    I want registered users on my site to be able to request an upgrade to their Ultimate Member Role and from their submissions, I can easily choose to bulk upgrade their roles… Is there a way to achieve this in Ultimate Member?

    Hi @sirbenky

    Unfortunately, this requires customization on your end.

    You can use this function to change a user role:

    $user_id = 123;
$user_role_slug = 'subscriber';
UM()->roles()->set_role( $user_id, $user_role_slug );

    Let’s see if other has done something similar and share their code here.

    The thing is the previous roles the user has shouldn’t be replaced

    They should be able to fill something like a re-registration form and from there their requests would only require approval

    The Tutor LMS plugin devs were able to achieve this where a user even if logged in is able to register through a form in order to request a role upgrade

    But I don’t know how to implement this in Ultimate Member… Would really love to have this work

    Hi @sirbenky

    sorry for the late response.

    Have you tried using the following code to add the role instead of replacing the previous role?

    $wp_user_object = new WP_User( $user_id );
$wp_user_object->set_role('editor');

    Feel free to re-open this thread by changing the topic status to “Not Resolved” so that we can get back to you.
