    The settings menus Restricted Blocks and Restricted Blocks -> Restrictions mentioned in the instructions are not displayed in WordPress admin, so I can’t create a restriction. I have full admin access to the site.

    Hello Mark,

    Could you please confirm that your are experiencing the problem on a wordpress.com site?

    This week will be published a revised plugin activation which will allow the activation with the Calypso interface of WordPress.com. Right now the plugin is not activated correctly on wordpress.com sites.

    Note that if you are on a wordpress.com site you can solve with this procedure:

    1. Visit Installed Plugins
    2. Click Deactivate and then Activate below the Restricted Blocks plugin in the list

    In addition, make sure that all the options are initialized correctly (the Restrictions Menu Capability option is not allowing you to access the Restrictions menu):

    Thank you for your patience.

    No, I am using a self-hosted installation using LocalWP.

    Hello Mark,

    If there are no existing data I recommend deactivating and deleting the plugin. Then install and activate the plugin from the Plugins menu using the standard WordPress back-end UI.

    Please make sure that the default options are like in the two screenshot above. Please also verify that the logged user own the capability specified with the Restrictions Menu Capability option.

    That appears to have worked. Odd; I installed the plugin via WP CLI, as I do with all of the plugins in all of our projects, so I don’t know whether your plugin has code which doesn’t take this into account. Thanks!

    Hello Mark,

    Thank you for the update. I confirm that the activations using the Calypso?interface of WordPress.com and activations via WP CLI are not supported right now due to an incorrect conditional used in the plugin activation logic.

    This problem will be addressed with the plugin update mentioned above.
