Question about User Groups

Is there anyway to have new forum member assigned to a "new members" user group and once the reach a "minimum" post count have them automatically moved to a "members" user group?

The reason I ask is I'd like for the basic math captcha to be used only for new users that have a small amount of posts on my forum. Once they have established themselves I'd like to have them moved to a regular member group without captcha.

I looked through the forum admin area and didn't see how this was possible, so I thought I would ask.

Thanks!

You need forum admin > Components > Forum Ranks - top section. Does exactly what you want.

Not a plugin. It is a part of the Simple:Press core.

I created forum ranks:

  • New Members (0 posts to be in that rank) & map to New Members User Group
  • Members (25 post to be in that rank) & map to Members User Group

I also mapped all users to New Users Group with the intent to manually update memberships & rank.

I'm running into the issue that it is not updating the rank by the rules I set and I cannot find anywhere to do that myself. I only see the option to update user groups.

How does the forum update user groups by ranking?

I created two test ranks after I got all users in the user groups I want them to be in. Unfortunately the Forum Ranks isn't assigning users properly to forum ranks. I did the toolbox database cleanup before doing this test ranking too.

As you can see, some people are assigned the correct ranking, others aren't. Also the default member ranking that I deleted is still showing up for some people.

I'm not 100% sure on this one but if the forum ranks are changed, could it be that a user has to make a post in order to be moved to the new usergroup?

Also when you say 'default member ranking', do you mean they are in the usergroup they were assigned to through your first ranking setup?

As I said, not 100% sure without doing some local tests and it's pretty late here right now!

Are you running any other WP membership / usergroup plugins?

When I delete all the rankings, it shows "Member" as the default ranking.
