Hi,

Have found issue and fixed but definitely worth sharing…

One of my pages does a conditional role change (i.e. upgrade level) using php. top tip is to remember to add an extra condition to only do the role change to a specific current role (which I didn’t).
When I viewed the new page logged in as an admin, it changed my role!

i.e.
$user_id = S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_ID;
$user_level = S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_ACCESS_LEVEL;
if($user_level == 0)
{
$user = new WP_User($user_id);
$user->set_role(“s2member_level1”);
}

If you ever suffer same fate the fix is to access the wp database directly and edit your wp capabilities in the user meta data table – change it back to administrator!
