Hello,

same problem here. This seems to be a problem with Impreza theme. When activating default WordPress theme, problem is gone:

Hi guys,

Alright, we have enough folks here to figure out what is special about your website setup that causes this side effect.

Can you please clarify if you have any Access Denied Redirect rules set for Administrator role or your admin user?

Vasyl

Hi All,

We are running:
WP 5.1.1
Impreza 5.8.1

no access denied rules for admin that I can see. have tried to activate AAM with wordfence deactivated and still get the same infinite refresh loop

Hello,

we are using:
WordPress 5.2.1
Impreza: 6.0.4
AAM: 5.9.7.1

Also no access denied rules for admin.

Kind regards
René

Hi guys,

Is there a place where I can download the Impreza theme? This way I can try to replicate the problem.

Found the problem inside the Impreza theme. They infinitely refresh the page by trying to add the capability to the roles_user param option.

AAM also uses this hook to work with managing access to the post types.

We can debate here how’s right or wrong and conceptually I disagree with the approach of infinite page reload that is programmatically enforced by developer.

I will try to find the workaround.

Thanks again. I also posted this problem in their support forum, but no response until how.

Kind regards

Hello guys,

I was able to prepare the workaround. For those who need more technical details about the actual problem, please refer to this thread https://forum.aamplugin.com/d/99-custom-post-type-does-not-honor-edit-delete-publish-overrides.

There is no right or wrong party in this situation. Both AAM and Impreza does aggressive work with roles and capabilities however from my point of few Impreza engineers are doing it conceptually incorrectly.

For some reasons, more and more developers assume that default WordPress roles are untouchable which in reality there is no much difference between administrator and subscriber roles.

Also, you can have a fully functioning WordPress website even without the Administrator role at all. You can literally create a custom role, assign all capabilities to it and delete the Administrator role and themes like Impreza most definitely will have some troubles.

Unfortunately, I’m observing this type of mistake more and more often because while WordPress access management is relatively simple, it is also has some interesting exceptions. So it is hard to blame anybody for not taking 20-40 hours to deeply learn some of the WordPress core aspects. I’m considering to start Office Hours or Webinar to start teaching folks WordPress core and access controls. Maybe that will help a little bit.

The new release 5.9.7.2 is out that should solve your issues.
