Can you provide more information? e.g. What page was this on?
Upon activation of plugin, and on every admin (and front-end) page at the top. Also in the admin menu above Zotpress: Notice: has_cap was called with an argument that is deprecated since version 2.0! Usage of user levels by plugins and themes is deprecated. Use roles and capabilities instead. in …wordpress/wp-includes/functions.php on line 2923
If you set wp-config argument define('WP_DEBUG', true); should light up like an x-mas tree.
(Thanks for the awesome plugin BTW – exactly what I’ve been dreaming up in my head for a while…)
I think this is a WP bug – I found the following function in wp-includes/capabilities.php
function has_cap( $cap ) {
$capabilities = apply_filters( 'role_has_cap', $this->capabilities, $cap, $this->name );
if ( !empty( $capabilities[$cap] ) )
return $capabilities[$cap];
else
return false;
}
}
I wonder if that has_cap should not be role_has_cap – I did make the change and uploaded the file and still getting same error – hv done seaches on all plugins and my theme and the words has_cap doesnt appear in any except the wp-includes/capabilities.php of WP3.5.1
also this on the same page – wp-includes/capabilities.php – from this code we can see where the error msg is being generated.
/**
* Whether user has capability or role name.
*
* This is useful for looking up whether the user has a specific role
* assigned to the user. The second optional parameter can also be used to
* check for capabilities against a specific object, such as a post or user.
*
* @since 2.0.0
* @access public
*
* @param string|int $cap Capability or role name to search.
* @return bool True, if user has capability; false, if user does not have capability.
*/
function has_cap( $cap ) {
if ( is_numeric( $cap ) ) {
_deprecated_argument( __FUNCTION__, '2.0', __('Usage of user levels by plugins and themes is deprecated. Use roles and capabilities instead.') );
$cap = $this->translate_level_to_cap( $cap );
}
$args = array_slice( func_get_args(), 1 );
$args = array_merge( array( $cap, $this->ID ), $args );
$caps = call_user_func_array( 'map_meta_cap', $args );
// Multisite super admin has all caps by definition, Unless specifically denied.
if ( is_multisite() && is_super_admin( $this->ID ) ) {
if ( in_array('do_not_allow', $caps) )
return false;
return true;
}
// Must have ALL requested caps
$capabilities = apply_filters( 'user_has_cap', $this->allcaps, $caps, $args );
$capabilities['exist'] = true; // Everyone is allowed to exist
foreach ( (array) $caps as $cap ) {
if ( empty( $capabilities[ $cap ] ) )
return false;
}
return true;
}

Strange, I DO have debug mode on, and I’m not receiving any of these messages.
Zotpress uses “current_user_can” to prevent non-editors (and non-admins) from accessing the Zotpress pages.
What is your account role? Could another plugin or theme be interfering?

Are these issues still occurring?

I’m going to close this thread due to inactivity — please feel free to re-open if you’re still encountering this issue.
I’m having this issue now. I don’t know what happened to cause it to change between yesterday and today, but I’m now getting the wp_enqueue_script errors too.

I think this happens when your host turns on debugging features, including warnings. Is the script working or just throwing these messages? When I turn on debugging there’s warnings, too.
You know what? I did turn on debugging. Thanks!
