WaleEven after restricting all other user roles but “admin” from being able to see options and make payments, I’ve noticed that users registered as contributors also have these rights on my site.
Hi Wale,
can you post a complete screenshot/print of your Options page? You can mark the reply as private if you want to, so other people won’t be able to see it.Have a nice day,
Stefano
WaleThis reply has been marked as private.Okay, could you detail some more on what exactly users see and shouldn’t see? Keep in mind that permissions set in the general options do not apply to users who have custom settings (look at the Personalize settings box).
Have a nice day,
Stefano
WaleUsers registered as “Contributors” see the stats for all roles even when the permission isnt set for them under options. Contributors also see the checkboxes that allow you pay even though this should only be visible to the admin.
WaleThis reply has been marked as private.Please look at the Personalize settings box and see if there are contributors with special settings. If they have different settings for Permissions, that’s the cause 🙂
WaleThere are no contributors with personalised settings. This error is happening will all users with Contributor role – even when I create a new user from scratch, the same thing happens.
Sorry for the delay, missed your post!
If you are fine with granting me temporary admin access, I can look into the issue myself directly 🙂
WaleThis reply has been marked as private.Thanks. I’ll create a new Contributor so I can test it.
This is what I see logging in as a Contributor, no Post Pay Counter menu (will remove the screenshot as soon as you have seen it, if you want to):
WaleSomething real strange going on. Try again now..
WaleThis reply has been marked as private.No, I still can’t (not with the ppc_test user as well).
WaleThis reply has been marked as private.The user is ppc_test. You can change the password to whatever you want so I don’t have to post it here 🙂
WaleThis reply has been marked as private.Okay, it looks like there is a bug with the Admins override all permissions feature (Miscellanea box). I’ve disabled it for now and Contributors see what they ought to. Will dive into this better tomorrow and release an update ASAP, sorry for the hiccup!
Do you have any plugin to manually change role permissions? Do you know if users other than admins have the capability manage_options? Thanks.

I think the answer to this was yes. Anyway, I’ve already fixed it and re-checked Admins override permissions 🙂
Hope everything is fine now!Have a nice day,
Stefano
