    Hey, I was wondering if Press Permit was able to restrict users to only being able to make pages underneath a specific parent page.

    I’ve been using Role Scoper to do this for awhile and have been looking into upgrading but I was making sure everything would work the same and I couldn’t figure that one out.

    That is a pro feature. With Press Permit Pro, you can limit the Page Association (page parent setting) by assigning the following exception to a user or WP role:

    Post Type: Page
    Post Operation: Associate (as parent)
    Adjustment: Only these
    Qualification: Pages
    Select Pages: [your choice from Recent/All/Search tab]

    hi Kevin… I have only had my website up for a month. I just tried role scoper… and I really, really like it. 🙂 It’s a little challenging at first to figure out… but then it is incredible in what it can do. I am concerned that Press Permit Pro won’t do everything that role scoper does. I only just installed it a few days ago. In role scoper… it has a function to allow user groups to be listed on the profile, and let the user request joining the group. Does your Press Permit Pro do that? This function is not working in role scoper for me (I understand it’s not supported).

    If I was you… lol… just saying… I would continue to update the role scoper… add some new features… and call the upgrade… a pro version… and charge for it. 🙂

    That way, you would truly feed all role scoper current users into a paid version. I’d just call it “pro”. I think you’d make more money that way. Would you consider adding that as another product on your pro side? Because I already started using your role scoper… and I like it.

    Personally, I would rather pay you $55 for the current rule scoper with some upgrade features or something… and you keep updating it.

    I saw your “About” page. Agape, brother. 🙂 Be blessed and prosper.

    Thanks Laura

    Thanks for the encouraging words and input. I’m glad that RS has been useful to you and many others. Even so, there are inefficiencies and limitations in Role Scoper’s permissions model, database schema, code base and UI which made forward progress difficult. I chose to make a clean break and reflect that break in the naming of the plugin. Even if I had retained the Role Scoper name, the breakdown of free vs. funded functionality (and the need to migrate to a new permissions model) would have been the same.

    Group membership requests are not supported in Press Permit. Instead, I support attachment of custom content permissions to BuddyPress groups. You can use the membership request and moderation mechanism provided by BuddyPress and/or BuddyPress plugins.
