@Cédric: The first bug is really strange, but I will look for both. Have you a URL where I can see the problem or you are testing local? If I have a solution I let you know.

Hi!
Erstmal vielen Dank für dieses großartige PlugIn. Ich bin gerade dabei es ausgibig zu testen …
Dabei ist mir aufgefallen, dass wenn ich i.d. Settings die Einstellungen “Hide post titel”, “Hide complete posts”, “Hide page titel” und “Hide complete pages” alle auf YES setze, dass dann auch keine Links mehr angezeigt werden.
Da man die Links allerdings keiner Benutzer-Gruppe zuordnen kann, bzw. diese auf “allgemein zugänglich” schalten kann, bin ich etwas verwirrt. Ein Bug???
Ich würde mich sehr über weitere Versionen dieses PlugIns freuen. Frohes schaffen!

Awesome job! Keep up the good work!

For me the simple fact to activate the plugin makes that the tag cloud in the sidebar can only display the last tag (in alphabetical order).
If I want to add an user to a group, I must note the ID’s of these user and group to manually associate them in the database.
January 21st, 2009 at 4:27 pm
The first issue is a bug. Thanks for reporting this. The second issue must work. Use you Wordpress 2.7, have you install the core modifications or use you a other DB prefix as default? If you use a other prefix as the default one, its a bug. It will fixed at future releases. I guess the next release will come in 2-3 weeks.
January 21st, 2009 at 7:14 pm
I confirm that I use another prefix. Thx for your work.

Hi,
I think I’ll love your plugin (when it’s completely working, that is).
I wonder what the purpose is of the user column in your main table (actually I want to assign users to that access group, and I don’t know how).
You should also check formatting in the admin page on a large monitor (widescreen). The assign table/form does not show good

Hi,
dein Plugin hört sich super an und es ist genau das was ich suche aber leider habe ich probleme es zu konfigurieren, ich kann nicht sagen welcher Benutzer zu welcher Gruppe gehört, wo kann ich das einstellen?
February 15th, 2009 at 6:55 pm
Hi Alex,
I am very impressed by the functionality and approach, and I’m hopeful that it will meet my needs. I want to have content for everyone, for members, for board members, and for administrators. I’m stuck, though, unable to give permissions to visitors. When I set up the groups and the permissions, it seems to have blocked access by visitors to any content at all. So far, it’s installed only on localhost. This looks like an issue raised by Cedric. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you for doing this work.

As I mentioned to Alex in a separate email, I have resolved this issue. It was really my confusion over the semantics of selecting a resource (page, category, etc). I think it works this way: if a resource is not associated with a group, then it is open to everyone. If it is associated with at least one group, then it is restricted only to those groups with which it is associated. Understanding that, I have been able to make this work, and it works quite well.
Thanks

I installed the User Access Manager plugin (0.7.0.1) on a prototype Wordpress 2.7 site I am developing (accessed via a local Tomcat server). I ran in to a few problems, which I’m hoping are due to an installation error. I installed the plugin and replaced the template.php with the one you provided. Here are the problems I encountered:
– When I install User Access Manager, I lose the hierarchical structure of the categories displayed in the sidebar, and only those categories selected for the post are displayed – not the parent. For example, if I create a post under a category called “grandchild1″, which is the child of “child1″ and grandchild of “parent1″, I would expect the categories widget to display the posting as:
parent1
child1
grandchild1
instead I get:
grandchild1
I noticed a second problem when I updated a user group I created in User Access Manager. The settings I entered when I first set up the group were not displayed by default, and I had to re-enter these settings (members, categories, pages, etc) when I updated the group. If I update the group without re-entering my original settings, the group loses that information.
Do you think these problems are due to a bad setup of the plugin?
February 26th, 2009 at 11:24 am
Hi guys I’m at the moment a little busy with university stuff. But I will look at all problems and try to fix it. I think the new version comes in 1-2 weeks.
March 5th, 2009 at 10:09 pm
I installed the new version today on a fairly fresh wp install and there was an issue with the ‘ip_range’ column not being present. I added it manually but I thought you’d like to know.

Hello, GM_Alex,
I’m french user, so forgive me for my bad english.
It’s a very good plugin.
I’m gonna try the 0.8.0.2 version. Because after reading comments, I had nearly problem as cedrix and scott : when i set restriction acces on static page (to make it private) : it’s work. but when i want to make the same page as public again, that seems to not work. when i check on database, data still here. may be this version solve it, or i’m not good to use your plugin.
I would like to use WP as CMS, not as blog. Is it possible to extend your plugin to catergories of link and link : the idea is to use link and categories to make private/public navigation in wordpress with your access plugin.

Hi
This is a great plugin
I am wondering if this plugin will work with WordpressMU?
If not, would you be interested in developing in this direction?
May 21st, 2009 at 11:16 am
Hi Alex,
great plugin first of all!
I was wondering whether you are also intending to integrate tags in some way?
My feature request would essentially be a way to only display the tags of posts that can be accessed by a user. At the moment it seems that all tags, even those of the posts that cannot be accessed are displayed in a tag cloud.
May 31st, 2009 at 11:55 pm
Hi Alex,
Thanks for what must be a lot of time and effort making this plugin work! I recently ran across an issue that I have solved, and wanted to share my findings with you.
I was experiencing a problem where summaries of restricted posts would still show up on my home page, regardless of how I configured UAM and the restrictions on the post. Clicking on the summary would bring up a page of “not found” or some such thing, so the restricted post was being blocked, but its summary wasn’t. After a lot of digging around, I found that changing the theme fixed the problem. Being a programmer myself, I wondered why and dug into it.
It turns out that I was using a theme where the main index template was using the following loop instead of the standard Wordpress loop:
[code]
$myposts = get_posts();
if( $myposts ): foreach($myposts as $post): setup_postdata($post);
[/code]
You’ll recall that the standard loop looks more like:
[code]
if( have_posts()): while( have_posts() ) : the_post();
[/code]
Anyway, changing the loop in my original theme resolved the problem, so it would seem that get_posts() is not adhering to the restrictions imposed by UAM. I haven’t bothered to figure out why, and I don’t know if there’s anything you can do about it from UAM, but I wanted to bring it to your attention regardless.
Thanks again for a great plugin!

Hi,
Love your plugin, but I’m now having problems with my media library. Photo’s have disappeared; updating/editing the posts doesn’t help and uploading new ones doesn’t show them (everything seesm to work, pictures just don’t show).
In the plugin comments it says:
“Note: If you activate the plugin your upload dir will protect by a ‘.htaccess’ with a random password and all old media files insert in a previous post/page will not work anymore. You have to update your posts/pages. If you use already a ‘.htaccess’ file to protect your files the plugin will overwrite the ‘.htaccess’. You can disabel the file locking and set up an other password for the ‘.htaccess’ file at the UAM setting page.”
and I’m wondering if the UAM is interfering with the media.
Playing with settings hasn’t helped (locking files on/off).
I’m using WP 2.8.1. Grateful for some help.

0.9.1.3
admin panel shows always all the categories… to hide when needed this change worked for me :
3205 show_category :
1 – Array of arrays to single array of id’s
foreach ($restrictedcategories as $x => $f)
$restrictedcategories [$x] = $f ['category_id'] ;
2 – doppel loop :
foreach($categories as $category) {
foreach($restrictedcategories as $restrictedcategory) {
replace inner one with this code :
if (($ind = array_search ($category -> term_id, $restrictedcategories)) !== false) {
$q = “SELECT category_id FROM “.DB_ACCESSGROUP_TO_USER.” agtu, “.DB_ACCESSGROUP_TO_CATEGORY.” agtc WHERE agtu.user_id = “.$current_user->ID.” AND agtu.group_id = agtc.group_id AND agtc.category_id = “.$category -> term_id ;
$access = $wpdb -> get_results ($q, ARRAY_A);
if (! count ($access)) {
$restrict_categories [$category -> term_id] = $category;
continue ;
}
}
$show_categories [$category -> term_id] = $category;
It allows me to hide restricted categories from editors who arent in allowed groups.
I hope it helps somebody

Simple Question: Why does [L] show after the title of a locked page when the page is loaded. Is there any way to get that off the display? Thank you!
September 22nd, 2009 at 5:47 pm
I have it installed and only want every visitor to authenticate (register) in order to view PAGES, but POSTS can always be visible to all, I thought I did it right, but I (as a regular user) can see everything all the time, regardles of I login or not – help me Obi-wan Kanobi….you’re my only hope!
January 4th, 2010 at 11:52 am
Great plugin.
However I am using custom fields and the custom field search plugin to produce a simple datastore which returns posts based on values of 3 custom fields. This works fine as the search is only displayed on the restricted page. However if an unauthenticated user uses the standard search they get the hidden post with content Sorry you have no rights! and then all the custom field values in full. For now I have used if $metadataContent == “Sorry you have no rights!” to get round this as the site went live this week. Could you tell me how I can change my code for showing the customfields so that they remain hidden if the post is protected.
<?php if (isset($customField[0])) {echo "Preferences (Date Idea) “.$customField[0];}; ?>

Hallo Alex,
super Tool.
Ich bekomme beim Kommentare schreiben aber folgende Fehlermeldung:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/www/wordpress/wp-content/themes/fusion/comments.php on line 31
In der angesprochenen Zeile steht :
foreach ($comments as $comment)
Hast Du einen Hinweis woran das liegen kann?
Danke
Michael
