    Hello,

    This is a simple but useful plugin, nonetheless I have been using it for a couple weeks and found two Bugs:

    The first and the worst one is that when the plugin is active no one (except for admin) can moderate comments.

    When a editor tryes to approve or trash a comment the response is:
    You do not have permission to do that (this is a major BUG).

    I have install a brand new WordPress to isolate the plugin and check if it’s a template issue or a plugin conflict issue, but since the plugin is active an editor (or anyother user that is not admin) can’t moderate comments. If I deactivate the plugin all works again.

    The seccond Issue (maybe is not a Bug) is that the jQuery conflicts with other plugins. The conflict is in Datepicker.

    I have 2 plugins that uses datepicker but when I activate DRP UM the datepicker crash and can’t load anymore it will be very usefull to use the custom version of datepicker only in DRP UM admin panel to avoid that.

    In adition It throws this error:(not a conflict with other plugin)
    ajaxurl is not defined
    jQuery.post(ajaxurl, data);

    in drp-wordpress-user-management/js/user.js

    The error comes up when more than 1 users can ‘manage_options’ in their roles. In the plugin source DRP WUM uses ‘manage_options’ to allow the propper users to use the plugin, nonetheless the ajax loader checks if user can ‘administrator’ to encue or load the proper javascript, that means that when other user (different from admin) is in dashboard and can ‘manage options’ some of the jquery will crash including comment moderation, save draft, jquery datepicker and many other.

    The short answer is to change can ‘administrator’ to can ‘manage_options’.

    I am looking into this but so far I have not been able to duplicate your issues which could mean its related to something else entirely on your site

    Hi

    Ok I have confirmed the comment part. Yes it appears only Administrtors can remove comments or approve them. I will make sure in the update that this is corrected. thank you for spotting that

    Regarding the DATEPICKER thing. Can you tell me the plugin that uses datepicker. ( this is kind of outside the scope ) as not all plugins can be verified to work with all the thousands of plugins being offered, hence why so many plugins ( free ones ) conflict with other plugins

    but I do try my best to make sure that things work with others.. let me know the datepicker plugin and i will confirm my end and if i see it i will put it in for a fix

    It’s not related to my site only as I tell before I do a fresh install to check if the problem remains and yes it remain. The plugin is Magic Fields, but I think if you apply the patch Should work now (haven’t tested yet the datepicker) let me check ill tell you the ressult in few hours. Abour the draft its the same:

    If a User have the ‘manage option’ and it’s not an admin it remains the same. You should include a way to prevent an administrator to be banned (if its not another administrator) for example at this point an editor can ban me easily.

    Nope, still not working with the fix. The plugin that crash the datePicker is Magic Fields, widely used by many.
