Awesomely quick work Ryan! Works a treat – thanks again for your rapid response ??

Same here ?? – waiting anxiously!

Sorry for the late reply @lifeinthegrid – I finally got to the bottom of the problem. Unfortunately for others experiencing this it came down to a geo-block from the server in response to the Heartbleed bug. Thanks for taking the time to respond though – much appreciated and kudos for your support!

Who marked this post as resolved?????

Thanks @lifeinthegrid – this has never been an issue before and has now happened across multiple sites on different servers. Packages are created and downloaded from the same server (our dev enviro) and uploaded and installed. Once installed on the new server (the live enviro), our dev in the Philippines, who performed the clone / install, is not able to access wp-admin area at all.

Why would this suddenly be an issue when it hasnt been before?

Oh ok – I misunderstood sorry feebleTom! My little code scrap just hides the manage and create buttons from the help tabs. Well done on finding a solution though!

a bit of a hack, but put this in your functions.php

add_action('admin_head','admin_css');
function admin_css()
{
	if(!current_user_can('publish_posts'))//only authors and above can publish posts
	{
	?>
		<style>
                #cws-wp-help-actions
                {
                   display:none;
                }
                </style>
        <?php
	}
}

This simply hooks into the admin_head function and hides the manage buttons if the user is anything below an Author. Not ideal but effective!

Im getting similar to this on posts:

<meta name="description" content="In Volume: 2 Edition: 1 Newsletter you will see the results of our efforts for the Special Olympics Penguin Plunge Charity Drive, as well as other events and" />
<meta name="keywords" content="ccc newsletters" />

And this simliar to this on pages:

<meta name="description" content="Classy Catering Creations Menu Planning Service delivers fully personalized menu plans to your email inbox weekly or monthly. Each email includes a complete ..." />
<meta name="keywords" content="meal,meal planning,meal services,meal planning services,classy catering creations" />

Im seeing descriptions and keywords generated by AIOSEO on every page I click on??

If you look at the options – you will see the plugin will auto generate meta keywords for POSTS (not pages) and auto generate meta descriptions for both

Have you got a URL you can show?

Im not sure you’ll have to (edit SEO options for each post) – just tick the box up the top that selects all posts, then select edit from the bulk actions drop-down, then click apply. Should present you with a panel of all posts selected. Just hit “update” on the right had side and it should update all posts.

Note: this is untested, just thinking that the posts just need to be updated for the new SEO plugin to take effect on them, seeing as it works for new posts.

Have you tried selecting all posts / pages and doing a bulk action “edit” > apply, then just hitting “update”?

You could try All-in-one SEO pack plugin and configure the options in settings – should work perfectly

I have tried the following and the problem still exists:

$new = new WP_User($current_user->ID);
$new->set_role('editor');

wp_cache_delete( $new->ID, 'users' );
wp_cache_delete( $new->user_login, 'userlogins' );
wp_cache_delete( $new->user_email, 'useremail' );
wp_cache_delete( $new->user_nicename, 'userslugs' );
do_action('profile_update');

Any thoughts?

UPDATE #2

I have also tried the following to no avail:

$user = new WP_User($unpaid->uid);
$user->set_role('editor');
if(!$user->has_cap('edit_posts'))
{
    $user->add_cap('edit_posts');
}

(where my menu items are available to users with “edit_posts” capabilites
