How Can I Change Role Title?

    I would like to change a role title, but I don’t see the option when editing an existing role.

    I already have various logic set up on my site based on a user’s role so I don’t want to create an entirely new role just to update the role title.

    The role ID can remain the same. I just need the role title to be changed.

    Is this possible?

    You can use the “Rename Role” function with the “User Role Editor” plugin.

    Unfortunately, that isn’t working.

    Is there a reason that editing a role title isn’t natively part of the Ultimate Member plugin?

    I ended up editing the role title in the database, but I am still curious why the option to edit it via the plugin settings isn’t available.

    I don’t know why the Role name is saved by UM.

    Are you using phpMyAdmin?

    You have to update the options table too.
    option_name = um_role_{$slug}_meta
    $slug is the role_id without the first um_
    name is the last item in the option_value and also adjust the string length.
