Role Scoper isn't that big a success…

Hi!

A while ago I installed the plugin Role Scoper on my Wordpress powered site, just to test what it was capable of.

Now after deactivation of the plugin, sometimes pages doesn't load. Like they are not there. When I log in to the admin, I see the pages. If I watch my site frontend while I'm logged in, the missing pages will appear again.

Then I log out, and the pages disappear again! Quite fast I figured out it had to have something to do with rights and roles, as my pages would be visible when I was logged in.

But now I've cleaned my db. I simply dropped all the tables that had been created by Role Scoper, and even cleaned up after a couple of other plugins.

But my site keeps failing. Sometimes certain pages are loaded/visible, sometimes they're not. It's really strange…

Anyone experienced the same thing? Or could think of an solution?

Any help is appreciated!

I can't tell from that description whether Role Scoper is the cause of your trouble.

There are a few other settings that might be left behind if Role Scoper was not deactivated cleanly, but they wouldn't explain those symptoms:

  • page_children in your options table (can delete via phpMyAdmin)
  • some entries in your .htaccess file (can force regeneration by re-saving Permalink settings)

Any chance you made some other changes while Role Scoper was activated (maybe set some pages to Private visibility)? Also keep in mind that if you modified WP Role Definitions via Capability Manager / Role Manager plugin, Role Scoper deactivation will not revert those.

The "isn't that big a success" subject comes across as a wild swing. Did you find the plugin didn't work as described/needed, or are you just mad because you think it messed up your pages? I am willing to help diagnose your site but please don't blacklist RS over it until we can confirm causes.

FYI, I'm going to bed now… just so you don't think I'm ignoring you.

If you want me to take a look at your installation or talk over any other details, we'll need to do it Thursday morning. I have other commitments from Thursday afternoon through Sunday.

Hi Kevin!

Thank you so much for trying to help… What I mean by no success, is that when I deactivate a plugin, I expect it to be "gone". Then it shouldn't have any effect anymore.

Furthermore I never used the plugin on the pages which are now causing me problems. I only used the plugin for a certain part of my site, a client section.

So by no success I mean, the plugin has an effect after uninstalling, dropping tables, etc., and an effect on pages which never had anything to do with the plugin, roles, or anything else.

I'm not mad, but I'm frustrated about an important part of my site is failing at the moment.

I've searched my db for page_children without any luck. What you're saying about my .htaccess file I don't really understand.

Arnii is smiling again! I corresponded with him to correct the subpage display.

There was some template code using rewind_posts(), query_posts($custom_query) that receieved a false have_posts() result even when the query should have returned posts.

I corrected this by changing the template code to a more direct approach: $subposts=get_posts($custom_query); foreach( $subposts…

Kevin, thanks! You're the man…

And yes, now I can leave office smiling. Go home and keep the rest of the day off (it's 7.45PM here)

Thanks…
