Administrator lost it’s role on CPT

Hi.
Im not fully understand capability stuff, but according to the codex, args would be like this?

'capability_type' => array( 'oglas', 'oglase' ),
'map_meta_cap' => true

It saids capabilities array will be constructed by capability_type arg.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type

The main problem is that you mix two different approaches to create capabilities for your post type, you pass capability_type and capabilities in args array to register_post_type. Passing string as capability_type will cause creation of capabilities based on string or array of strings (singular and plural). For example if you pass
capability_type' => array('oglas', 'oglase')
then capabilities edit_oglas, edit_oglase and so on will be created automatically. And in this case you should not pass capabilities.
So code for your post type should look like this:

add_action( 'init', 'oglasi_custom_post_type', 0 );
// Creating a Deals Custom Post Type
function oglasi_custom_post_type() {
      $labels = array(
        'name'                => __( 'Oglasi' ),
        'singular_name'       => __( 'Oglas'),
        'menu_name'           => __( 'Oglasi'),
        'parent_item_colon'   => __( 'Roditelj Oglas'),
        'all_items'           => __( 'Svi Oglasi'),
        'view_item'           => __( 'Pregledaj Oglas'),
        'add_new_item'        => __( 'Dodaj Novi Oglas'),
        'add_new'             => __( 'Dodaj Nov'),
        'edit_item'           => __( 'Izmeni Oglas'),
        'update_item'         => __( 'Ažuriraj Oglas'),
        'search_items'        => __( 'Traži Oglas'),
        'not_found'           => __( 'Nije Pronađen'),
        'not_found_in_trash'  => __( 'Nije Pronađen U Obrisanim')
      );
      $args = array(
        'label'               => __( 'oglasi'),
        'description'         => __( 'Vaši Oglasi'),
        'labels'              => $labels,
        'supports'            => array( 'title', 'editor', 'excerpt', 'author', 'thumbnail', 'revisions', 'custom-fields'),
        'public'              => true,
        'hierarchical'        => false,
        'show_ui'             => true,
        'show_in_menu'        => true,
        'show_in_nav_menus'   => true,
        'show_in_admin_bar'   => true,
        'has_archive'         => true,
        'can_export'          => true,
        'exclude_from_search' => false,
        'yarpp_support'       => true, 
        'publicly_queryable'  => true,
        'capability_type'     => array('oglas', 'oglase'),
    );
    
    register_post_type( 'oglasi', $args );
    
    
}

Now you should assign capabilities to admin, create custom role and assign capabilities to it too.

function add_oglasi_caps() {

    $role = get_role( 'administrator' );

    $role->add_cap( 'edit_oglas' ); 
    $role->add_cap( 'read_oglas' ); 
    $role->add_cap( 'delete_oglas' ); 
    $role->add_cap( 'edit_oglase' ); 
    $role->add_cap( 'edit_others_oglase' ); 
    $role->add_cap( 'publish_oglase' ); 
    $role->add_cap( 'read_private_oglase' ); 
    $role->add_cap( 'edit_oglase' ); 
    
    
    add_role( 'oglasi_role', 'Oglasi role', array('read')); 

    $role = get_role( 'oglasi_role' );
    $role->add_cap( 'edit_oglas' ); 
    $role->add_cap( 'read_oglas' ); 
    $role->add_cap( 'delete_oglas' ); 
    $role->add_cap( 'edit_oglase' ); 
    $role->add_cap( 'edit_others_oglase' ); 
    $role->add_cap( 'publish_oglase' ); 
    $role->add_cap( 'read_private_oglase' ); 
    $role->add_cap( 'edit_oglase' ); 
    
}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'add_oglasi_caps');

Remember that the code for custom role creation and adding capabilities should be executed once.

It looks like ogles_role does not have “read” capability, as is is required to access dashboard. Please check it by placing this code i functions.php or plugin:

global $wp_roles;
print_r($wp_roles->roles);

You should see:

...
[oglasi_role] => Array
        (
            [name] => Oglasi role
            [capabilities] => Array
                (
                    ...
                    [read] => 1
                    ...
                )

        )
...

Can you see it?
