Registering New User Role Does NOT Update

    Hi there,
    Great plugin btw, just what I needed.
    I am trying to register a user from my java app using this:
    ?nonce=” + cookie + “&username=Blah&user_pass=blah&[email protected]&display_name=BlahTheCoolest&notify=no&show_admin_bar_front=false&user_registered=true&role=Subscriber&first_name=Blah&last_name=Blah
    I do see the user gets registered but the role never appears as subscriber. I just see “No Role for this site”. But, under capabilities, I do see Subscriber there. Any thoughts?

    Thanks,
    Danielle

    Hi Danielle,

    Where are you expecting role to appear? Roles are usually managed inside WordPress Settings. User is registered to the default role whatever WordPress has set for itself.

    Since Plugin is doing what it is supposed to do, i.e. registering user, So I think there’s no issue.

    Why then is the role drop down set to: -No Role for this site-, even though I am passing in a role of Subscriber? I am expecting role to be in the “User” portion of the site next to “Role”. When I view the new user registered, the role is not set as it should be. What am I missing here? Also, the default role for new registrants is “Subscriber”.

    Thanks,
    Danielle

    Hi Danielle,

    You are right. I will update the plugin today with the role assignment option. If the role var is not provided in the call, it will assign default role. (Administrator role wont be available to set)

    Thanks for reporting.

    Hi Ali

    Has this been added to the plugin now…? This is the functionality that I need.

    Thanks,

    User default role is being set now on registration. Bug fixed in version 1.7

    Thanks for reporting.

    Thanks Ali! I am planning on purchasing the pro version, will it also be fixed there?

    Thanks again,

    Yes, all updates are made in the Pro version simultaneously.

    Thanks

    Ali; a client of mine was wondering if they can update an existing user’s role through this plugin.

    Since this thread is talking about an issue with that and you’ve now said you can set the role on-registration, can I confirm that we can update roles post-registration/of an existing user?

    I couldn’t see a clear reference to this in the docs. Apologies if it’s there.

    Yes, there is ‘user_role’ endpoint which requires secret key variable in addition to api key variable to set any role for the provided user id.

    I have not released it yet, going to do it in next few days of pro plugin version 2.0.

    When can we be expecting the Pro 2.0 version?

    Just to confirm, this will allow us to specify user_role upon registration correct?

    Thanks!

    It will allow you to change user_role after registration. It is a separate end_point.

    This call will require ‘api_key’, ‘secret’, ‘user_id’ and valid ‘role’.

    This endpoint needs to be kept separate for additional ‘secret’ variable which can be defined in the Plugin options page with the api_key.

    It will be released in a day.

    Hi Ali,

    Do you have released the new version with “user_role” ? I need it for a client because update_user_meta doesn’t work for role change.

    Thanks a lot.

    Yes, User Plus version 2.0.0 https://www.parorrey.com/solutions/json-api-user-plus/ has been released and user_role endpoint is added now.

    There are some other new endpoints as well.

    How am I to update if I have already purchased?
