 * When I change the capabilities of a role, they revert back to how they previously
   where: [https://gyazo.com/c62baf8d2d1b79c64b56644c0d467e5d](https://gyazo.com/c62baf8d2d1b79c64b56644c0d467e5d)
 * These roles were create with Ultimate Member, but I would have thought they’d
   be editable by this plugin. Using the Pro version.

 * I’m having the same trouble too. After editing capabilities for a custom post
   type, for example, and clicking update, the capabilities don’t save.
 * Anyone have insight on this issue?
 * Thanks

 * I have the same issue on one of my sites. Can anyone confirm that when they add
   a custom capability, it not only adds a line for that capability to the table,
   but also one with “0” in the capability?
 * I disabled all plugins and the issue persists. It does not happen on a vanilla
   WP installation, though.
 * Maybe that helps anyone else to narrow it down a bit further.
