Troubleshooting and FAQ

Troubleshooting and FAQ

Groups or Types do not appear on a profile

Create at least one term in the taxonomy. Empty user taxonomies intentionally omit their assignment table. Also confirm that show_ui is enabled and that the current user can edit the target user and assign terms.

A user cannot change their own membership

The taxonomy may use managed => true, or its assign_terms capability may require more than the current account has. Administrators with manage_options may manage a managed taxonomy.

Is a Group the same as a WordPress role?

No. Roles and capabilities control authorization. Groups and Types are taxonomy relationships intended for classification and integration.

Does the plugin create or modify database tables?

No. It uses WordPress's existing taxonomy and term-relationship tables.

What happens when the plugin is disabled?

The taxonomy registrations and interfaces disappear, but terms and relationships are not deleted. Registering the same taxonomy names again makes the data available.

Why is a user missing from a filtered list?

Confirm that the user is directly assigned to the selected term. Parent-child term hierarchy does not imply membership in the parent.
