 * Hello all, I think there is an error in the WP_User->remove_role function.
 * This needs to be fixed:
 *     ```
       if ( empty($this->roles[$role]) ||
       (count($this->roles) <= 1) )
                               return;
                       unset($this->caps[$role]);
                       update_usermeta($this->ID, $this->cap_key, $this->caps);
                       $this->get_role_caps();
       ```
   
 * should be this:
 *     ```
       if ( empty($this->caps[$role]) ||
       (count($this->caps) <= 1) )
                               return;
                       unset($this->caps[$role]);
                       update_usermeta($this->ID, $this->cap_key, $this->caps);
                       $this->get_role_caps();
       ```
   
 * This has been stopping me from removing a user from a role. I’ve been manually
   fixing it with each new install but it should make it into the code base
