Support Forum

FYI - I stumbled across a similar post here in the forums, but I don't fully understand it:

https://simple-press.com/suppo.....on/page-2/

It appears the issue was resolved with some implementation of 'set_user_role', however I don't fully understand it.

Here is the plugin code that I am using to automatically assign new Memberpress membership levels to WP Roles; perhaps a set_user_role needs to also happen when this code runs?

function memberpress_user_role($txn) {
$user = get_user_by('id', $txn->user_id);

//user doesn't exist for some reason, or is an admin - we don't want to wipe out the admin's role haha
if($user === false || user_can($txn->user_id, 'manage_options'))
return;

//Leave the user's WP Role alone, and just add a bbPress Role to them
if($txn->product_id == 25) { //User purchased membership 25: CMS_faculty
$user->remove_role('subscriber');
$user->add_role('cms_facility_role');
return;

//Leave the user's WP Role alone, and just add a bbPress Role to them
} elseif($txn->product_id == 23) { //User purchased membership 23: limited
$user->remove_role('subscriber');
$user->add_role('limited_role');
return;

//Leave the user's WP Role alone, and just add a bbPress Role to them
} elseif($txn->product_id == 24) { //User purchased membership 24: premium
$user->remove_role('subscriber');
$user->add_role('premium_role');
return;

}
}
add_action('mepr-txn-status-complete', 'memberpress_user_role');

Hi - thanks for the response!

I don't know if Memberpress properly uses the WP API; I will ask them directly.

The code I posted was provided by them, with the extra IF's added by me.  The code works - that is, Wordpress knows that the person is now in whatever new custom WP Role they've been assigned to.

Previously, you discussed this issue with another user in the post below, and you suggested that "set_user_role" was necessary; that add_role by itself was insufficient.

It would seem to me that if the user has gotten the custom WP Role, wouldn't Simplepress recognize the user is a member of that group?  That is what does not seem to be happening.

holy cow - it worked!  Thanks alot!  I'll let the Memberpress folks know as well in case they get this request again in the future.

Mr Papa - This dialog with you and with Memberpress support has prompted them to want to add user role support to the UI of Memberpress.  They have a question for you:

Do they currently use the add_user_role and remove_user_role action hooks from WordPress also, or do they only look at the set_user_role hook?

I think I know the answer to this but wanted to hear it from you if possible.  Thanks!
