if you need more details please ask, I would like to solve this…

thank you johanl for your answer, great finding!

I’ll try that, even if I hope to get a cleaner solution since changing wp core files will cause to lose those changes everytime wordpress is updated.

Thank you for your answer, I hope next release will come soon ??

about what I changed in the “register-plus-redux-it_IT.po” maybe your translator would like to know:

on line 916:
<strong>ERRORE/strong>: Inserisci una password.
the tag was not closed

on line 859: (this was causing my second error)

La tua password dovrà contenere almeno %d caratteri. Per potere rendere più sicura la tua password, usa lettere maiuscole e minuscole, numeri nonché i seguenti simboli !@#$%^&*()

I don’t know why, but the character “^” was causing the error, I simply deleted the second part of the translated text. It solved the error for me, but maybe there is a cleaner solution for that.

I’ll let you know if get more errors, I’m going to use your plugin on a number of sites ??

ok, solved the second error, there was some problem on the italian translation files .po and .mo, I edited with poedit, if you want the correct version is here:

https://www.mediafire.com/?rjkf1hcrzeoqghk

the asterisk error is still there..

yes! that worked, the strange behavior is gone, and no error is showing, categories are being restricted, everything seems perfect now.

I’ll continue working on this site on the next days and will continue testing your plugin, I’ll let you know if something else appear.

Thank you again, both for the plugin and your help ??

here is a screenshot:

I checked only the category “Uncategorized” for the Editor, once I saved every other category for the roles below get checked and I have to manually remove the check and save again

is not a big issue anyway.. ??

windows 7 and xp under virtual machine

Since I am web designer I have many browsers installed to test cross-browser compatibility, anyway I normally surf the internet on firefox..

edit: I checked and it happens on ie, firefox, chrome and safary

oh it works! I redownloaded and applied the fix, the plugin now seem to work as intended.

You have not to be sorry since you are here giving us your support, this make the plugin already better than others where developers never answer ??

as a side note, just to know, is it normal that if I check the default wordpress category “Uncategorized” for any role, all the roles below get every category checked?

I’m very grateful you helped me with this, if anything I can do to help with the plugin… I know css very well, or if you need something like translating it to Italian or Spanish you can contact me.

Thank you!

nope, is test_capabilities

as a side note I tried the bad way :p

changing any istance of wp_capabilities in the plugin with test_capabilities, the plugin seem to start working, it restrict categories, but I get another error:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/www/test-site/public_html/wp-content/plugins/restrict-categories/restrict-categories.php on line 280

Line280:
foreach ( $settings[$key . '_cats'] as $category ) {

maybe mine is not the best solution…

edit: sorry I wrote while you where posting

Hi Matthew,

I have 2 roles set up right now, the meta values are:

a:1:{s:13:"administrator";s:1:"1";}
for the default admin

a:1:{s:11:"contributor";s:1:"1";}
for the 6 contributors i created

but now looking at the database one thing maybe you should know, in this database the prefix is not “wp_” many of us change the default table prefix inside config.php file

in my case the prefix is “test_” because I specified the var:
$table_prefix = 'test_';
in config.php

so I do not have wp_usermeta nor wp_capabilities but
but test_usermeta and test_capabilities, and so on…

Could this be the problem with the plugin??

Thank you.

oh sorry, I went to sleep, the wordpress version is the last, 3.0.1 english languange, the theme is twentyten,it is a test server, I’m testing some functionalities I want to include in a real theme, if it’s important the istallation for now includes just 6 users I created for testing a 2 categories.

if you want I can give you access to the dashboard, no problem for me if you have some spare time..

Thank you.

ok, deleted the plugin , uploaded again via ftp and activated, the error is still there…

If you want me to try anything else I’m here.

Thank you again

Tis is what I get adding that line

string(0) ""
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/www/test-site/public_html/wp-content/plugins/restrict-categories/restrict-categories.php on line 279

Like I said is a fresh installation with untouched wordpress running Twentyten theme, I’ll try deleting and uploading the plugin manually and let you know what happens.

Thank you for your answer,

I just udpdated but:

Downloading update from https://downloads.www.ads-software.com/plugin/restrict-categories.1.3.zip…

Unpacking the update…

Installing the latest version…

Deactivating the plugin…

Removing the old version of the plugin…

Plugin upgraded successfully.

Reactivating the plugin…

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/www/test-site/public_html/wp-content/plugins/restrict-categories/restrict-categories.php on line 277

I see this error on top of every page in the dashboard now….

PHP Version 5.2.6-1+lenny9

I tried to disable every plugin but restrict categories, no good.

anyway the previous error is gone, still no gategory restricted.

Thank you again.

exact same problem here just after installing the plugin the very first time on a new wordpress site.

the error is shown next to every unchecked checkbox, if you chack it the error is gone for that checkbox, anyway the plugin doesn’t work. No category is restricted.

Thank you for the support
