Kakapo Roles

Trash

The only way back there is.

WordPress keeps no record of a removed role anywhere. Whoever calls remove_role() has lost that role’s list of capabilities — for good. That is why Kakapo Roles puts every deleted role, capabilities and all, in here until you bring it back or remove it for good.

FAQ about the trash

Why is this needed at all?

Because WordPress itself knows no way back. A role with sixty ticks set is half an hour of work — one misclick should not cost that.

Do the users come back too?

No. The role returns with its capabilities; who should carry it you assign again afterwards under “Assign & migrate”.

Does the trash survive uninstalling?

Only if you have not explicitly switched the cleanup on. By default everything stays put.
