 * Hi, I have a problem with adminimize long ago and did not find a solution on 
   the web, I hope to find it here.
 * I change the user roles from the php code in the file “functions.php” (did different
   things, for example, delete users, add others and copy them administrator roles)
 * My plugin Adminimize always worked perfectly, but if I do any of these changes
   in user roles Adminimize stops working, also I feel the same if I install any
   plugin on user roles.
 * Try to fix this problem by removing the codes that add to the “functions.php”
   Adminimize uninstalling and reinstalling, and deleting database Adminimize (gives
   you this option at the end of the page where the plugin is administered).
 * The only option that worked for me to fix it was to delete the site and recreate
   it from scratch, and as this happens to me a lot and I manage many sites Adminimize
   I would like to find a solution
 * Thank you for your help
    I apologize for my English, I’m not very good, I speak
   Spanish

 * I found a workaround, but it would be nice if someone has a better solution for
   this problem.
 * What I did was delete the plugin database (this option is at the bottom of the
   page of the plugin), and then returned to put the settings you had before one
   by one (no import and export).

 * It is not a good idea to change the core files, much problems.
    To change the
   capabilities to each role use the plugin [Members](https://wordpress.org/plugins/members/),
   also usable to create new roles. Adminimize will use all roles, also new and 
   additional roles.
