[Resolved] Delete and rename custom roles name

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The issue here is that the user wanted to know if it was possible to rename a role after it was created in Access.

Solution:

Unfortunately no this is not possible to do in access. What you would need to do is to look for it in the wp_options table in your database under the row wp_user_roles .

Hello,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

You're unable to rename the user roles however you can delete them by hovering over the role and clicking the delete button in Access.

Please let me know if this helps.

Thanks,
Shane

Hello,

What would need to do is to look for it in the wp_options table under the row wp_user_roles .

You should be able to find your user role there and rename it.

To do it tho you will need to access your database directly.

Thanks,
Shane
