 * Come on, everyone is lacking time, you really expect someone to read through 
   your AI-generated bug report with all its possible hallucinations and figure 
   out what is true and what not? I don’t get paid for that. That’s kinda rude.

 * Okay, I will reconsider this. Might as well accept these roles as they have been
   added anyway.

 * The plugin uses WordPress’ sanitize_key function ([https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/sanitize_key/](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/sanitize_key/))
   to sanitize the role id. WordPress does this in lots of places for different 
   ids/keys (post type ids, menu ids etc). It does not do this for roles, but there
   is no UI for adding roles in WordPress, so WordPress does not have to sanitize
   user input for that. I would assume that role ids *should* be lower cased. If
   you have other examples, where WordPress or popular plugins allow creation of
   non-lowercased role ids, I will have a look. But for now, it doesn’t seem right
   to remove this sanitization.

 * Hey,
 * the plugin should work with other roles as well. It will list all roles that 
   you are allowed to edit. Maybe that is the problem? Check the return of WordPress’
   function [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_editable_roles/](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_editable_roles/),
   this is used by the plugin to retrieve the list of roles you may select. The 
   list might get altered by other plugins, so please check this without other plugins
   active.
 * Best

 * Hey,
 * you should ask this in the WooCommerce support forum
    [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce)
 * If these features belong to an other plugin or theme you should ask there for
   help.

 * Is it not possible to directly link to the media files?
 * If not, you have to use something like this (to be put e.g. in you (child) theme’s
   functions.php)
 *     ```
       add_action( 'template_redirect', 'your_prefix_attachment_redirect' );
       function your_prefix_attachment_redirect() {
         if ( is_attachment() ) {
           wp_redirect( wp_get_attachment_url( get_the_ID() ), 301 );
           exit();
         }
       }
       ```
