Update broke user accounts & really slows site down

    Our website “designer” that was hired to originally build our WP site used AAM to create multiple types of user accounts and roles. We noticed it slowed the website load times waaaaaay down, but we were told that this was the only way to do what we wanted. Then when we updated to 2.8.7 it broke all our user accounts except the admin accounts. We disabled the plugin and were amazed at how fast the website was. Now we use the plug-in User Role Editor and it works great for what we need. It is much easier to configure and you can create custom roles.

    Hi mdeans,

    Truly appreciate your feedback. What makes Advanced Access Manager better is people like you!

    You were quite fast on your review without giving us a change to support you. Hopefully our response below will clarify things.

    AAM main objective is to control access to your posts, pages, categories and backend area. It is not designed primarily to only create roles. Of course you can find quite few decent plugins that will create roles and manage capabilities (User Role Editor is one of them), BUT AAM is the only one that allows you to control access to your website on user, role and visitor levels.

    The reason for slow down is that you have a lot of posts and categories and AAM does its job perfectly by checking access to each of them. That is why you might experience the slow speed. BUT LUCKILY we have caching mechanism that significantly speed-up that process. Simply install AAM Utility extension and turn-on caching when you done managing AAM.

    I truly hope that you will reconsider your review and contact us directly via email [email protected] if you have any other questions.

    Thank you,
    Vasyl

    Hey, got Fatal:
    [04-Dec-2015 10:07:32 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method AAM_Core_Object_Menu::setInherited() in /home/vezejadmin/domains/vezejai.lt/public_html/wp-content/plugins/advanced-access-manager/Application/Core/Object/Menu.php on line 34

    Can’t add new links to menu.

    Version 3.0.4

    Resolved, seems like even if I’m super admin I needed to add permissions to add menus, but how that become like that after update.

    Hi juslintek,

    That is weird. Because there is absolutely no reason for that error. Did you update AAM manually? Looks like not all files were installed correctly. Try completely delete plugins/advanced-access-manager folder and reinstall AAM.

    Keep us updated.
    Regards,

    Hi VasyItech, sorry its old error, I happened during tmp/ 100% usage. Ignore that one. But other problem arose, because after update I was unable to add extra menu options, but after for my role I ticked everything tickable I was able to do it again at least on Customizer.

    Nah thats wrong, now I can’t see half submenus. Need to untick all. P.S. I thin that query on change is resource expensive.

    Hi @mdeans,

    Is there any change you would revise the review. It took a lot of work for us to optimize the plugin and it is much faster.

    Thank you.
