    Question: if I deactivate the plugin, will it lose all the roles and settings I’ve created?

    I have to deactivate plugins to search for a possible conflict, switching them back on one by one.

    Just don’t want to lose my roles and settings if it can be helped!

    Thank you.

    Hi HJ

    Roles and capabilities are stored in the database so you will not lose them when you deactivate Members plugin.

    Out of interest, what database tables is Membership writing to….to store roles and capabilities? Does it add new tables or write to core WordPress tables?

    Thanks.

    We use core WordPress table, so all roles are stored in the wp_user_roles option in wp_options table.

    OK, thank you, good to know.

    I noticed after deactivating the plugin that the user roles were still in force, so I suspected it had written conditions to the database somewhere.

    Presumably these database entries remain even if the plugin is deleted?

    regards

    The roles are stored in the wp_user_roles option in wp_options table. We don’t store capabilities anywhere outside this table.
