Role Scoper 1.1-RC3 Fixes Category Listing

Proving once again that

  1. User feedback is important and effective
  2. I’m not too proud to publish two release candidates in one day

… I give you Role Scoper 1.1 RC3.  This fixes a high profile bug reported in the support forum:

  • BugFix : Filtering of the category listing was disabled on first-time installations and after re-saving RS Options.  This did not affect actual content access or posting rights – just the displayed category list / checkboxes.

The category filtering issue had nothing to do with WordPress 2.9.  It stemmed from changes to the way category filtering is enabled / disabled.  These changes allowed me to simplify the user interface for Roles > Options > Advanced.

A more obscure issue is also fixed:

  • BugFix : Invalid HTML formatting of Page Parent dropdown if no published pages exist
