I am using the latest built of 5 beta and have observed 2 membership related issues:

 

1. Many people who register at our website, do not get assigned any membership group in forums. So they can read the forums but can't post. Then I have to manually add them to the Member group from the admin side. (Nice feature that, by the way)

 

2. So far, it has happened twice that some members who registered automatically got 'moderator' role. It has happened to just 4 members out of several hundreds who have registered but i wonder what went wrong with those 4 and that also 2 days apart. I had manually move them from moderator group to member group.

so have configured auto membership on forum - options - member settings?

any membership plugins?

and for the first question, are all those usergroups you have assigned with a permission set to the correct forums?

No membership plugin.

 

The default role for Guests is set to Guests

 

and default role for members is set to Members.

 

Just did a reset on all Global permissions, and default roles and group and forum permissions and also restrcited the individual membership to one group. Let's see if that helps.

 

Despite these small challenges of a new software, I must say that I am enjoying your software VERY much! Thanks to the team who have worked hard to develop this. There is nothing even close to this for Wordpress platform. coolsmile

what about forum ranks?  any of those set up?  with auto membership?  forum - components - forum ranks...

does it happen if you create a user from the wp add user admin panel?

This doesn't seem to go away.  The forum ranks are setup alright.

 

It doesn't happen to everyone. For eg, since yesterday, we have had about 1000 new registrations. Around 20 of them sporadically got the role of Moderator and we had to manually move them to the Members group.

1000 new registrations in a day?  Nice!

on forum - options - member settings, can you post a screenshot of the user membership section?

this unique situation is quite baffling to me...  did  you ever do as I asked and see if it occurs when you manually create users in the wp admin?

I did try registering people from admin backend and the members so registered never got mod rights.
