   Is it possible to add an action when a role is set or created for a user ? I looked through the code, the forum and Google but could not find a way of doing it. set_role is obviously a method of WP_User. Is it possible to add an action to a method ?

   Thanks for your help.

   In my user registration, the user can them selves choose their role.
   But I have not been able to hook this up with user registration.

   I'm also not able to run my function from my plugin using add_action.

   So what I do now, is to call my function on page load (Above the header - before <!DOCTYPE>).

   Unfortunately the user have to reload the page to see the effect. I'm currently looking into how I can solve this problem, and change user role before anything else is loaded (that is role based).

   Here is my function:

   function changeUserRole()
   {
     global $current_user;
     get_currentuserinfo();
   
     $user_ID = $current_user->ID;
     $user = new WP_User( $user_ID );
     $roles = array(... list of roles...);
   
     // Set new user role.
     foreach($roles as $role => $name) {
       if( $current_user->role == $name)
         $user->set_role($role);
     }
   }

   PS. hmm... reading your Q again, this might not be the answer you are looking for :)

   Did you however find a solution for your problem?

   Thanks for answering me. I'm also changing users' roles and capabilities on the fly in a similar way as the one you are using. However, this did not quite sort out my problem.

   I just wanted to add an action when an admin user changes any other user's role through the core backend.

   If you have an idea...

   Thanks :)
