== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= It is not working! Why? =

Actually it works. To make Advanced Access Manager good looking and easy to navigate,
I'm using the latest JavaScript libraries - jQuery and jQuery UI. And this is a standard
for today. If you have installed plugins out of date, you, probably will have some problems.
In such way, please <a href="mailto:admin@whimba.com">contact me</a> or leave a message on a Forums Posts.   
 
= What is "Initiate URL" button for, under "Metaboxes & Widgets" Tab? =

Sometimes list of additional metaboxes is conditional on edit post page. Like e.g.
display custom metabox "Photos" only if Post Status is Published. Access Manager 
initiates the list of metaboxes for each post in status auto-draft. So that is why
you have to put manually the URL to the edit post page where list of additional 
metaboxes can be picked by the plugin.

= I can't edit comments. What should I do? =

To be able to edit comments, just go to "Capabilities" Tab and add new Capability - 
"Edit Comment". For administrator it'll automatically be added and this will let
to configure comment editing for other roles.

= I unchecked some Menus on "Main Menu" Tab but they are still not shown. Why? =

The reason is that "Main Menu" Tab is not directly related to list of Capabilities. 
It means, if you selected/deselected some Menu or Submenu it will not add or delete
correct capabilities to current User Role. In such way if you want to give somebody 
access to backend I recommend to use predefined set of options "Editor" and then
just filter Main Menu.

= What is "Restore Default" link near Save button? =

Advanced Access Manager has implemented activation hook which will store all User
Roles defined in the system with the list of capabilities. So if you did something wrong,
you'll be able to restore original settings.
After Advanced Access Manager deactivation, all setting will be restored automatically.
