I am trying to mess with the New Blog Defaults plugin to do this, but can’t seem to get it to work. I’ve tried two strategies: both involve using previously found code to incorporate into the plugin, but I haven’t been able to see success with either strategy.

Strategy 1: Use the code used in wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php (roughly line 81)

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

Strategy 2: Use the code I found on the other post to incorporate into the plugin:

<?php
function ds_new_user_meta($blog_id, $user_id) {
 add_user_to_blog($blog_id, $user_id, 'editor' );
}
add_action( 'wpmu_new_blog', 'ds_new_user_meta', 10, 2 );
?>

Can you maybe guide me a little more on how to get the New Blog Defaults plugin to do this?

To update this – I’m getting desperate, so I even tried updating line 81 in wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php – with no success:

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

Any thoughts here?
