Setting role during registration

[wylesight]

Great plugin.

However I’m trying without success to assign a role to each newly created user through the front-end registration form :

– When using the ‘role’ field it’s working, but I don’t want user to be able to choose Administrator etc. So not good.
– I’m trying to put this field in ‘read only’ mode, and set the default role to the one I want, but not working : default value is not taken into account and my role is blank.
– The ideal solution would be to use an hidden field with meta_key = ‘role’ and a default value set to the role I need, but here again it’s not working (the created user as no role).

Any idea ?

Thx !!

My bad !! I’ve written badly my user role….

Using an hidden field with meta key set to ‘role’ and a default value to the role you need works great !!

This did not work for me.

How do we override the default wordpress role assignment so we can assign different roles to different registration forms?

Thanks!

Oh snap! The hidden field trick does work – I just wasn’t doing it right.

Thanks for that!

Hello,

With version 1.1.3rc2, you can assign role directly during registration.
Go to User Meta >> Field Editor , click on “Role” field and choose “Allowed Roles” and selcte “Role selection Type”
if you like to use role as hidden field, fill-up “Default Field” with existing role slug and select “Hidden” for “Role Type Selection”
Then go to User Meta >> Forms Editor and drag that “Role” field to your form.

Thats it.

Please note: using “role” as meta_key for extra field no more work from version 1.1.3rc2

Thanks.
