I am so embarrassed.

Spent ages trying to nut this out, only to find that the default settings on the subsite is set to not show the login buttons and use shortcodes only.

Works great on Multisite.

Also an option to sort the links would be nice too.

Suppose thats what Free gets you. 5 months and still no answer.

Just an update and maybe an issue.

Worked out that it was a file in my root wp-config.php

If I am installing under a sub directory, why is it trying to use a file in the directory above it?

Doesn’t make sense. It should only be reading the directory its in.

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/user-role-editor/developers/

Clicking on the current version (including the new 4.5.1) shows as file not found.

Also I think you should somehow differentiate the caps that can only be applied to Super Admins.

If you look at it from a users perspective, they go to edit a users individual caps, see an option like Activate Plugins. Turn it on and save. When it doesn’t work, they assume that it is a problem with your plugin. Not every wordpress user has deep and meaningful understanding of the inner workings of wordpress, and most will not know that it is a wordpress issue not a User Role Editor issue.

Seperating them to identify that to users would be of great benefit.

Thanks for help again BTW. Best support i have seen yet for a plugin. Even when some issues come down to my own understanding.

As a feature request too, I would love to see a Network Admin Settings page, where one could edit everything globally as default. Some plugins already do this.

If it is deprecated, then why is it I have Show deprecated capabilities disabled, and yet it is still shows?

OK I understand that.

So why can’t I turn on for example Unfiltered html for that particular user?

I need this setting I think for WPEC Store Sales screen. At this stage my ONLY option is to add Administrator Role to the user.

Don’t really need it now I know how to fix it. Might be a handy feature in future thou to sync subs with master settings.

But one would expect naturally that if you don’t change anything and hit save, it would take current settings and save them, meaning if the db wasn’t right before it would be now. Having to change a setting hit save then change setting back doesn’t seem very user friendly.

The individual user caps issue is still there thou. No matter what I do to the roles, the user with that roles isn’t updated.

Users individual capability settings are still not getting what is being set in the roles.

If you look at the Shop Manager, you can see all caps are selected. Then go to the sample user and edit its capabilities you will see that not all caps are selected there, even thou all are on for the role.

I have a sample user there to test with too.

I was playing with the oranamodels one.

But after having the issues I went to the yourgiguide one to test again.

What I have noticed right now, is that I have to actually change a setting in the master then save to all sites for it to reappear in the subsite. So I may have to go thru each subsite manually and reset all the roles and such and will be very time consuming.

Still testing if resetting as above has fixed editing user capabilities.

Also just noticed another issue.

Under the subsite, I hit reset, reading everything and assuming it will reset to the Multisite defaults.

What happened thou is it deleted all custom Roles & Capabilities for the subsite, yet they are still there everywhere else.

So on the Master domain I saved to all sites a custom roles, and it will not add it to the subsite its missing from.

Sorry but there are still problems.

Did the above solutions in terms of the domain mapping.

I have a Shop Manager Role, and I set all capabilities to checked, then save for all sites. Get Update Successful.

Then I go into a sub site, and the Role as listed there is not the same. I try to change it in the subsite and it states it was successful but refreshes and doesn’t have the changes.

I also get the same when trying to edit the capabilities of the individual user.

Also another issue that is more of an annoyance, is that if you hit save without changing anything it returns an error message. I don’t think there was an error it simply didn’t need to save anything as nothing was changed.

PS: your accounts are still active.

No problem. You have my contact details when ready.

Thanks again for the help.
