Getting started

Installing Roleline Pro

Add Roleline Pro to a site that runs Roleline, and where its features appear.

Note

This is part of Roleline Pro.

Roleline Pro is an add-on: it needs the free Roleline plugin, which keeps doing everything it does.

Install

  1. Make sure Roleline is installed and active (Plugins → Add New Plugin, search for Roleline).
  2. Download roleline-pro.zip from your purchase email or your account on extendiment.com.
  3. Go to Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin, choose the zip, then Install Now and Activate.
  4. Enter your license key under Roleline Pro on the Plugins screen, so updates arrive (see Licenses and updates).

WordPress won't activate Roleline Pro without Roleline, and won't deactivate Roleline while Roleline Pro is active.

Where to find it

  • An Access box beside the editor of posts, pages and other public content, and Access fields on categories and tags.
  • A Visibility panel in every block's settings in the block editor.
  • Show to under each item on Appearance → Menus.
  • Until dates next to the roles on a user's profile.
  • New tabs on Users → Roles: Content access, Login redirects, Compare and Capability usage.

If you deactivate it

Its rules stay saved but aren't applied until it's active again: restricted content, blocks and menu items are visible to everyone, login redirects stop and temporary roles don't end. Roleline lists what's affected under Users → Roles. When you click Deactivate, Roleline Pro says so and asks whether its data should be kept if you later delete it.
