Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Members – Membership & User Role Editor Plugin
We weren't satisfied with the current user, role, and permissions plugins available. Yes, some of them are good, but nothing fit what we had in mind perfectly. Some offered few features. Some worked completely outside of the WordPress APIs. Others lacked the GPL license. So, we just built something we actually enjoyed using.
Most things should be fairly straightforward, but you can also view the docs online. Minimum PHP requirements. Members now requires PHP 7.4+ I can't access the "Role Manager" features. When the plugin is first activated, it runs a script that sets specific capabilities to the "Administrator" role on your site that grants you access to this feature. So, you must be logged in with the administrator account to access the role manager. If, for some reason, you do have the administrator role and the role manager is still inaccessible to you, deactivate the plugin. Then, reactivate it.
If you have a multisite installation, only Super Admins can create, edit, and delete roles by default. This is a security measure to make sure that you absolutely trust sub-site admins to make these types of changes to roles. If you're certain you want to allow this, add the Create Roles (create_roles), Edit Roles (edit_roles), and/or Delete Roles (delete_roles) capabilities to the role on each sub-site where you want to allow this. Help! I've locked myself out of my site! Please read the documentation for the plugin before actually using it, especially a plugin that controls permissions for your site. We cannot stress this enough. This is a powerful plugin that allows you to make direct changes to roles and capabilities in the database. You'll need to stop by our support forums to see if we can get your site fixed if you managed to lock yourself out. We know that this can be a bit can be a bit scary, but it's not that tough to fix with a little custom code. Your web-host may also be able to restore your site from a recent backup, but we only recommend doing this as a last-resort option, as restoring from a backup could mean losing work you have done, or members that have been added between the backup date, and now.
