 * After updating to v1.5.7, non logged-in visitors can’t open anything.
 * I tried adding a _Visitor role and set the capabilities to the same as subscriber
   but it didn’t fix it.
 * I have had to quickly revert to v1.4

 * Mystifier,
    What does you mean under non logged-in visitor can’t open anything?
   If user is not logged in there is no sense to assign any capabilities. WordPress
   does not recognize them. _Visitor is for frontend only. And the only thing you
   can do is to set restrictions or exclude.

    Vasyl

 * Hi Vasyl,
 * Without changing anything else, after updating to v1.5.7 AAM, if a visitor (frontend)
   tries to open a post or category, they get the ‘Unauthorized Action’ screen.
 * After reverting to v1.4 AAM without changing anything else, everything is fine
   again.

 * **Mystifier**,
    Thanks for info. Maybe there is so problems with settings transfer.
   I reorganized way of saving them in 1.5.7
 *  Appreciate.

 * I am getting the same error. All of the Category pages on my live site are displaying
   a white page with the words “Unauthorized Action” when I have the Advanced Access
   Manager Plugin activated.
 * This issue occurs for all visitors to the site and it also seems to occur for
   all registered users except for the Admin.
 * There is another post that identifies this issue as well.

 * Is there a known fix for this? I am running 3.3.1

 * As for myself, when a user has access to a post belonging to his group, everything
   works fine. If I click on a category, I get the message “Unauthorized action”,
   even if there are posts in this category belonging to his group.
 * After reverting to 1.5.6, everything was fine again, so there must be a bug or
   something in your latest version.
 * Thanks for providing us with this great plugin anyway.

 * I am experiencing the same issue for all visitors/non members and for all roles
   except the admin. I am running 3.3.1.
 * This is a great plug in and I would love to get a fix for this. Please keep us
   posted on the status.

 * I faced the same problem also.
    When activating Advance Access Manager visitors
   cannot access categories. They always receive “Unauthorized Action” error when
   trying to do so!
 * Please let me know if you have a fix of this problem!

 * Looks like the problem is solved.
    Please go to advanced-access-manager/models/
   mvb_model_accesscontrol.php and replace the line 83 with: if (self::checkCategoryAccess(
   $cat_obj->term_id)) {
 * I’m sorry for this bug.
    It’ll be implemented in next release in few days.

 * Seems okay so far. I will change it on the live site so should hear pretty soon
   if not.
 * At last I can leave 1.4 behind 🙂

 * Hi Josh,
    That looks like you restricted access to profile page in Menu Tab for
   current User or Role.
 *  Please check if that is true.

 * Hi Vasyl,
 * Thank you so much for your quick reply!
 * I am having trouble with the Metaboxes & Widgets area. I get this error:
 * >>To initialize list of metaboxes manually, copy and paste the URL to edit screen
   page into text field and click “Initiate URL”. List of all new metaboxes will
   be added automatically.
 * I don’t see what the correct format is. I tried:
    [http://www.domain.com/wp-admin/admin.php](http://www.domain.com/wp-admin/admin.php)
   [http://www.domain.com/wp-admin/widgets.php](http://www.domain.com/wp-admin/widgets.php)
 * Thanks again,
    Josh

 * **Josh**,
    Nope these are not correct URLs. Just a quick lesson what is metabox
   for AAM: Metabox is something that u see when u are editing a post or page, or
   custom post type. It means that it is a box that u can drag & drop. So two URLs
   you presented does not refer to edit Post/Page or Custom Post Type page. That
   is why that does not make any effect.

    Vasyl

 * Thank you Vasyl,
    Would it be possible to add an example URL to the instructions
   so that people would know the correct way to format this? I am not sure what 
   the URL to add here is. Thanks, Josh
