eMember – Changing of User Roles

[hugblue]

Hi, When I look at user roles then i can see there is two different types.

There is the one wordpress gives the user is signing up.

Then there is the role eMember is giving.

– – –

How do i make sure that the roles follow each other in both places at all time ?

So the role in wp always is identical with eMember (Both ways).

The reason for this is that i use mycred for points and mycred is using the wp roles.

Thanks.

If the following are set, logins from either the WordPress or eMember side will be synced:

WP eMember –> Settings –> General Settings –> Automatically Create WordPress User

WP eMember –> Settings –> General Settings –> Automatically log into WordPress

WP eMember –> Settings –> General Settings –> Automatically log into eMember

When you setup your eMember levels, each can be assigned to an existing WprdPress role:

WP eMember –> Membership Level –> Role

Thus, when the member is assigned/switches to a specific membership level; their WP role will change.

If the following setting is enabled:

WP eMember –> Settings –> General Settings –> Preserve WordPress User Role

Then, if the member logs in from the WordPress side, their WordPress role will “stick” to the membership level “role” used to create the WordPress user.

Thanks a lot for the reply ..

Now everything have been created with the “Preserve WordPress User Role” ticked.

So if i now untick “Preserve WordPress User Role” will it then automatically update the wordpress user roles to follow the eMember user roles ?

Or how do i change the things so both WP and Emember is following each. So that the eMember will be the one that 100% decides the user roles.

If you DO NOT have “Preserve WordPress User Role” set, AND the user logs in from the eMember side:

• The WordPress role will “follow” the role of the current membership level.

 

If you DO have “Preserve WordPress User Role” set, AND the user logs in from the eMember side:

• The WordPress role will “stick” to the role assigned to it, when the WordPress account was created.
