User Submenu Setting Not Saving

I won’t be back in the office, where I can access my Test Systems to research this, for 2-3 hours.

But, in the meantime, I do know that that WordPress Setting can only be changed by a SuperAdministrator. I would be interested in knowing if you are a SuperAdmin when you are seeing this behaviour.

Thanks for the interest, and I will be back to you in 2-3 hours.

Thanks for the quick reply! I should have mentioned this is a multi site instance that I am the super admin of. My concern is for existing sites and when new sites are created this will be checked by default and my users already have quite a large number of menu items to have to sort through.

I just checked and you did find a bug in the plugin. I will get it resolved in a new released of the plugin, and have it out in the next 24-36 hours.

This is a single Network-wide setting, i.e. – the value set applies to all Sites. For now (until I get the plugin fixed), you can ignore the value shown in the plugin’s Settings and set it at the bottom of the WordPress Network Settings page:
/wp-admin/network/settings.php
The field is called “Enable administration menus – Plugins” in the Menu Settings section of the page.

Obviously, I was confusing this Setting with another (in another of my plugins) when I wrote the above.

I was correct in saying that this is a bug. I was incorrect both in saying that this is a Network-wide setting and that it is any way involved with the WordPress Network Setting “Enable administration menus – Plugins”.

As for setting a default for newly-created Sites in a WordPress Network, that will have to wait until I complete a Network Settings pages for the plugin, which I started some months ago, but it quickly became clear that it would take a lot more effort than I had initially assumed.

As promised, however, I will complete the bug fix of this setting not being saved within the next 24 hours.

I’ll update this thread when I release the new version, or have any other News to report.

Version 2.13 has now been released to address this issue.

After considerable thought, I agreed with your first statement and totally removed the plugin’s Settings submenu item from Users in the WordPress Admin panel. And any ability to display it there. In the interests of reducing Clutter.

Thank you for the quick update!
