I’m the WordPress Administrator so I should be able to see all EventEspresso menu, right?

Under the “User Permissions” Settings -> Minimum Page Permissions, I have the “Event/Attendee Listings Page” and “Discounts Page” as “Event Admin”. Problem is, I, as the administrator, can no longer see these 2 menu anymore on my WordPress dashboard. If I set these 2 permissions back to “Administrator”, the 2 menu show up normally.

Note that I moved my WordPress URL before (still under the same server) and wonder whether this may caused an issue somehow?

Hello Michael,

I don’t think the issue here is the WordPress URL, as I recreated this problem on a basic install.

Do you have any users set (except admin)?

I found on creating a user, the Event Overview remained even after deleting the user. http://d.pr/i/tsky (screenshot)

Please let me know if this works or if you already had a user created (and role please) when the bug occurred.

Hm might be a bit hard to debug because I have about 30-40 users in the system. Some tests that I tried (not sure whether one of these was what you wanted me to try on?):

  • I created a new user with Administrator role. Tried logging in with that and still can’t see the Event Overview.
  • Tried deleting that user and logged on as another administrator (the WordPress “admin” and also a user with Administrator role. Still can’t see it.
  • Tried creating a new user with the role WordPress “Contributor” and delete it, still the same

Note that if the user has a role of Event Admin, he/she can see the Event Overview, as stated in the Permission.

I also have a plugin s2Member, maybe it conflicts with the Event Espresso permission?

Hi Michael

Thanks for the info. I don’t see it as a conflict with S2Member, I am easily re-creating the issue on a basic server with no additional plugins.

Can’t see where the error is in the code, so i’ll pop a message to a developer to have a closer look into this.

May have found the issue. In User Roles, it should say Administrator and X number of Capabilities, can you check your capabilites here (hover over Administrator and click edit)

I am specifically looking to see if espresso_event_admin is ticked. If not tick it save and try the menus again.

AHH! Awesome!! That do the trick! Didn’t realise you can actually change capabilities for an Admin (I assumed everything is enabled/ticked) 🙂 Thanks heaps, Dean

You’re welcome, glad it’s sorted.

Hello!

I ran into a similar issue here. I gave my “Editor” role the following permissions, but they still can’t access the EE menus:

They are able to create events, but not edit them:
