Convering Civi contacts to WP users: Chainging the User Role

    I’ve successfully converted a couple of CiviCRM Members into WP Users after changing the script for ‘CIVICRM_WP_PROFILE_SYNC_BULK’ to true.

    However, these users get automatically stuck with the User Role of Subscriber and I have a number of custom roles I want the users I’m covert to use one of those instead. Like ‘USA Member’, for example.

    Is there a place in the script where I might be able to make this alteration?

    To repeat what I said in your other support thread, this functionality is specifically flagged as a tool for developers and therefore I don’t generally provide support for it.

    The bulk ops user creation process calls wp_insert_user() so you should be able to use the user_register hook and amend the user role to whatever you want it to be.

    I think the reason they get stukc with the Subscriber role in wp is because it is the default role for new users in wordpress.

    I want to safely asssume that if you chamge the wp default role for new users to the one you have created then new wp users create will assume that role
