    I’m trying to customise a certain role and having issues with the options I’m selecting actually impacting other SLUGs; or doing nothing at all:

    WOOCOMMERCE Menu:

    – PDF Invoices –> Disables SETTINGS
    – Reports –> Disables STATUS
    – Settings –> Disables Extensions
    – Status –> Did nothing
    – Extensions -> Did Nothing
    – PersonalisedWOO settings -> Removed PDF Invoices
    – Checkout Form -> Removed reports
    – WC Cancel -> Removed checkout form
    – sfa abandon cart -> removed wc cancel

    Regardless of what I do ‘Custom Order Status’ stays in menu

    Regardless of what I do ‘SFA Abandon Cart’ is disabled

    Any ideas?

    In which role have you this problem? As hint, each menu item have an capability from the plugin, so that it only show with a minimal role. Only the Admin role see all items. Adminimize can only hide items, not change capabilities, there have the items on default from the development.

    Hi Frank,

    The problem happens with any role I try to disable, this seems to be an ‘admin’ issue and not anything to do with the roles.

    Just to put the problem back to a really basic explanation:

    1. In the adminimise admin screen I see various different menus
    2. In adminimise I see menu 1, 2, 3, 4
    3. In Adminimise I disable menu 3 from role A
    4. Role A logs in and menu 4 is disabled (not menu 3)
    5. In Adminimise I re-enable menu 3
    4. Role A logs back in and menu 4 is now re-enabled

    The problem I’m having seems to be specific with the menu items I have available under the Woocommerce menu (which consists of a few other plugins contributing to menu items under this main menu)

    Maybe Woo change the slug from each menu item in depends from the role. Different plugins doing that, makes hard to create a UI to hide/active items. You can check this with the debugger function of Adminimize. Active it, hide the item 3 for the role A and login as user with Role A, like in an another browser. Now open the Webinspector, like in Chrome F12 or Firefox. See the tab “console” for the output, it list the slugs for this active role and also the slugs, there should hide. Compare it.

    @bueltge I’m trying to have WooCommerce and Products show for my Editor role. I have them UNchecked in Adminimize for the Editor role, but WooCommerce and Products are hidden. Any idea what is hiding them if they are not checked off?

    I checked the console while logged into the Editor role, but it shouldn’t matter if they match because I just want them to show, not hide. Correct?

    @dave the default Editor role have no access to the Products from WooCommerce. Adminize can hide menu items, not change the rights (capabilties) inside a role. However you can change existing, custom and new roles with the plugin Members and after this you should remove not necessary menu items with Adminimize.

    Ah, ok. That’s what I needed to know. You didn’t mention that, by default, the Editor role doesn’t have access to WooCommerce and Products in any other threads. Thanks for that! All set now.
