Hi Josh, Lorenzo,

Thank you for your efforts. I have been having fun today trying it out. I would like to ask you, however, to check my code and let me know what I am doing wrong:
I have been able to successfully create the “Event Coordinator” Role.

Based on the three articles that seemed to cover this, I added the following code to my child theme functions.php page, reloaded a page on my local install, and then commented it out.

/*Add New User role - Event Coordinator--One time use, now commented out to prevent error messages*/ 

add_role('event_coordinator', 'Event Coordinator', array(
    'read' => true, // True allows that capability
    'edit_posts' => true,
    'delete_posts' => false, // Use false to explicitly deny
    'upload_files' => true,
    'edit_plugins' => true,
    'delete_event_categories' => true,
    'delete_events' => true,
    'delete_locations' => true,
    'delete_others_events' => true,
    'delete_others_locations' => true,
    'delete_others_recurring_events' => true,
    'delete_recurring_events' => true,
    'edit_event_categories' => true,
    'edit_events' => true,
    'edit_locations' => true,
    'edit_others_events' => true,
    'edit_others_locations' => true,
    'edit_others_recurring_events' => true,
    'edit_recurring_events' => true,
    'manage_bookings' => true,
    'manage_others_bookings' => true,
    'publish_events' => true,
    'publish_locations' => true,
    'publish_recurring_events' => true,
    'read_others_locations' => true,
    'read_private_events' => true,
    'read_private_locations' => true,
    'upload_event_images' => true,
    'manage_options' => true,
));

add_filter ('FHEE_management_capability', 'my_custom_menu_management_capability');

function my_custom_menu_management_capability() {
    return 'edit_posts';
}

However, when I change the role for my coordinator’s account to Event Coordinator, when I login to their admin page, they get access to ThemeMyLogin’s (another plugin) admin menu, but not EE’s. THis is so strange.

Do you have any idea what I am doing wrong here? Here is the listing under wp_user_roles table for event coordinator:

event_coordinator";a:2:{s:4:"name";s:17:"Event Coordinator";s:12:"capabilities";a:29:{s:4:"read";b:1;s:10:"edit_posts";b:1;s:12:"delete_posts";b:0;s:12:"upload_files";b:1;s:12:"edit_plugins";b:1;s:23:"delete_event_categories";b:1;s:13:"delete_events";b:1;s:16:"delete_locations";b:1;s:20:"delete_others_events";b:1;s:23:"delete_others_locations";b:1;s:30:"delete_others_recurring_events";b:1;s:23:"delete_recurring_events";b:1;s:21:"edit_event_categories";b:1;s:11:"edit_events";b:1;s:14:"edit_locations";b:1;s:18:"edit_others_events";b:1;s:21:"edit_others_locations";b:1;s:28:"edit_others_recurring_events";b:1;s:21:"edit_recurring_events";b:1;s:15:"manage_bookings";b:1;s:22:"manage_others_bookings";b:1;s:14:"publish_events";b:1;s:17:"publish_locations";b:1;s:24:"publish_recurring_events";b:1;s:21:"read_others_locations";b:1;s:19:"read_private_events";b:1;s:22:"read_private_locations";b:1;s:19:"upload_event_images";b:1;s:14:"manage_options";b:1;}}}

Any advice on the next troubleshooting step? Also, I am running on git here with multiple database backups. So I can totally replace this to start fresh.

Hi Tony,

I was traveling and just got back. Thank you for your reply.

You are correct, I HAD commented out the add_filter function, thinking it was a one time thing. Now it works perfectly.

Thanks for your reply. This can be closed out.
