User sentiment analysis

Users of the WordPress plugin appreciate its extensive customization capabilities, intuitive interface, and robust support, especially for managing multiple user roles and permissions. The plugin is praised for its effectiveness in controlling backend access, customizing user capabilities, and managing WooCommerce functionalities. However, some users report conflicts with image text fields, crashes when editing specific permissions, and permanent changes that require manual undo through the database. Despite a few critical issues, most users find the plugin powerful and essential for sites with multiple contributors, highlighting its ability to simplify complex user management tasks and its responsive support team.

I’m using a few plugins by this company, and they’re all super helpful to us. We use ‘Authors’ to allow for multiple authors, and this one ‘capabilities’ to control what users/roles have access to when they log in. What’s amazing about this plugin is not only that it fills gaps in feature sets for WordPress, but that they have a highly responsive, very helpful and friendly support team. This to me, is a HUGE value, as some of the ‘consulting’ that they’ve offered as we have tried to solve problems we ran into, were worth way more than the price of the plugin! They should seriously have a tip jar. For now, leaving a nice review is one way I feel like I can give back to their team. Great job!
