    I would like to create a UM role via code if it does not already exist on the site when I install a custom plugin. How can I create a UM role via code?

    Hi @ermwp

    You can check this wp.org doc to create a new role:

    Thank you for the reply. Will that make it a UM custom role? I know how to make a WP role. How do I programmatically make a custom UM role?

    Hi @ermwp

    When you create a role with add_role it should create the UM Role. Try running this code: add_role( "um_test_role","UM Test Role", array() );

    Once the role is added, go to WP Admin > Ultimate Member > User Roles > see “UM Test Role”.
