Non-Critical RS Update focuses on Plugin Compatibility

Role Scoper 1.0.8 is now available to fix plugin conflicts with Simple Section Navigation, My Category Order, Flutter and Capability Manager.  The SSN and Category Order fixes were accomplished by improving Role Scoper’s overall page and term filtering logic.  This is most visible in new RS Options which allow more control over how pages and categories are displayed under visible grandparents when their immediate parents are hidden.

By popular demand, a Role Scoper option now allows you to limit scoped role assignment to blog-wide Editors or to only blog-wide Administrators.

Also included in this release are some improvements to the filtering of unattached uploads in the Media Library.

The full change log:

  • Feature : Option to prevent non-Administrators from assigning or viewing content-specific roles
  • Feature : For front-end Page and Category listings, parent remapping behavior is now adjustable via RS Options
  • Change : When a depth limit is specified for pages/categories listing, default to enforcing that limit based on actual depth prior to parent remap
