I am trying to: modify an existing role or create a custom role

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link

I expected to see: The form for creating a new role when I pressed the Add a new role button or to see the permissions for existing roles when I clicked the See permissions link

Instead, I got: nothing. Access just stayed on the custom roles list screen.

The permissions links are just links to "#" on the same page. The button appears to try to do something but the dialog never appears.

I tried disabling the Wordfence firewall in case it was causing the issue but nothing changed.

I found the problem. The Give donation plugin seems to break Toolset Types Access' admin UI. I will also let them know as I'm not sure whether GiveWP or Toolset is at fault here.

I was able to work around my issue by disabling Give long enough to create the role and set the permissions but obviously it would be good to fix this issue the right way in the long run.

Hi, I've seen this conflict with the Give plugin before. Can you try the patch file and instructions found in this erratum post:
https://toolset.com/errata/styling-conflict-kingcomposer-crowdfunding-active/

Let me know if the problem is not resolved with Give and Access active together.

The patch did fix the issue. Looking forward to seeing it included in a release so it doesn't have to be manually applied.
