 * I add custom capabilities, click save, and later they revert. Could another plugin
   overwrite roles?

 * Hi [@yusefclass](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yusefclass/),
 * Thanks for reaching out Members Support Team!
 * Yes, another plugin can absolutely overwrite roles — this is a common cause of
   capabilities reverting after saving.
 * The quickest way to confirm is to temporarily disable all other plugins except
   Members, then try saving your capabilities again. If they stick, you’ll know 
   something else on your site is resetting them.
 * Once you’ve tested that, let us know what you find and we can help track down
   the specific plugin causing the conflict.
 * Regards,
