Finally found an issue. Something in WP saved role but could not compared correctly and couldn’t find correct capabilities. This code worked as it should (note the case): $role = get_role(‘new_role’); if(!$role){ add_role( ‘new_role’, ‘New Role’, array( ‘new_cap’ => true ) ); }
This was a very simple mistake in my deactivation script. The function to remove my custom role was being called before the function to remove the user. This is the part that led to confusion: When a role is removed, it becomes unavailable, but user’s assigned to that role will still retain the role in … Read more

Groups roles & capabilities
Adding custom capabilities should use the ‘admin_init’ hook. Your function can look like this: function add_bounty_product_caps() { $role = get_role( ‘mmv_multi_vendor’ ); $role->add_cap( ‘edit_crea_resi’ ); $role->add_cap( ‘edit_crea_resis’ ); $role->add_cap( ‘edit_others_crea_resis’ ); $role->add_cap( ‘publish_crea_resis’ ); $role->add_cap( ‘read_crea_resi’ ); $role->add_cap( ‘read_private_crea_resis’ ); $role->add_cap( ‘delete_crea_resi’ ); $role->add_cap( ‘edit_published_crea_resis’ ); $role->add_cap( ‘delete_published_crea_resis’ ); $role->add_cap( ‘edit_crea_spedizioni’ ); $role->add_cap( ‘edit_crea_spedizionis’ ); … Read more
If it’s supposed to edit its own post only, make it with author‘s capabilities. If it should edit posts of other users, as well, make it with editor‘s capabilities. Case 1 function wpse_add_your_role() { $role = get_role( ‘author’ ); if ( ! empty( get_role( ‘your_role’ ) ) ) { remove_role( ‘your_role’ ); } add_role( ‘your_role’, … Read more
Yes it’s very easy. You’ll want to use the add_role() function to add your custom roles – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_role Then you can use add_cap to add custom capabilities – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_cap One important thing to mention is that both add_role and add_cap are saved to the database so they only need to run 1x so it’s good … Read more
Ok so few things.. there’s a pretty well coded plugin that handles user roles and permissions: https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/ If you’d like to do this programatically though, you should: <?php function wpcodex_set_capabilities(){ global $wp_roles; // global class wp-includes/capabilities.php $role=”editor”; $cap = ‘publish_pages’; $wp_roles->remove_cap( $role, $cap ); } add_action( ‘init’, ‘wpcodex_set_capabilities’ ); ?> Lmk if that does it … Read more
It’s a little hackish and should be completed but it works for now. Also I had a chat with the people from WooThemes and they told me this feature should be available in the following months within the plugin, so this will become obsolete. //Hack – Shows only user’s own resources if the user does … Read more
