Possible conflict with The Events Calendar Pro

  • We recently started experiencing an issue editing individual instances of The Event Calendar Pro event series. We haven’t made any changes to our User Role Editor settings for months so this was likely introduced through an update (WordPress CORE, User Role Editor, The Event Calendar, or some other plugin).

    When an admin is logged in, we can edit instances of a series. When an author logs in with fewer permissions, they get an error when trying to update a single instance of a series. Checking the access logs, the following may be related:

    216.57.200.246 mysite.com – [04/May/2023:23:41:14 +0000] “GET /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=tec_custom_tables_v1_redirect_data&tec_custom_tables_v1_blocks_editor_redirect_nonce=517c599cf6&event_id=10004055&event_post_id=1290132 HTTP/1.0” 504 1073

    When we disable the User Role Editor plugin, the default author role can successfully update the series single instance.

    We’re hoping you can point us in the right direction as to what capability might be needed beyond what might be obvious for this activity to be performed by Authors when User Role Editor is enabled. We understand we likely need to reach out to that plugin author as well, but wanted to check with you to see if there were any clues you could provide based on the error message or recent updates to the User Role Editor plugin or if there’s a potential conflict from one of their updates.

    Here are the capabilities we have enabled related to the calendar plugin for both admins and authors:

    Series: 11/11
    Venues: 11/11
    Organizers: 11/11
    Events: 11/11

    Thanks for info you can pass along.

    Something also to confirm. Without making any changes to which plugins or themes are active, if we add the Administrative role to a test account that gets this error, it can successfully edit the instance of the series without errors. So there seems to be something with permissions/capabilities either in User Role Editor or TEC.

    Some additional info. We believe we’ve tracked this down to the ure_manage_options capability. Without this selected, Authors can’t edit The Event Calendar Series instances with the GeneratePress site them enabled. Same issue if the Twenty Twenty-One site them is enabled. If the Twenty Twenty-Three site them is enabled, the editing of Series instances succeeds – even without the ure_manage_options capability enabled. So there’s something going on with GeneratePress, The Events Calendar, User Role Editor, or all three that’s causing an issue with updating instances of event series. We’ve opened tickets with GeneratePress and The Events Calendar plugin support. Providing this update in case URE support has some ideas on what may be going on here.

    Thanks
