I have found an issue in the code, but fortunately, also a solution!
The problem is as follows;
When in a multisite environment when you change the default_role from subscriber to something else, ethpress will give the role “subscriber” to people that login without having an account (creating new accounts).

This is caused by line 211 in Login.php ($role = ‘subscriber’;). The function is to bind the user to the correct website in the multi site environment.

To tackle this issue, change line 211 to:
$role = get_option(‘default_role’);

and this will get the right default role registered for the user in that specific site in a multisite environment.

Best regards,

Parsec.

While I was creating my website, the default user role assign feature that was in-built in wordpress did work. But then suddenly an option popped up when you click to edit a user which was –no role for this site– and ever since this option appeared, new users who registered on my site were automatically assigned NO role at all which I’m finding quite troublesome. I wonder if I can disable this –no role for this site– option so that it doesn’t negate the automatic default role assigning for new registered users. Thank you.

On WordPress settings we have set new users default role as Author but when we register using register form they are created as Subscribers. How can we change it?

Thanks!!

Also use time for registration not as in settings – UTC + 3.
But every user write in DB with time UTC.

Appear this two trouble at one time one week ago.
Don’t install any plugins more that month.

Second, I see an issue when the system creates a new user in WordPress and assigns it a role. Currently, the role that is assigned is always “Subscriber” event when we changed the setting under Settings > General > New User Default Role.

We created a new role to make it clear to other users that the an appropriate role has to be manually selected. This new role is called *Please assign a role*. When an account gets created, the new user gets assigned 2 roles automatically, Subscriber and *Please assign a role*.

I checked the code to see what was happening and came across this line on file “Manager.php” (Line 137):
$wordPressRoles = array('subscriber');

I think instead of writing ‘subscriber’, it should look for the default value in the WordPress options.

Anyhow, we were able to overcome this issue by going to Active Directory Integration > Configuration > Permissions > Role equivalent groups:
Security group: Domain Users
WordPress role: -toassign (ID for *Please assign a role*)

I am building a prototype with WordPress and I’m using your plugin for manage the roles. I use other plugin for login/registration and that plugin had a conflict with yours, because both set a default rol for the new users. I would like keep the other plugin for login/registration and setting the default rol, but your plugin doesn’t have a switch to turn off the new user default role.

I squish my brain a night to hack that problem, I did. But I think, it would be easier and efficient if you put a flag to switch off your default user role for new users.

Thanks for your reading.
Keep rocking. Спасибо
