User Access Manager 1.0
Today I released the User Access Manager Version 1.0. Since the Beta 2 I try to fix all known bugs and speed the User Access Manager up. I think now it’s fast and stable. I would thank all people which help me to find bugs and fix speed issues. Some people send me the following error report:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /users/web/wp-content/plugins/user-access-manager/class/UserAccessManager.class.php on line 32
or
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /home/content/b/o/a/boatmik/html/wp/wp-content/plugins/user-access-manager/user-access-manager.php on line 87
That means you use a php version < php 5, but the User Access Manager needs at least php 5. Also some people say the use php 5 but the don’t. If you think you are using php 5 and get this error please download this file, extract it, upload the content to your webspace and run it: PHP Test. This will show you your php version.
What’s coming next? I will develop an plugin api that other plugin authors can use the access management of the User Access Manager in there plugins.

Hello.
Locking files works great, if you upload images, it shows only for logged users.
But, if you upload any other file type(zip,pdf,txt,mp3) it does not work. the file simply wont show even if your logged in (maybe its something on the .htaccess file that preventing from opening this kind of files). Anyway. Thanks for the plug-in, been using it for a while and it works very well. keep up the good work.
Hi Alex,
I am having a problem with UAM, I am working with WordPress 3.0 and have the following plugins installed (all in one seo, official statcounter plugin, Peter’s login redirect, UAM, and wp-db backup) Under setting of UAM when I check YES to lock files, and then upload a file and try to go to that file’s url it says file doesn’t exist but when I turn off the lock files option the file is back there. Any suggestion to what might be causing this? also i have download type as normal.
how do I run the phptest.php on my webspace?
Just upload the file to your webspace and call the location in which you have uploaded it in your browser. For example: If you upload it to your WordPress root dir and the url of your blog is “http://www.myblog.com” call “http://www.myblog.com/phptest.php”.
THank you for your prompt reply.
It says that I have 4.4.9
Is there any way that your plug-in can be made to work with this version?
The best way is to update your php version. Ask your provider if he can update you php version. I think that is the easiest way.
Thanks! That worked!
Is there a way to replace the message, “Sorry you have no rights to view this page” with something else, and include a link to another page?
Go to the settings page of the UAM. There you can change nearly everything.
This plugin is fantastic, and exactly what I was looking for minus one small thing. (This is unless I have the settings wrong?)
Is it possible to hide posts not belonging to the user so that they only see their own posts when logged into the WP Dashboard?
I am not able to change the access of individual users. All users that I enter have access to all groups, and the checkboxes to the groups for a user are all grayed out, so I cannot change them. How do I change user access levels?
Is there a documentation page?
I would like to add a client logi page, what do I put in the page to achieve this please?
I posted the following bug report on WP:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-events-calendar-interference-between-events-calendar-and-user-access-manager
I need a solution! I’m still using UAM 0.9.x because, starting with v1.0.x it makes Events Calendar not to work any more. The thing that does not work is the opening of the tooltip on mouse-over on days with some event.
If I just disable UAM, then the tooltip is shown (or if I use the older version)
Can you tack what is wrong between the two plugins?
Thanks, Frank

Tried to install this, got an error. Am running PHP Version 5.2.17, according to your phptest.php.
Here’s the error:
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
Fatal error: Call to a member function getAdminOptions() on a non-object in /hermes/bosweb/web256/b2564/ipg.ergologicbandcom/rfap/wp-content/plugins/user-access-manager-nextgen-gallery-extension/class/UamNgg.class.php on line 52
Hello, this plugin is really great, but there is one thing missing for me. Perhaps I only didn’t find it.
Is it possible to set “protected” or “Access” to default by admin, so that when an author writes a new post, it is always set to “protected” without him having the possibilyty to set on the hook?
This would make the plugin perfect.
Thanks in Advance…
Hi. Great plugin…however, I’ve set 3 groups up, but they each automatically get assigned access to the other groups – and under Users – the UAM section is there with all 3 groups ticked – and I can not untick them….so each group has access to everything! Running WP version 3.0.5…Please can you help! Thanks!
function reference…
hello there – using your plugin and its ace but i need to add some code on page-forms.php so different users see different forms. Can’t seem to find any func ref anywhere?!
basically; if(groupA){ show content }elseif(groupB){
}… etc.
is this possible? Many thanks, Dc.
I cannot activate this pluging, i get this error code
Fatal error: Call to a member function getAdminOptions() on a non-object in /home/micha147/public_html/mmp/wp-content/plugins/user-access-manager-nextgen-gallery-extension/class/UamNgg.class.php on line 52
This plugin is exactly what i need but I’m having problems with the CalendarPress plugin. I set the Calendar page as private but anyone can see it still, eventhough the other pages are private and providing the correct message to non-members. Any help would be greatly apprecatied. Thanks!
Hi – I am getting the following error – You setup fopen as download type for file at the User Access Manager settings, but for this option safe_mode=off is required. Please change the settings. – I am running Plesk Control Panel 10.2 and PHP 5.1. Safe mode is already set to off. Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Alex, thanks for this very nive plugin. Is it possible to show only the excerpt. The more tag is not working on my theme. Theme used the excerpt. Would be great if this option can be add.
Thanks in advance.

Hello
Is there a way to add users to different groups automatically from register form with your plugin?
anybody knows how can this be acomplished?
thank you
I love the user access manager plugin. So far, so good! It’s just what I needed for a little non-profit Home Owner’s Association site.
One feature that I’d like is for those who are logged on to be able to see a message such as: Hi, So-and-So! You are logged on.”
The message could be moved to the desired location and colored as desired with CSS.
When an error occurs accessing the plug-in.
I have a charset = ISO-8859-1

Could you confirm whether UAM plugin installs any .htaccess or .htpasswd files? (in particular in “upload” directory).
thx
Hi Alex, thanks for the great plugin. Can you explain how you protect the data? Is it via .htaccess? And how secure do you consider the protection?
Can you think of a fall-back plan if the plugin is deactivated? At the moment all data gets accessible in this case.
Thanks a lot,
christoph
Love this plugin!!! I have posted this issue also in the WP forum area. But I just wanted to see what your timing might be on this fix.
This plugin works great on my IXwebhosting account for the dev site, but when I moved it to a Wild West Domain for the live site, (which is running PHP Version 5.2.17) – I get the following errors.
If you do a search for this, you will see many sites are also pulling this error.
Here’s the error:
Warning: Missing argument 2 for get_term(), called in /home/content/89/8450989/html/wp-content/plugins/user-access-manager/class/UserAccessManager.class.php on line 1763 and defined in /home/content/89/8450989/html/wp-includes/taxonomy.php on line 833

any help is appreciated!
When I create users I am not able to change their access groups, they ready only. I am just setting up the plugin and trying to test it out. Any help would be great.
Thanks!
So far UAM works great. Thank you. It’s not too complicated nor bulky as some other solutions. It’s just enough to have some ‘privacy’-restrictions into my private-family-and-friends-only-blog. Great work, thanks!
I also found the very early bèta NextGen Extension but unfortunately that one screws up FancyBox/LightBox: it shows all the pics (it doesn’t do anything?) but also it shows the enlarged pics into a brand new screen instead of the fancy popup…
Is this still one of your project and if so what exactly is it’s goal? Is it create a UAM-controlled picturelist for example?
Hallo Alex,
ich verwende Dein PlugIn in einer BuddyPress Installation und habe heute nach Monaten Einsatz mit Schrecken bemerkt, dass die geschützten Posts samt geschützten Attachments in der “Activity”-Liste frei zugänglich sind.
Das macht natürlich alles zunichte. Ist Dir dieses Problem bekannt? Kannst Du dir eine Lösung vorstellen?
Herzliche Grüße aus Wien,

I have PHP 5.2.17 wtih WP 3.3.
I get WP Blank Screen of Death. From the error_log, it shows PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function has_cap() on a non-object in /home/xxxorg/public_html/xxxvideo/wp-content/plugins/user-access-manager/class/UamAccessHandler.class.php on line 732
What is the next step to fix it?
WordPress doesn’t find UAM. When I follow the link on this page:
“Whoops!
We couldn’t find that plugin. Maybe you were looking for one of these?”
Hi,
I need an information. How can I modify the text of the mail that UAM send the first time with the user and the pwd? Thank you
Lara
Hi Alex,
I am having conflict issues with “WP Last Login” and “ThreeWP Activity Monitor” plugins.
When UAM is active, these plugins do not show login information on the user overview page.
Can you please check that.
I have notified the other plugin developers as well.
Thank you.
Lieber Alex,
bis jetzt das einzige mir bekannte plugin (bis ich das endlich gefunden hatte!), welches mir bequem den zugriff auf individuelle upload-dateien steuern lässt.
einziger nachteil: die lock funktion macht meine seite ungehäuerlich langsam, vor allem bei thumbnail seiten!
gibts da optimier-möglichkeit?
adresse für live-demo bitte per e-mail anfragen.
danke und liebe grüsse.
Hi,
I’ve been using UAM for quite a while and it’s been working very well, but recently my hosting company complained about the resources I’m using for this site. In trying to optimize my site I fins UAM is using the most resources of any plugin I use, which is saying something considering all the stuff I have running. Is this something you are aware of and are working on?
I ran P3 to do the analysis and it showed UAM to be using nearly three times as many resources as the other plugins.
Using UAM — have a problem, when trying to set individual groups for users, all new users are automatically assigned to all existing groups and then I can not unselect a group box on the user profile page! This is not helpful. Can you advise what should be done?
Is there a setting to notify the administrator when a user has submitted a page or post for review?
This is just what I have been looking for, very easy to create a members-only area for restricted access to certain pages.
Hi Alex,
Is there a know cause > solution > fix for this problem: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-is-duplicating-posts-in-the-database
??
We are running into that. It seems the issue could be related to autoincrementing and mysql datatypes (varchar vs. int).
Awesome plugin — but the duplicates are alarming and untenable.
Thank you!
Anyone up for customizing “User Access Manager” for me. I’m happy to pay for the following…
I use WordPress with the “User Access Manager” plugin to maintain a private membership site. I want a custom plugin to simplify something I do often.
Specifically, I want a single admin page which will do the following:
Take the following Input:
* user group: name, description
* post category: name, slug, description
* list of users: email, name
Perform the following
* Create a “User Access Manager” user group with the specified name and description (default for other user group fields)
* Create a Post category with specified name, slug, description.
* Setup the user group for the new category (to the new user group)
* For each user in list, do the following:
* If user doesn’t exist yet, create a new one with a generated username and password (which should trigger an email to the user with the username/password).
* Add the new user group for each user.
* Subscribe each user to the new category, so that they receive an email each time a post is added to the category (but not other categories which they don’t have access to).
Other Considerations
* No other posts, categories, groups, or users should be affected
* Ideally, the plugin should keep working when I update to new versions of User Access Manager
Hi Alex,
First, thanks for a great plugin! I searched far and wide for a simple access plugin that just works.
Not sure if you are still maintaining given post dates here, but I have one annoying glitch that I have narrowed down to the UAM plugin regarding hierarchical menus. Here’s the scenario:
- With a subscriber logged in
- Them using Safari on iPad
- TwentyEleven theme
- Menus with child menus do not work. When tapped, they flicker twice and then you can’t follow the main parent link or child links.
- With the user logged out, everything works fine.
- Without UAM installed or activated, everything works fine.
I created a test site with only UAM installed and the glitch pops up as soon as UAM is activated.
I tried commenting out your wp_get_nav_menu_items filter and a couple other things, but to no effect.
Any ideas? If you don’t have time to look, can you point me in right direction? What other parts of UAM touch menu code or CSS?
Thanks!!
Cheers, -Dan
WP User Access Manager – access for common visitors?
Using Version 1.2.4.2 of UAM, I added access to several pages/post for specified groups only. But: If I do so, common visitors don’t have read access to the whole site any more! How can I manage that only specified logged-in users can modify a page/post, but everyone – also non-logged-in-users – can view all pages/posts?
Thanks, Sven
Please update to version 1.2.4.3, this was an bug of version 1.2.4.2 which is fixed in version 1.2.4.3.
