Authorize Membership in front end missing

  • V2.1.7 seems to have introduced a bug. For a designated user role to be able to Approve/Reject a membership application in the front end, by editing the user’s profile, this requires the the option “manage_options” be enabled for the approver’s role. However, checking it does not stick and it gets cleared automatically on role update.
    This is being caused by new code in \includes\core\class-roles-capabilities.php that adds an action on “update_option” and a new function “um_on_roles_update”.
    I was unable to determine why this capability in particular gets cleared when others don’t. But I temporarily patched it, around line 57:

    //if ( ! empty( $role_meta['wp_capabilities'][ $cap ] ) ) {
if ( $cap != "manage_options" && ! empty( $role_meta['wp_capabilities'][ $cap ] ) ) {

    This fixed the problem but if it’s the right way to do it I don’t know. Hopefully the developers will determine the issue and fix properly.
    Without being able to set manage_options only administrators can approve memberships and it cannot be delegated to other roles.

    Has this been fixed on V2.1.8? No indication it has is the change log, nor any acknowledgement of the bug here.

    As of V2.1.10 Rc1 this still has not been addressed. See my original post for details.
    Do the developers ever look at this forum?
