I must say Thank you, because you pushed us to rebuild AAM and make it better, stronger and faster. * Yes. The script above, restore default set of capabilities for administrator Role only. Any other default roles like Editor, Author or Contributor are skipped. * Appreciate your interest in AAM.

We have not found a way to restore the default WP options so that we may start from scratch and get our roles fixed. If we uninstall, the AAM role modifications still affect the website. * Would it be possible to get a copy of this script that restores the defaults for _all_ roles? * [vasyl_m](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vasyl_m/) * (@vasyl_m) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restore-default-wp-permissions/#post-4524525) * Hi **triplemoons**, Well you do not _have_ to. I’m sure there are plenty of other plugins with the same functionality. Currently, we do not have the script that will restore default settings for all roles. However, we can develop it for you as part of our soon to be released customization program. * Instead of an hourly charge ($75/hour), just purchase the AAM Plus Package for $30, reconsider your AAM review and we’ll develop it for you. * Regards, Vasyl * Thread Starter [triplemoons](https://wordpress.org/support/users/triplemoons/) * (@triplemoons) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restore-default-wp-permissions/#post-4524527) * As mentioned, even if we uninstall, the AAM role modifications still affects the website. We have to continue using AAM because without being able to restore the WP Defaults, we’re stuck. * We also already purchased a license for the premium version of your plugin a long, long time ago. That’s why we’ve been so frustrated. * Thanks. * [vasyl_m](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vasyl_m/) * (@vasyl_m) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restore-default-wp-permissions/#post-4524531) * Hi **triplemoons**, Very good. Reconsider the review and we can develop the custom script for you. * Regards, Vasyl * Thread Starter [triplemoons](https://wordpress.org/support/users/triplemoons/) * (@triplemoons) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restore-default-wp-permissions/#post-4524536) * Are you seriously telling me that you won’t provide a fix for the plugin we paid for despite you having the means to do so…Unless we modify our review of this plugin first? * Extortion much? * [FashionGHANA](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fashionghana/) * (@fashionghana) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restore-default-wp-permissions/#post-4524723) * Please, post this link across the support forums, everyone should see this. Is it the worst plugin and I don’t understand how wordpress will let them continue to do this. Provide a plugin that messes up your site and then they charge you to fix it. I can’t use the updated version because it damages my site, and I cant remove it because it messes the roles up. We have a news website and now one person is having to post all the news for the editors. in addition we can use our events plugin. We can only do this by using an old version of the plugin that we luckily had on our computer. And they will not help us remove it for restoration. * Thread Starter [triplemoons](https://wordpress.org/support/users/triplemoons/) * (@triplemoons) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restore-default-wp-permissions/#post-4524724) * Well, I gave him what he asked for… * I “reconsidered” my review of this plugin with a direct like to this thread. * > Plugin Author offers no support when problems arise, even for those that ** > paid** for the premium version of the plugin.

Just wanted to help advice you how you can get your controls back. I am not a database editor type so my resolution was to do the following. * 1/ Back up your database if you know how to, just incase the process doesn’t work for you, but I doubt it wont. 2/ Turn off the Advance access manager plugin. 3/ Upload and activate the User Role Editor plugin [http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/user-role-editor](http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/user-role-editor). 4/ This plugin has the ability to RESET all roles (even the administrator role) So go to settings and select User Role Editor, and then add administrator to the editable roles (it described in different words but u’ll figure it out) 5/ Go to User–>User Role Editor. And the rest is ABC, when you see the big reset button. * If it works then you can either keep it or uninstall the plugin. When it resets the roles, it will delete permissions giving to you specifically by new plugins. For example it deleted my woocommerce options. However all you have to do with those plugins in particular is deactivate and activate them back. That’s really all I wish this AAM plugin cud do. If it could have, I would have probably kept it. * [zennguyen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zennguyen/) * (@zennguyen) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restore-default-wp-permissions/#post-4524835) * I saw this problem was fixed by author plugin. I just restore admin rights by using the code srcipt _index.php. I wrote an article [https://www.zensky.net/index.php/restore-wp-admin-role-using-advance-access-manager-plugin-1165.html](https://www.zensky.net/index.php/restore-wp-admin-role-using-advance-access-manager-plugin-1165.html).. It works.. * [lilmisslotus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lilmisslotus/) * (@lilmisslotus) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restore-default-wp-permissions/#post-4524836) * Thank you so much zennguyen!
