Este plugin **no ha sido probado con ninguna las 3 últimas versiones principales
de WordPress**. Puede que ya no se mantenga o no tenga soporte, y puede que tenga
problemas de compatibilidad cuando se utiliza con versiones más recientes de WordPress.

## Descripción

This plugin allows you to select multiple roles for a user – something that WordPress
already supports “under the hood”, but doesn’t provide a user interface for.

User edit and Add new user screens will display a checklist of roles instead of 
the default role dropdown. The main user list screen will also display all roles
a user has.

It also supports well Multisite mode.

That’s it. No extra settings.

## Instalación

#### Automatic Install

 1. Log into your WordPress dashboard and go to Plugins → Add New
 2. Search for “Multiple Roles”
 3. Click “Install Now” under the Multiple Roles plugin
 4. Click “Activate Now”

#### Manual Install

 1. Download the plugin from the download button on this page
 2. Unzip the file, and upload the resulting `multiple-roles` folder to your `/wp-content/
    plugins` directory
 3. Log into your WordPress dashboard and go to Plugins
 4. Click “Activate” under the Multiple Roles plugin

## FAQ

### Who can edit users roles?

Anyone with the `promote_users` capability. By default, that means only administrators
and network administrators on multi-site.

### Can you edit your own roles?

If you’re a network administrator on a multi-site setup, yes, you can edit your 
roles in sites of that network. Otherwise, no. This is how WordPress works normally
too.

### I’m on the user edit screen – where’s the checklist of roles?

It’s underneath the default profile stuff, under the heading “Permissions”. If you
still can’t find it, you might be on your own profile page, or you might not have
the `promote_users` capability.

### Can you remove all roles from a user?

Sure. The user will still be able to log in and out, but won’t be able to access
any admin screens or see private pages. However, the user will still be able to 
see the WP Toolbar by default, which displays links to the Dashboard and Profile
screens, so clicking on those will result in seeing a permission error.

Thank you for this plugin, this is the cleanest interface to add multiple roles 
that I’ve seen. The popular User Role Editor plugin should take this as an example
of good UX.

Installed this on my 4.9.5 site and performance was severely degraded. This was 
the first thing I disabled in order to troubleshoot and it was like night and day.
Recommend finding an alternate solution unless this issue is addressed.
