we are on 5.1… 5.1.4 to be exact… but we havent changed anything in that regards… except relocated the admin panel for it…

you set it up on forum – usergroups – map users to usergroups

and it still happens automatically when user is created…

Thanks…I found the settings, and they look like they were already turned on.

If that’s the case, why isn’t it working? Here’s a screenshot:

how are the users created?  do you have a membership or registration plugin?  It may not be following the wp api?  after the user is created, is there an entry in the sfmembers table in your db for the user?

what happens if you create a user in the wp admin panel the add user panel… does it end up in right usergroup?

Wishlist Member is creating the users. I added a new user in WP and it was added to the correct forum. I’ll do some more testing on the wishlist side and get back to you.

please see:  http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/faq/problem-with-post-edit-buttonow-to/problem-with-post-edit-buttonow-to-configure-simple-press-with-membership-plugin/

Thanks! I followed the instructions and verified that Wishlist is creating the user and assigning the correct role.

Simple:Press is still not automatically mapping the user to a group. Any new accounts I create get put into “Members Not Belonging To Any Usergroup”. This was not the case before I upgraded to the latest version of SP. Could there be a setting somewhere I’m missing?

just to be sure, we are talking about standard WP here, right? and not multisite…

Correct…just a regular WordPress site.

so you created new wp roles… and in wishlist member, you mapped a wp role uniquely to each wishlist level? and then on forum – usergroups – map users to usergroups, you mapped each wp role to a sp usergroup?

we have many, many folks using wishlist with simplepress… including us and wishlist uses simple press too on their wishlist insider site… so we know it works

any chance you are using the wishlist tags plugin?

an no other registration or login plugin for wp?

Yes…that’s exactly what I did.

I’ve been using the two together for almost a year now…it worked fine until I upgraded the forum last week.

I’m definitely using the “Wishlist Member” plugin…and there are no other membership plugins installed.

Sorry for all of the questions but as Steve said, the combination of SP and WLM is pretty common and this sort of issue is rare.

Let’s just confirm 2 version questions. What version of SP did you recently upgrade from? And are you using an up to date version of WLM?.

And finally – if all else fails would you be willing to let us take a look at your forum admin if needed?

No problem…I’m on v2.7.1 of WLM (most recent). For SP, I was on v4.something (sorry for the lack of specificity…I don’t have access to the old version to check). I installed it about 1 year ago, if that helps.

I can provide you with a wp-admin login & link…but would prefer to do that through a private message or email.

Thanks!

That would be useful I think – thanks.

Please PM credentials to both myself and to ‘Mr Papa’. Please include in the PM a link to your site, a link to this thread and brief reminder of the problem. And one of us will take a look for you – see if we can find anything…

Just sent you both the PM. Thanks!
