Sorry, I’ve now resolved this issue with the following code:

if ( current_user_can( 'basic' )) {
	function add_secondary_role( $user_id ) {
		$user_id = get_current_user_id();
		$user = get_user_by('id', $user_id);
		$user->add_role('author');
	}
	add_action( 'add_subscriber_role', 'add_secondary_role', 10, 2 );
	do_action( 'add_subscriber_role', $user_id);
}

Thanks for your help!

Hi Vladimir,

I had it wrapped in the following:

if ( current_user_can( 'basic' )) {
function add_secondary_role( $user_id ) {
	if (current_user_can('basic')) {
		$user = get_user_by('id', $user_id);
		$user->add_role('author');
	}
}
}

Is there a better way of doing this or is this incorrect? Basically, I only want to apply this IF a user has a set capability (which is added via WooCommerce Groups)

Thanks

Hi Vladimir,

I’ve predefined the customer role via WooCommerce

It’s not a multisite

What I’m trying to achieve is add a second role if the user has a particular capability, but can’t see how to do that.

Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks Vladimir

Sadly that doesn’t work.

Whenever a new user signs up, the 2nd role isn’t being added automatically

I even tried the code from your website:

add_action( 'user_register', 'add_secondary_role', 10, 1 );

function add_secondary_role( $user_id ) {

    $user = get_user_by('id', $user_id);
    $user->add_role('author');

}

However, that doesn’t seem to work either

Any further help is much appreciated!

Think I’ve sussed it with 'orderby' =>'menu_order',

Ok, I’ve altered the loop to

<?php $numposts = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_status='publish' AND post_type='post' AND post_author = " . $curauth->ID . " ORDER BY post_modified LIMIT 3"); ?>

<ul>
<?php foreach ($numposts as $numpost) {
	$link = get_permalink( $numpost->ID );
	echo '<li><a href="' . $link . '">'.$numpost->post_title."</a></li>";
} ?>
</ul>

It now works

Hi,

I’m still not having any joy with this. Am I doing something really wrong or is it a common issue?

Thanks

Oddly removing the image worked. Why’s that? Sorry for the questions but your help is much appreciated!
