Is there an easy way to make new users authors instead of subscribers.?
I have tried the User Role Editor plugin to no avail.

Hi, you should be able to do that by adding the code below to your theme functions.php


add_action( "adverts_new_user_notification", "my_adverts_new_user_notification", 1 );
function my_adverts_new_user_notification( $user_id ) {
    $user = new WP_User( $user_id );
    $user->set_role( 'author' );
    return $user_id;
}
