Hi @donquicky,
This can happen if the user was created before Wordfence was installed or while Wordfence was deactivated. Could that have been the case here?
Hi @wfasa,
Unfortunately this is not the case. Wordfence was installed and active upon modifying the user.
Is it a WordPress multisite?
Nope, no multisite. The only “complex” thing used on my site is the use of WPML.
Hi again @donquicky,
I tested just now to make sure, creating a user and then making it an admin doesn’t generate a warning.
We hook in to the WordPress core user creation functions to register when a user is created via WordPress admin, so that must mean that something in your site affects core WordPress functionality in a way that makes it impossible for us to detect when a user is created via WordPress admin. I haven’t heard this issue reported for WPML before so I don’t think that’s likely to be it. Typically it would be a plugin related to custom roles or membership that might cause it.
Hi @wfasa,
In that case it could be Members plugin related, I will monitor this issue, but while upgrade an existing user to admin is not a daily task 🙂 I will let it rest
Thanks for your time and effort!
Kind regards,
Ivar
