How to change role settings via PHP

  • How do I set the UM role settings via PHP? Specifically, I am automating the creation of a new role with the add_role method, now I need to enable the ‘Can edit their profile?’ setting with code.

    Another option would be to duplicate an existing role that is configured the way I want, but I can’t figure out how to do that and maintain the role settings.

    Hello @jdowns1

    In the wp_options table in the database there are option_name = “um_role_editor_meta” (for example). The option_value contain the role settings. Unfortunately that’s all I can help you with.

    Regards.

    I’m sorry @andrewshu, I’ve spent several days trying to figure this out with no luck.

    Let’s try this instead – can you provide a snippet of how to clone an existing UM role with the same settings?

    Have you tried this Gist at GitHub?

    Yes I have done that, and while it clones the role and WP capabilities, it does not fully clone – the UM specific role properties are not cloned which is what I need. Settings like ‘can edit their profile’ and registration options like ‘require admin review’ and the custom admin review message.

    @jdowns1

    You will find all these UM settings in the WP options table
    with the option_name um_role_xxx_meta where xxx is the role

    UM roles are found with the option_name um_roles
