access_s2member_levelX not recognized

Hello,

s2Member does not recognize access to any of the lower user levels.

For example: if a user is s2member_level4, the conditional check

current_user_can('access_s2member_level2');

does not work.

Check works only for administrators. Regular users are not recognized.

This happened after updating WP, bbPress and User Role Editor to the latest versions.
Setup: WordPress 3.5.1, s2Member v130406, User Role Editor 3.12, bbPress 2.3.1.

Any ideas on where the issue can be?

Thank you.

Thank you for reporting this important issue.

Can you try using the reset roles and capabilities button here, please?

Hi Bruce,

Thank you for your message.

We narrowed down the issue to the “User Role Editor” plugin.

Whenever the settings form of that plugin is submitted, all s2Member settings are wiped out causing access checks to fail. Resetting the s2Member roles/capabilities does not solve the issue.

We created an issue here with detailed steps on how to reproduce it:

This is a critical issue and the site is down until the issue is resolved.
Let me know please if you have any ideas on how to temporarily patch this.

Thank you.

You could try adding the capability to the levels with the User Role Editor plugin. That might work correctly.

Unfortunately, re-saving the URE plugin form breaks all “access_s2member_levelX” checks, even when no changes are made to the form.

Note: the “Custom capabilities” part is missing from the URE settings form. Screenshots are posted here:

It looks like the problem was addressed by the plugin developer. Let us know if problems persist.
