Roles – documentation error found

@bobreus,

Good morning, thanks for your email and for contacting us.

I have been reading the code and it seems to be “Role” and not “Roles” the column, look at this piece of code:
$role_position = $positions["role"];

Where “role” is the name of the first column. Are you using the last version?

Thanks for your message.

Hmm, strange. I’m using version 1.10.9.1.

I tested it again. I think that when I used ‘Roles’, it just used the default role I chose (Author, same as in the csv-file). So ‘Roles’ doesn’t work. But if I use ‘role’, it doesn’t assign any roles at all. Not the default ones, nor the one in the csv-file. What am I doing wrong?

@bobreus,

If you use the role column into the CSV you have to use the role “slug”.

That did the trick. Thank you!

Small suggestion: Maybe add a role column to the example csv?

@bobreus,

Yes this will be a good idea.

Also an example with WooCommerce format.

I take note of this and I will include it in a new version.

I mark it as solved.

Thanks for using our plugin, please help us giving a good review or sending a little donation.

Hi there,

When I input Role in the CSV, the capabilities populate with the comma added values. Is there a way to make this populate the new roles that I assign?

thanks,
Chris

@cward84,

Sorry I don’t understand your question.
