okay, look at the section below though… you are saying all wp roles go to Members… what role are these new users getting?
yes, there can be duplication from the top and bottom – even conflicting… but the bottom gives you finer control… if the bottom is all the same, it should match the top part…
maybe we can add a bit of help on that…
Getting confusing. So the top section is only correct if the bottom part agrees. I had figured the bottom part was for current WP users only.
So, here’s what I want. Current WP users to be in the “Member” user group (which they all seem to be now), after all they’ve proven themselves to not be spammers. I want new users that come aboard and register to the forum to go into the “New Member” user group.
I’m guessing that you might want me to set “Default User Group for Subscriber” to New Member. Is that correct? If so, Maybe “Default User Group for Subscriber” should be changed to the wording “Default User Group for New Subscribers”
And if I make this setting will it move all my current users that are now in Member user group into New Member? My forum is not yet live and no of them have used the forum, but they are in fact now in the Member group — don’t wnat them moving to New Member.
(My new WP users become subscribers, as per the usual set up.)
The top part, the fieldset titled User Memberships, is for setting up new members… the bottom part, the fieldset titled Map Users, is for handling existing users…
If you have new members getting a wp role of subscriber, then yes, set default usergroup for subscriber to New Member… I ask because new members to a wp site do not necessarily get a role of subscriber… that is the default, but you can change it and many membership plugins do make it different too…
As I said, we used to have just the top part of the User Memberships but then for better integration with membership plugins, we added the mapping based on role… we probably should have figured out a way to get rid of the top part, but have not done so because of the upgrade scripts required… so it can be confusing… sorry…
If you want to map new users, then go to the Map Users section, set it up and map… It will make all users conform to the settings in the top part…
as to your wording change, cant win there… since it applies to new members and existing members if you use the Map Users stuff, we opted for the more generic…
