PhotonNetwork.CloseConnection(playerToKick) does not remove player from room

I am trying to implement a 'kick player' function to a room for the host. I have read through the forums and the only answer I can find is using PhotonNetwork.CloseConnection. However, this does not remove the player from the room. Please can you advise how to remove the player? My code is below:
public void OnClick_CallKick()
{
Kick(nicknameInputField);
print("Kick Button Clicked");
}
private void Kick(TMP_InputField inputField)
{
if (inputField == null)
{
return; // log error?
}
string nickname = inputField.text;
Kick(nickname);
}
private void Kick(string nickname)
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(nickname))
{
return; // log error?
}
foreach (KeyValuePair<int, Player> player in PhotonNetwork.CurrentRoom.Players)
{
if (player.Value != PhotonNetwork.LocalPlayer) //checking if this is the local player in question
{
if (nickname.Equals(player.Value.NickName))
{
print("Kicking " + player.Value);
KickingPlayer(player.Value);
return;
}
}
}
}
private void KickingPlayer(Player playerToKick)
{
if (!PhotonNetwork.IsMasterClient)
{
return; // log error?
}
print("Closing connection for " + playerToKick.NickName);
//not working
PhotonNetwork.EnableCloseConnection = true;
PhotonNetwork.CloseConnection(playerToKick);
}

Hi, depending on what version of PUN you are using, Photon recently pushed an update to have CloseConnection disabled by default (for good reason). CloseConnection is a clientside based kick, meaning it does not involve the server authority at all other than just transmitting the event.
This means every client needs to have EnableCloseConnection as true. I advise putting this in a constructor somewhere when the game starts, you could even put it in the PhotonNetwork constructor. Just remember that changing the enable bool locally does not change it for everyone else.
