Protect admin ‘bug’

  • Hi there,

    when working with your plugins I found a ‘bug’ in the protect-admin class.
    In the function exclude_administrators() it searches for ‘%administrator%’ in the usermeta capabilities. Since I have a custom role called ‘site_administrator’, it also hides those users.
    If you change ‘%administrator%’ to ‘%”administrator”%’ (with the double quotes), it works in the correct way.
    As far as I know this should be possible to use, since the role is in the database with “” around it because of the serialize.

    Hi,

    You are correct. Thank you for the suggestion. I will include this fix into the next update.

    I have knew about a problem with roles containing ‘administrator’ inside ID. And I wonder how I missed this simple fix for years.
