Hey Sean.

I’ll have to take a look at that specific scenario, since something is definitely not quite right there for those field permissions.

In the meantime though, there might be one way out. If you head into Settings -> MasterPress, there’s a “MasterPress capabilities” panel, with two radio buttons representing capability modes:

Standard: which simply uses “manage_options” for everything, and

Specific: which allows more fine-grained control over the capability keys used to block access to various sections of the Masterplan.

If you check Specific, and check (or leave checked) the “On save, add capabilities above to roles with the manage_options capability” and update, what you should then find is that when you edit the Manager user role (via User Roles in under Masterplan) you’ll see a tab for “MasterPress” under capabilities now, which will allow you to disable access to MasterPress in a more granular way.

If you do it this way, it should hopefully solve the other problem too, but let us know if it doesn’t.

I will look into the issue when using “manage_options” as soon as I can.

Latest From the Blog

MasterPress 1.4.1 is now available

27th May 2024

This update addresses backwards compatibility issues that were introduced in the previous update. There were some edge cases where PHP 7 had issues and it didn’t work at all on PHP 5.6. We have now changed it so that the PHP 8 compatibility changes will now only affect PHP 8 and will be more thorough… 

Plugin Requirements

MasterPress requires a minimum of WordPress version 4.9, MySQL 5.6, and PHP version 5.6.20.

We also recommend that PHP is configured to use a memory limit of 64MB per request (128MB may be required for sites with higher complexity).

This plug-in is not compatible with the WordPress.com hosted service.
