was looking for a bug in SearchWP Live Search causing this message. It was actually caused by this Advanced Page Load Plugin “Feature”.
