• As I am a WordPress freelancer I have to reset the sites for clients many times, to install new themes, I used it, and it do not show the menu nor redirect after activation in 10% of the cases, it’s not related to godaddy as you said, it’s related to how and what capabilities you require.

    Just a minute trying to solve the issue and I fixed your plugin, and this is how to fix it:
    in class-db-reset-admin.php line 115
    change ‘update_core’ to ‘manage_options’ or ‘administrator’ and you will get the tools menu.

    NOTE: I don’t understand why you use update_core as a capability? this is for updating files and can be disabled by some hosting, but manage_options is available for all administrators in all hosting

    Thanks for your feedback and I’ll be happy to update this. However, why the 1 star review? It’s a matter of me updating the admin file and re-pushing an update.

    Also, there have been times where users have emailed me and we have tried that as a solution and still doesn’t work. There are some server hosts that have strict custom admin capabilities.

    Sorry about the one star, but I found it’s the best way to get attention from dev, I can make it 5 stars if the issue solved.

    If I can have “Settings” menu, that require ‘manage_options’ then I can get your “reset” menu under tools. it’s that basic
    If hosting do not allow manage_options caps for administrator, so what the use of the admin role?
    As an alternative, you can use ‘administrator’ as a capability, and wordpress will know it’s for the administrator role.

    Maybe you have more capabilities written somewhere in the code, I just checked file. but this will solve 99% of issues

    I like to think that my support to make the plugin even better is not related to a 1-star review in any way. Although, it does help to know the issue beforehand so I can fix it.

    It is strange indeed why hosting would set such strict privileges but some of them do, and users who have emailed me have reported leaving their hosting because of this.

    Thanks for letting me know about this – I already made the update within the code. I will push an update as soon as I get home tonight.

    Updated to 3.0.2 – thanks again for pointing out the fix. Let me know if you have any other suggestions or feature requests.

    Take care.

    No, problem, I also experienced a nw issue once the UI redesign of your plugin, the button stay disabled even after I fill the tables and captcha input,
    This is because I don’t type the chars by keyboard, but I just select them then drag them to the input, this wont trigger the change event in jquery
    As a quick workaround, I had to press the enter key while the focus is in the input,
    maybe you should make a timer or something

    Sure, I’ll look into it.

    Hi ERROPIX, I added your feature request to the plugin and I will be pushing it in the next release.
