  • 30.07.2015
  • It is possible to assign to the user multiple roles directly through a user profile edit page.
  • Custom SQL-query (checked if the role is in use and slow on the huge data) was excluded and replaced with WordPress built-in function call. Thanks to Aaron.
  • Bulk role assignment to the users without role was rewritten for cases with a huge quant of users. It processes just 50 users without role for the one request to return the answer from the server in the short time. The related code was extracted to the separate class.
  • Code to fix JavaScript and CSS compatibility issues introduced by other plugins and themes, which load its stuff globally, was extracted into the separate class.
  • Custom filters were added: 'ure_full_capabilites' - takes 1 input parameter, array with a full list of user capabilities visible at URE, 'ure_built_in_wp_caps' - takes 1 input parameter, array with a list of WordPress core user capabilities. These filters may be useful if you give access to the URE for some not administrator user, and wish to change the list of capabilities which are available to him at URE.
  • Dutch translation was updated. Thanks to Gerhard Hoogterp.
4.18.4 2015-05-03
  • 30.04.2015
  • Calls to the functions add_query_arg(), remove_query_arg() are escaped with esc_url_raw() to exclude potential XSS vulnerabilities. Nothing critical: both calls of add_query_arg() are placed at the currently unused sections of the code.
  • Italian translation was updated. Thanks to Leo.
4.18.3 2015-02-24
  • 24.02.2015
  • Fixed PHP fatal error for roles reset operation.
  • Fixed current user capability checking before URE Options page open.
  • 3 missed phrases were added to the translations files. Thanks to Morteza
  • Hebrew translation updated. Thanks to atar4u
  • Persian translation updated. Thanks to Morteza
4.18.2 2015-02-06
  • 06.02.2015
  • New option "Edit user capabilities" was added. If it is unchecked - capabilities section of selected user will be shown in the readonly mode. Administrator (except superadmin for multisite) can not assign capabilities to the user directly. He should make it using roles only.
  • More universal checking applied to the custom post type capabilities creation to exclude not existing property notices.
  • Multisite: URE's options page is prohibited by 'manage_network_users' capability instead of 'ure_manage_options' in case single site administrators does not have permission to use URE.
  • URE protects administrator user from editing by other users by default. If you wish to turn off such protection, you may add filter 'ure_supress_administrators_protection' and return 'true' from it.
  • Plugin installation to the WordPress multisite with large (thousands) subsites had a problem with script execution time. Fixed. URE does not try to update all subsites at once now. It does it for every subsite separately, only when you visit that subsite.
  • Fixed JavaScript bug with 'Reset Roles' for FireFox v.34.
4.18.1 2014-12-14
  • 14.12.2014
  • As activation hook does not fire during bulk plugins update, automatic plugin version check and upgrade execution were added.
4.18 2014-12-14
  • 14.12.2014
  • Own custom user capabilities, e.g. 'ure_edit_roles' are used to restrict access to User Role Editor functionality (read more).
  • Multisite: You may allow to the users without superadmin privileges to add/create site users without sending them email confirmation request.
  • Bug fix: when non-admin user updated other user profile, that user lost secondary roles.
  • Italian translation was added. Thanks to Giuseppe Velardo.
4.17.3 2014-11-23
  • 23.11.2014
  • French and Turkish translation were updated. Thanks to Transifex translation team.
4.17.2 2014-10-21
  • 21.10.2014
  • Notice: "Undefined property: Ure_Lib::$pro in .../class-user-role-editor.php on line 550" was fixed.
  • Settings help screen text was updated.
  • Russian translation was updated.
  • Hungarian translation was updated. Thanks to Nmeth Balzs.
  • French and Turkish translation are updated. Thanks to Transifex translation team.
4.17.1 2014-10-01
  • 01.10.2014
  • Bug fix for the PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_plugin_active_for_network(). It may take place under multisite only, in case no one of the other active plugins load file with this function already before User Role Editor v. 4.17 tries to call it.
4.17 2014-10-01
  • 01.10.2014
  • Multisite (update for cases when URE was not network activated): It is possible to use own settings for single site activated instances of User Role Editor. Earlier User Role Editor used the settings values from the main blog only located under "Network Admin - Settings". Some critical options were hidden from the "Multisite" tab for single site administrators and visible to the superadmin only. Single site admin should not have access to the options which purpose is to restrict him. Important! In case you decide to allow single site administrator activate/deactivate User Role Editor himself, setup this PHP constant at the wp-config.php file: define('URE_ENABLE_SIMPLE_ADMIN_FOR_MULTISITE', 1); Otherwise single site admin will not see User Role Editor in the plugins list after its activation. User Role Editor hides itself under multisite from all users except superadmin by default.
  • Help screen for the Settings page was updated.
  • Hungarian translation was added. Thanks to Nmeth Balzs.
  • Dutch translation was added. Thanks to Arjan Bosch.
4.16 2014-09-11
  • 11.09.2014
  • "create_sites" user capability was added to the list of built-in WordPress user capabilities for WordPress multisite. It does not exist by default. But it is used to control "Add New" button at the "Sites" page under WordPress multisite network admin.
  • bug fix: WordPress database prefix value was not used in 2 SQL queries related to the "count users without role" module - updated.
4.15 2014-09-10
  • 08.09.2014
  • Rename role button was added to the URE toolbar. It allows to change user role display name (role ID is always the same). Be careful and double think before rename some built-in WordPress role.
4.14.4 2014-09-02
  • 08.08.2014
  • Missed "manage_sites" user capability was added to the list of built-in WordPress capabilities managed by User Role Editor.
  • Russian translation was updated.
4.14.3 2014-08-08
  • 25.07.2014
  • Integer "1" as default capability value for new added empty role was excluded for the better compatibility with WordPress core. Boolean "true" is used instead as WordPress itself does.
  • Integration with Gravity Forms permissions system was enhanced for WordPress multisite.
4.14.2 2014-07-25
  • 18.07.2014
  • The instance of main plugin class User_Role_Editor is available for other developers now via $GLOBALS['user_role_editor']
  • Compatibility issue with the theme "WD TechGoStore" is resolved. This theme loads its JS and CSS stuff for admin backend uncoditionally - for all pages. While the problem is caused just by CSS URE unloads all this theme JS and CSS for optimizaiton purpose for WP admin backend pages where conflict is possible.
4.14.1 2014-07-18
  • 11.06.2014
  • MySQL query optimizing to reduce memory consumption. Thanks to SebastiaanO.

  • 22.04.2014
  • Bug was fixed. It had prevented bulk move users without role (--No role for this site--) to the selected role in case such users were shown more than at one WordPress Users page.
  • Korean translation was added. Thanks to Taek Yoon.
  • Pro version update notes:
  • Use new "Admin Menu" button to block selected admin menu items for role. You need to activate this module at the "Additional Modules". This feature is useful when some of submenu items are restricted by the same user capability, e.g. "Settings" submenu, but you wish allow to user work just with part of it. You may use "Admin Menu" dialog as the reference for your work with roles and capabilities as "Admin Menu" shows what user capability restrict access to what admin menu item.
  • Posts/Pages edit restriction feature does not prohibit to add new post/page now. Now it should be managed via 'create_posts' or 'create_pages' user capabilities.
  • If you use Posts/Pages edit restriction by author IDs, there is no need to add user ID to allow him edit his own posts or page. Current user is added to the allowed authors list automatically.
  • New tab "Additional Modules" was added to the User Role Editor options page. As per name all options related to additional modules were moved there.
4.11 2014-04-07
  • 06.04.2014

  • Pro version, Gravity Forms access restriction module was tested and compatible with Gravity Forms version 1.8.5
4.10 2014-04-04
  • 15.02.2014
  • Security enhancement: WordPress text translation functions were replaced with more secure esc_html_() and esc_htmle() variants.
  • Pro version: It is possible to restrict access to the post or page content view for selected roles. Activate the option at plugin "Settings" page and use new "Content View Restrictions" metabox at post/page editor to setup content view access restrictions.
  • Pro version: Gravity Forms access management module was updated for compatibility with Gravity Forms version 1.8.3. If you need compatibility with earlier Gravity Forms versions, e.g. 1.7.9, use User Role Editor version 4.9.
4.9 2014-02-15
  • 19.01.2014
  • New tab "Default Roles" was added to the User Role Editor settings page. It is possible to select multiple default roles to assign them automatically to the new registered user.

  • Restore previous blog 'switch_to_blog($old_blog_id)' call was replaced to 'restore_current_blog()' where it is possible to provide better compatibility with WordPress API. After use 'switch_to_blog()' in cycle, URE clears 'wp_switched_stack' global variable directly instead of call 'restorecurrent_blog()' inside the cycle to work faster.
  • Pro version: It is possible to restrict access of single sites administrators to the selected user capabilities and Add/Delete role operations inside User Role Editor.
  • Pro version: Shortcode [user_role_editor roles="none"]text for not logged in users[/user_role_editor] is available. Recursive processing of other shortcodes inside enclosed text is available now.

  • Pro version only: 'wp-content/uploads' folder is used now instead of plugin's own one to process file with importing roles data.
  • Pro version only: Bug fix: Nonexistent method was called to notify user about folder write permission error during roles import.
4.5.2 2013-10-21
  • 23.09.2013
  • User capabilities editor updated to support capabilities beyond the user roles - capabilities added by other plugins directly to the users, or deleted from the user roles.
  • Bug fixed - custom capabilities was not shown in User capabilities editor in some cases.
  • Spanish translation was added. Thanks to Dario Ferrer.
4.5.1 2013-09-01
  • 29.08.2013
  • Bug with multi-site super-admin access to the User Role Editor is fixed. Version 4.5. showed message "Insufficient permissions to work with User Role Editor" until add "manage_network_users" capability to the "Administrator" role. It is enough now to be the "Superadmin" at multi-site network.
4.4 2013-08-29
  • 15.08.2013 *
  • Pro version only: Users of "Gravity Forms" plugin may restrict users access to the Forms on per form basis. Activate this option at URE Settings page and input at user's profile the list of Gravity Forms IDs, to which you allow access for this user. User should have at least 'gravityforms_edit_forms' capability in order you see GF access control option at his profile.
  • Pro version: User Role Editor license key is not shown now on the Setting page. User sees just word "Installed" after he saved it.
  • Bug fixed which prevented creation of current roles backup record during User Role Editor plugin installation and produced unexpected output (PHP notices).
4.3 2013-08-15
  • 12.08.2013
  • Pro version only: "User Role Editor" is available under the "Users" submenu of "Network Admin" for multisite installation. It provides the central point for users roles management of the whole network. Your changes are applied to the main site by default. The click on "Network Update" button replicates roles from the main site to the whole network at once.
  • Multisite update: roles from the main (1st) blog are copied to the new added blog automatically, even new site is added from front-end after new user registration, e.g. Gravity Forms "Register User" addon does. Earlier this feature worked for administrator back-end operations only.
  • Bug prevented to apply role changes to all sites of the network is fixed. In case when one of the sites have exactly the same roles as applied from the main site, MySQL returned 0 rows affected. URE recognized that as error and stopped further network updated. It is fixed now.
  • Bug prevented to save empty (without capabilities) role is fixed.
  • User interface bug with options 'Show capabilities in human readable form' and 'Show deprecated capabilities' fixed. Now this checkboxes work this way: It takes global values from the User Role Editor Settings 1st. If you change it at Roles/User editor form plugin, it remembers your change temporally for 10 minutes. After that this value will be returned to the URE global settings. If you wish to make permanent change make it at URE settings page.
4.2 2013-08-12
  • 02.08.2013
  • Separate setting page is added for User Role Editor under Settings menu. It is available under Network Center "Settings" for the multi-site.
  • Option 'show Administrator role in the User Role Editor' was added.
  • User with super-admin privilege only may create, edit, delete users by default under multi-site configuration. Use new "Allow create, edit and delete user to not super-administrators" option to workaround this obstacle. Such user still should have correspondent user capabilities as "create_users", "edit_users", "delete_users". Thanks to Sjobidoo for suggested decision.
  • PHP fatal error caused by typo in the 'uninstall.php' file is fixed.
  • Miscellaneous code enhancements.
4.1.1 2013-08-02
  • 15.07.2013

4.1 2013-07-15
  • 03.07.2013
  • Quick Filter is added. Type part of any capability. All capabilities containing that word, e.g. 'edit' or 'users' will be highlighted by green color. While 'quick filter' is in action 'Select All', 'Unselect All', 'Inverse' buttons work with highlighted capabilities sub-set only. Read this post for more information:
  • Class property and method access modifiers fatal errors were fixed (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatalerror-1).
4.0 2013-07-03
  • 30.06.2013
  • Pro version only: added 'Export/Import' functionality to 'export' all user roles to the local file and 'import' them then to other WordPress blog or other sites of muliti-site WordPress network, or just restore roles to previous state after playing with them with test purpose.
  • Added integration with the Gravity Forms plugin. User Role Editor shows Gravity Forms user capabilities at the custom capabilities section.
  • Code is fully restructured and encapsulated to PHP classes. Internal global variables are not in use anymore.
3.14.1 2013-06-30
  • 24.05.2013
  • Bug, which prevented the correct use of WordPress nonces on some installations (Windows), is fixed;
  • DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR constant used in path to User Role Editor CSS file was empty on some installations (Windows). Constant DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR is excluded from the plugin code;
  • User capabilities page: roles checkboxes are excluded from 'Select All', 'Unselect All', 'Inverse' operations. Only capabilities checkboxes are processed.
  • Turkish Muhammed YILDIRIM translation is updated.
3.14 2013-05-24
  • 17.05.2013
  • Interface update: role/capability add/remove stuff was removed from the page. Plugin has toolbar at the right side now. Click on the button opens needed dialog window.
  • New role may have different attrubutes "ID" and "Name". While ID is still restricted by latin characters hyphen, underscore and digits only, Name could contain spaces and national languages characters.
  • General code cleanup and security enhancements: all data changes request are processed via POST instead of GET now. So its more difficult to send modified malicious request without special software. Presence of special nonce field is checked for all requests.
  • Setting up the 'administrator' role as default one for new registered users is prohibited at server side.
  • JavaScript code separated from PHP one whenever it's possible.

  • 14.05.2013

  • Update for administrators of multi-site WordPress installations. Single-site WordPress installation administrator could skip this update.

  • "Apply to All Sites" feature did not work at version 3.12. It is fixed.

  • "Apply to All Sites" feature is available now from main site of the network only

3.12 2013-05-14
  • 01.05.2013
  • Critical update: persistent cross-site scripting vulnerability is fixed.
  • WordPress built-in constants, like WP_PLUGIN_URL are not used in order to provide compatibility with sites which use SSL. plugin_dir_url(), plugin_dir_path() functions are used to define paths to the plugin's files instead.
  • "Greetings" section is removed from the plugin's main page. All that content is still available at plugin page
3.10 2013-03-24
  • 04.02.2013
  • You can assign to user multiple roles simultaneously. Use user level roles and capabilities editor for that. You can click 'Capabilities' link under selected user row at users list or 'Assign Roles and Additional Capabilities' link at user profile.
  • Critical bug fix: hidden deprecated WordPress core capabilities had turned on after any update made to the role. Deprecated capabilities are not currently in use by WordPress itself. But old plugins or themes could still use them. If you use some outdated code I recommend you to check all roles, you modified with User Role Editor, and turn off unneeded deprecated capabilities there.
  • User with Administrator role is secured better from editing, deletion by user with lower capabilities.
3.9 2013-02-04
  • 07.01.2013
  • Compatibility with bbPress 2.2 new user roles model is provided. More details about the reason of such update at http://shinephp.com/bbpress-user-role-editor-conflict-fix/
  • "Reset" button works differently now. It restores WordPress roles data to its 1st, default state, exactly that, what WordPress has just after fresh install/latest version update. Be careful with it, make database backup copy before fulfill this operation. Some plugin could require reactivation to function properly after roles reset.
  • Arabic translation is added. Thanks to Yaser
  • Slovak translation is added. Thanks to Branco
3.8.3 2013-01-07
  • 14.12.2012

  • Traditional Chinese translation is added. Thanks to Jingxin Lai.
3.8.1 2012-12-02
  • 21.10.2012
  • Fix: URE taked roles names from the database directly and ignored changes made to roles names on the fly by other plugins or themes, names, which were cached by WordPress internally, but were not written to the database. URE uses WordPress internal cache now.
  • Roles names translation update: if URE translation file doesn't exist for blog default language, URE uses WordPress internal translation now.

  • Bug fix: Some times URE didn't show real changes it made to the database. The reason was that direct update of database did not invalidate data stored at WordPress cache. Special thanks to Knut Sparhell for the help to detect this critical issue.
  • WordPress core capabilities are shown separately from capabilities added by plugins and manually.
  • If you configured URE to show you 'Administrator' role, you will see its capabilities, but you can not exclude any capability from it. I may just add capabilities to the Administrator role now. The reason - Administrator role should have all existing capabilities included.
  • Brasilian Portuguese translation is updated. Thanks to Onbiz.

3.5.1 2012-03-17
  • 24.02.2012
  • Bugs for multi-site WordPress network installation were discovered and fixed: 1) blocked login to admin back-end; 2) empty users list for administrators of single sites; 3) empty authors drop down list at the post editor page.
  • If URE plugin is not enabled for single site administrator, then URE is automatically excluded from plugins list available to that administrator.
3.5 2012-02-24
  • 19.02.2012
  • User Role Editor could be available now for single site administrators (Administrator role) under multi-site environment. You should define URE_ENABLE_SIMPLE_ADMIN_FOR_MULTISITE constant in your blog wp-config.php file for that. Insert this line "define('URE_ENABLE_SIMPLE_ADMIN_FOR_MULTISITE', 1);" there, if you decide to give single site admin such opportunity.
  • One of "User Role Editor" users with 1100+ sites in the multi-site network reported that URE doesn't update roles for all sites, but stalls somewhere in the middle. Other network update method is realized as alternative. Due to my tests it works approximately 30 times faster. If you met the same problem, try it. It will be great if you share your experience with me. In order select alternative method of all sites update add this line to you blog wp-config.php file "define('URE_MULTISITE_DIRECT_UPDATE', 1);". But be careful. It's recommended to make 1st try on the backup copy, not on a live site.
  • Persian translation is updated. Thanks to Parsa.
3.4 2012-02-19
  • 21.01.2012
  • You can see/edit "Administrator" role now. Insert this line of code "define('URE_SHOW_ADMIN_ROLE', 1);" into your wp-config.php file and login with administrator account for that. If for some reason your Administrator role missed some capabilities added by plugins or themes, you can fix that. But be careful with changing "Administrator" role, do not turn off accidentally some critical capabilities to not block your admin users.
