User Roles don’t show in Manage Users page

  • Hey guys,

    I’ve been running two blogs sharing the same user base for a few month now. I started out on 2.3.2, upgraded to 2.3.3, and now 2.5.

    Before I go on about my problem, let me tell you how I share my user tables.
    I’ve got these two lines in both of my blogs wp-config.php file:
    define(‘CUSTOM_USER_TABLE’, ‘portallar_users’)
    define(‘CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE’, ‘portallar_usermeta’)

    And I’ve edited includes/wp-capabilites.php Line 168 to read
    “$this->cap_key = ‘portallar_capabilities'”

    All is working OK, but when I go to wp-admin/users.php, it only shows “All Users”, and doesn’t show links to list only Administrators, Editors, Authors, etc. When I go to users.php?role=administrator, it says “No matching users were found!”

    Anyone have any advice on why this could be happening, or how it could be solved?

    So, I’ve figured the problem out.

    When registering, a “portallar_capabilities” entry is created. But the sites are looking for their specific $wpdb->capabilities entries, namely “mz_capabilities” or “fm_capabilities”.

    Changing line 114 from wp-includes/user.php kinda fixes it. It starts showing links to how many admins/editors/authors/etc. one blog has, but still results in a “no matching users” error when followed. I haven’t tested if this breaks my previously-working “every user MIGHT have a different role, all stay the same unless I say so” hack, but it shouldn’t be a problem.

    PS: It feels like this topic will be my own personal area to keep track of what I’ve done regarding this problem. It looks like no one is willing to help. ??
