How to deactivate/reactivate member previously approved

Hi @evollo

Have you tried checking the Registration Options in the UM User Role settings? You will be able to set the user to Pending Admin Review or Require Email Activation.

Please go to WP Admin > Ultimate Member > User Roles > Edit a Role > see “Registration Options”.

Regards,

The Pending Admin Review setting is not the problem. These members were previously approved through this the Pending Admin Review process and were approved. Now we have a situation where some members have not paid their membership renewal fees and we must block their access to restricted content until their dues are paid. Once their mambership status is reinstated, we need to “approve” them again.

We need to be able to toggle between the “approved” and “pending approval” statuses, or have anaother way to “activate/inactivate” their access to restricted content.

@evollo

How are you changing the user role to “unpaid” status?
WP Users list -> Edit the user -> Role

That’s the point. We cannot find a way to change the status to “unpaid.” We have changed the user role from Member to Subsctriber, which shoud restrict access to member-only content, but this has no effect. Even with a Subscriber user role, the user continues to have access to restricted content and the status remains “approved.”

One more thing … there are no status options like Unpaid or Inactive. The only status that might work is “Pending Approval,” but once approved, there appears to be no way to undo the approval.

This code changes status for an ‘approved’ user to ‘awaiting_admin_review’
when you change the user role from ‘um_member’ to ‘um_unpaid’.

Change my um-slugs to your selected role slugs as in UM -> User Roles

Code to child-theme functions.php

add_action( 'set_user_role', 'my_set_user_role', 10, 3 );

function my_set_user_role( $user_id, $new_role, $old_roles ) {
    
    if ( defined( 'um_plugin' )) {
        if( isset( $new_role ) && $new_role == 'um_unpaid' && in_array( 'um_member', $old_roles )) {
            um_fetch_user( $user_id );
            if( um_user( 'account_status' ) == 'approved' ) {
                update_user_meta( $user_id, 'account_status', 'awaiting_admin_review', 'approved' );
            }
        }
    }
}

@evollo

Changed the code so you get the toggle function and also made the setup easier.

This code changes status
for an ‘approved’ user to ‘awaiting_admin_review’
when you change the user role from ‘um_member’ to ‘um_unpaid’

and the status is switched back to ‘approved’ for user status ‘awaiting_admin_review’
when you change the user role from ‘um_unpaid’ to ‘um_member’.

add_action( 'set_user_role', 'my_set_user_role', 10, 3 );

function my_set_user_role( $user_id, $new_role, $old_roles ) {

    // user setup 
    $member = 'um_member';
    $unpaid = 'um_unpaid';
    $status = 'awaiting_admin_review';

    if ( defined( 'um_plugin' )) {
        if( isset( $new_role ) && $new_role == $unpaid && in_array( $member, $old_roles )) {
            um_fetch_user( $user_id );
            if( um_user( 'account_status' ) == 'approved' ) {
                update_user_meta( $user_id, 'account_status', $status, 'approved' );
                delete_option( "um_cache_userdata_{$user_id}" );
            }
        }
        if( isset( $new_role ) && $new_role == $member && in_array( $unpaid, $old_roles )) {
            um_fetch_user( $user_id );            
            if( um_user( 'account_status' ) == $status ) {
                update_user_meta( $user_id, 'account_status', 'approved', $status );
                delete_option( "um_cache_userdata_{$user_id}" );
            }
        }
    }
}
