@cebuss thank you for reporting and detailing the steps you took to fix the issue!!! (and still liking ASE!)
I’ll try to find a solution for this in an upcoming release, hopefully sooner than later.
@qriouslad No worries, thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
Was a definite face-palm moment when I realised I was basically locked out, really should have set up a test admin to play with rather than use super admin account. You live and learn (in my case frequently!), and on the plus side now I know the meta-values of the various standard roles and how easy it is to change a users role via the database 🙂
Not sure how many others would have a similar set-up as I do on the site in question nor how many would be as daft as I was but figured worth documenting how to get out of jail in case someone blindly follows in my footsteps.
As mentioned, pretty sure all the other plugins I’ve tried for this functionality kicked you back to normal role on logout which is handy. No idea how complex that’d be but I have no doubt you’ll figure out a fail-safe.
Didn’t have time to test your plugin out since then, but like I said, looks like a keeper so far. I just have to cross-reference a few things to see if I will be able to change over and ditch a handful of plugins (for example, I only recently installed Imsanity, and your plugin covers the functionality I installed that plugin for) and various code snippets or not.
You’ve definitely touched on if not fully covered a few things I use and overlap a number of plugins, so looking forward to getting time to investigate further.
