Activate WordPress debug mode with writing error message to log file and show error messages related to the User Role Editor.
Add these lines to wp-config.php
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
Errors will be written to wp-content/debug.log file.
Hi,
Thanks for the response. I see no error messages relating to User Role Editor but after my initial post, I was testing around to figure out the issue some more, I think there may be a conflict with another plugin, WP Members. WP Members plugin has remained the same and the issue only occurred after updating URE.
I get warnings like these after turning on wp_debug

and debug_log shows errors like

I may need to contact WP Members support also but if you have any insight on these error messages that would be appreciated as well.
The version of WP-Members you have installed is severely out of date. The file noted has not been part of the plugin since 3.0 (over 5 years ago). Pre-3.0 versions are not fully compatible with PHP 7+ and WP 4.3+.
The plugin has maintained compatibility with modern versions of PHP and WP, but that’s only if you keep it up-to-date 😉
The thing is, the most recent version of WP Members is still causing the error when used with the latest version of URE also.
So I tried to roll back to the version that my client had before the errors occurred. That version of WP Members is what they had before and when installed with all versions of URE, proper functioning of the website can’t be restored again.
