Version:
v4.60.2
= [v4.60.2.b3] 17.09.2021 =
* Core version: 4.60.2
* Update: Marked as compatible with WordPress 5.8.1
* Fix: Admin menu access add-on: Blocked admin menu item "SEO->Workouts" (from Yoast SEO plugin) was still available as main menu item.
* Fix: Multisite: Add-ons data from the main site were not replicated to subsites after click "Update Network" button from the "Network Admin->Users->User Role Editor".
* Fix: Navigation menus access add-on:
* - PHP Warning: Undefined variable $result in /wp-content/plugins/user-role-editor-pro/pro/includes/classes/nav-menus-admin-controller.php on line 28
* - PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Unsupported operand types: string + string in /wp-content/plugins/user-role-editor-pro/pro/includes/classes/nav-menus-admin-view.php:146
* Core version was updated to version 4.60.2
* New: URE user capability 'ure_edit_gravityforms_access' was added (Pro version only).
* Fix: Multisite: URE_Editor::is_full_network_sync() returned FALSE, instead TRUE for the AJAX call, while call was made from the Network Admin (wp-admin/network/).
*: Multisite: it's possible to leave selected roles for selected subsites unchanged after "Update Network" applied. Add filter 'ure_network_update_leave_roles' and
return from it the array like this one - array( (int) blog_id => array('role_id1', 'role_id2', ... );
* Update: Posts/pages, custom post types edit restrictions add-on: child posts auto access takes into account all existing hierarchical post types, not only pages as earlier.
Use 'ure_auto_access_children_for_hierarchical_post_types' filter in order to change this. It takes the single input parameter $hierarchical_post_types - the list of existing public hierarchical post types.
* Core version was updated to version 4.59.1
* New: Multisite: When update role at the main site with "Apply to all sites" option and PHP constant URE_MULTISITE_DIRECT_UPDATE === 1 (update roles directly in database, not via WordPress API),
URE overwrites all subsite roles with roles from the main site. It's possible now to leave selected role(s) for selected subsite(s) unchanged: add filter 'ure_network_update_leave_roles' and
return from it the array like this one - array( (int) blog_id => array('role_id1', 'role_id2', ... );
* Update: "Other roles" section is available now only for users with 'promote_users' capability.
* Update: Notice at the top of URE page about action result is not removed automatically after 7 seconds as earlier.
* Update: 'ure_sort_wp_roles_list' filter accepts these values for the single input parameter: false - leave roles list as it is; true or 'id' - sort roles list by role ID; 'name' - sort roles by role name in the alphabetical order.
Core version: 4.59
* New: custom filter 'ure_set_cpt_own_caps' was added. It takes 2 input parameters: $do_it (bool, TRUE by default) and $post_type (string). Return FALSE for this filter in order to leave the default capability type for selected custom post type when option "Force custom post types to use their own capabilities" is turned ON at URE's options. If custom post type capabilities are not changed, related taxonomy capabilities are not changed too.
* New: custom filter 'ure_set_cpt_taxonomy_own_caps' was added. It takes 3 input parameters: $do_it (bool, TRUE by default), $taxonomy (string, like 'product_cat') and $post_type (string, like 'product'). Return FALSE for this filter in order to leave the default capabilities for selected taxonomy even if related custom post type will get own capabilities when option "Force custom post types to use their own capabilities" is turned ON at URE's options.
* Update: PHP constant URE_WP_ADMIN_URL was replaced with direct 'admin_url()' call to respect the 'admin_url' filter applied at get_admin_url() function.
* Fix: Navigation menus access add-on: action result message on success was not shown.
* Core version was updated to version 4.59
* Update: Editing roles and capabilities granted to selected user ("Capabilities" link under user row at the "Users" list) executes 'add_user_role' or 'remove_user_role' actions only in case it really grants or revokes roles and/or capabilities.
Previous versions fully revoked and granted again all roles during user permissions update even in case roles list was not changed. It was leaded to the false execution of the mentioned add/remove role actions.
