Role editor resets capabilities

    I assign custom capabilities, save, and later they revert. Is it a conflict with another membership plugin?

    Hi @yusefclass,

    Thanks for reaching out. I looked into this for you.

    The Members plugin saves capability changes directly to the WordPress database, so once you hit save, those changes should stick permanently — even if the plugin is deactivated. If they are reverting on their own, that is a strong indicator that another plugin on your site is resetting or overwriting the role capabilities after Members saves them.

    You are right to suspect a conflict with another membership plugin. Many membership or role-management plugins re-register their own set of capabilities when they load, which can undo changes made through the Members role editor.

    Here’s what we’d like you to please check:

    1. Deactivate the other membership/role editor plugins you suspect, then make your capability changes in Members and save.
    2. Wait the amount of time it normally takes for the revert to happen, then check whether the capabilities are still in place.
    3. If the capabilities hold, reactivate the other plugin and check again. If they revert at that point, you have confirmed the conflict.

    Looking forward to hearing how it goes.
