    Hello,

    I went to Settings => General and added restrictions under “Restrict wp-admin”. Now, I thought it would only restrict users from the GEO Directory Nav tabs in the admin panel. However, the roles I added to restrict, apparently affected my administrator profile and the whole website, not just the Geo Directory Nav Tabs in the admin panel as I thought. Now no one can log into the admin panel when GEO Directory is installed. Effectively, becoming unusable so I had to delete the plugin to gain access again.

    Where can I find this change in the DB to adjust it? I didn’t think it would be in the files because when I installed a new version of the plugin, the same thing happened and blocked all administrators from the website’s admin panel again.

    Am I wrong? Did this happen in the files or DB. We are using wp_bp_xprofile_data.

    How can I remove these user restrictions in the DB so that it can allow the plugin to work correctly again? It only blocks us when the plugin is activated and it only happened after we added more roles into the “Restrict wp-admin”.

    I would like to take it back to the simple “Subscriber” and maybe a couple others. And why would it restrict top administrators, I assume those accounts should always have access no matter the case. It is easier to change the access level to restrict them. Need some help please.

    Thank you, any help would be great. I am a paid member and have multiple addons with your plugin but I do not find anywhere I can request a support ticket or even hire anyone with this company.

    Hello,

    You may be using a plugin that allows more than one role per user. Be careful not to restrict any roles that are ALSO appplied to your own account. The field works on OR logic. If you have this role OR that role.

    If you are having trouble because the role restrictions are saved in the db, then please share the following credentials so we can fix that for you. I fyo udo not have DB credentials please share CPanel access.

    WordPress Credentials
    WP Admin Login URL:
    WP Admin Username:
    WP Admin Password:

    FTP Credentials
    FTP Host:
    FTP Port:
    FTP User:
    FTP Password:

    DB Credentials
    DB PHPMyAdmin URL:
    DB Name:
    DB User:
    DB Password:

    Where can I provide you with these credentials? Is this a private chat? or can you email me direct?

    Additionally, it would help if you could also point me in the right direction. Where could I find these roles restrictions for Geo Directory so that I may remove them?

    Can I go somewhere in the DB or files to remove the restrictions? I already took a look at all the GD tables in my DB a did not see anything related to role restrictions.

    Thank you

    Thank you but Nevermind, We found a solution to the dual roles. We are good for now.

    It seems we are still having trouble with the MAPS working properly. We see the maps come up but shuts down 1 second after it displays. Any help with this?

    Hi Angel,

    Thanks for your reply. Could you share your Website WP admin access here in private reply so that we could troubleshoot this further for you?

    Yes, GD Map has options to filter by categories. To adjust the options, either edit the widget options or use the shortcode builder. In either case use the blue button to reveal all the advanced options including filters.
