Got a tricky situation.
Someone buys my product via Wishlist member plugin.
Wishlist is integrated with Simple Press.
Simple Press sees the new member and adds them to a user group called $1 trial (with limited access to certain forums and topics).
7 days after someone joins, Wishlist automatically upgrades them from $1 trial to Gold.
The problem is that when Wishlist upgrades someone, their membership doesn't change in Simple Press.
That means they're meant to have full access to the forum, but simple press still thinks they're on a $1 trial.
Do you know how to sync up Wishlist and SP so that when I change someone's membership level in Wishlist, it's updated in Simple Press?
I've already followed the guide here, but that does not solve the problem.
Any other ideas?

it will work, provided you have identified a unique wp role for each of your wishlist member levels... when wishlist changes a member level, it then changes the wp role... if you are mapping a wp roles to an sp usergroup via forum - usergroups - map users to usergroups, they will get the sp usergroup changed....
of course, this assumes you have different sp usergroups and permissions defined for each of the wishlist member levels too...

Hmm. I'm using WP role manager plugin.
2 memberships in SP -
McMastersGold
McMastersTrial
and 2 in WL -
Gold
$1 Trial
WL memberships map to relevant role in SP.
Not sure how to test it.
I manually upgraded one of my test accounts via wishlist, and it didn't upgrade in Simple Press, but perhaps the auto upgrade does it differently?

please define your wp roles... then tell us your wishlist levels and which wp role they are mapped too.. and finally, from forum - usergroups - map users to usergroups, please tel us which sp usergroups you have mapped to which wp role..

And how do they get from trial to Gold? Wishlist levels that is...
Do they purchase? Admin move? Etc..
Are you limiting to single usergroup? It's an option...
And are you using forum ranks and giving usergroup membership based on rank?

When they join, they join under Gold $1 trial membership in WL. 7 days later, WL automatically upgrades them to Gold.
The business model is they pay $1 for 7 days access, then start paying a monthly rate. But I want to restrict their access to the forum for the first 7 days so they don't go in there and download everything then cancel before the 7 days are up.
Haven't been using forum ranks.

Not sure where Steve was going with the question on forum ranks so let's leave that aside.
Having read through this the one question we haven't asked (unless I missed it still being too sleepy!) and you have not volunteered is - when WishList upgrades a user is their WordPress role actually being automatically updated?

latter is the question I was asking re wishlist... does wishlist change the wp role for auto upgrades.. I would think so and have not heard of any issues, but comes to mind...
on the forum rank, just wanted to make sure multiple things are not changing the memberships of folks... this would require a post to change the membership though...
