- Bugs for multi-site WordPress network installation were discovered and fixed: 1) blocked login to admin back-end; 2) empty users list for administrators of single sites; 3) empty authors drop down list at the post editor page.
- If URE plugin is not enabled for single site administrator, then URE is automatically excluded from plugins list available to that administrator. - 3.5 = 19.02.2012
- User Role Editor could be available now for single site administrators (Administrator role) under multi-site environment. You should define URE_ENABLE_SIMPLE_ADMIN_FOR_MULTISITE constant in your blog wp-config.php file for that. Insert this line “define(‘URE_ENABLE_SIMPLE_ADMIN_FOR_MULTISITE’, 1);” there, if you decide to give single site admin such opportunity.
- One of “User Role Editor” users with 1100+ sites in the multi-site network reported that URE doesn’t update roles for all sites, but stalls somewhere in the middle. Other network update method is realized as alternative. Due to my tests it works approximately 30 times faster. If you met the same problem, try it. It will be great if you share your experience with me. In order select alternative method of all sites update add this line to you blog wp-config.php file “define(‘URE_MULTISITE_DIRECT_UPDATE’, 1);”. But be careful. It’s recommended to make 1st try on the backup copy, not on a live site.
- Persian translation is updated. Thanks to [Parsa](http://parsa.ws). - 3.4 = 21.01.2012
- You can see/edit “Administrator” role now. Insert this line of code “define(‘URE_SHOW_ADMIN_ROLE’, 1);” into your wp-config.php file and login with administrator account for that.
- If for some reason your Administrator role missed some capabilities added by plugins or themes, you can fix that. But be careful with changing “Administrator” role, do not turn off accidentally some critical capabilities to not block your admin users. - 3.3.3 = 11.01.2012
- Spanish (Dario) and Swedish (Andréas) translations update. - 3.3.2 = 02.01.2012
- Enhance server side validation for user input of new role name, minor bug fixes. - 3.3.1 = 12.12.2011
