Deploying Plugin Help

Hi,

Thanks for the work on the plugin. I’ve read the instructions but I’m just looking to confirm if the plugin is the right thing for what we are looking to achieve.

When someone registers for membership within our CiviCRM, we are looking for that to update with correct access for the users to access restricted content using the ‘members’ plugin in WordPress.

I’ve created our membership tiers within Civi, and added all Association Rules for each tier within the plugin. Once a Member registers and pays within CiviCRM, I can see the user get created within WordPress and the Additional Capabilities comes up within the user profile.

I’m stuck when it comes to access. They are automatically added to the ‘Subscriber’ WordPress role when they get synced. I’ve created two new roles in WordPress ‘Members’ plugin with applicable permissions; Roles are called Members and Expired Members respectively.

Members have access to all restricted articles, pages and content
My plan is that Expired Members can still log in, but can’t access restricted articles, pages and content. They will only be able to access their CiviProfile and ability to repurchase their membership.

Questions:
Have I got something confused in this set up? I’m trying to get new, current or grace period members to automatically get provisioned to ‘Members’ Role and Expired, Pending, Cancelled, Deceased to be synced to ‘Expired Members’ Role

Also, is there a standard way have a member create a username in the civiform and that gets synced to WordPress rather than the auto created one?

Do you have any suggestions for password creation in WordPress during this flow? I.E once sync’d a user gets an email with their WordPress login username and password?

New to this, so really appreciate any support around implementing the plugin!

Thanks!
