Change membership level after completing profile form

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Is there any way I can trigger the change to “Ready for Verification” ?

What if you manually approve the registration. This would allow you to change the status after you approve the registration. The following documentation can help you.

If you require extra fields, then the following addon might also help you.

Let me know if the information above helps you.

Kind regards.

Hello, thanks I considered this but I can’t use your default manual registration approval because I need them to be able to log in as soon as they sign up in order for them to complete their profile.

Is there any hook, function, or meta data I can tap into instead in order to change the membership level?

Hi there, I’d like to provide some additional information that might be helpful for your request. However, I want to clarify upfront that our plugin doesn’t have a built-in solution for this functionality. Implementing this will require custom development, so it may be challenging if you’re not familiar with coding. You might also want to explore plugins that offer this feature out of the box.

First, you should use the following registration method (this one allows the user to register for a free account before doing any other steps)

Next, you can instruct the users to go to the profile page or your custom page where you have a custom form to submit additional information.

When our plugin’s profile form is submitted, the following action hook is triggered (if you are familiar with action/filter hooks, you might be able to use this):

You can update a member’s account status from your custom PHP code using the following mentioned function:

That sounds exactly like what I need, thank you!

I’ll work on this from today and report back how it goes for anyone else who might be looking for the same thing.

Hi, I think I misread a detail on the last part of your instructions earlier. I wanted to change the membership level of the user right after updating their profile, not the member’s account status.

So at the moment, I already have the following data:

// after profile form submit
$member_id = 5;
$new_membership_level = 2;

And I found this utility function to update the user’s membership level:

SwpmMemberUtils::update_membership_level( $member_id, $new_membership_level );

It seems to be working but I am at the early stages of the project and I just want to be cautious — can you confirm this is the best function to use in my case?

Thank you!

Hi, It’s better to use the following function to update the membership level of a member:

SwpmMemberUtils::update_membership_level_and_role( $member_id, $new_membership_level );
