Hi,<\/p>\n

Quick question, I’m using TML for users to register but I need them to be able to create posts, so I want them to be authors and not subscribers. I have activation turned on so they are pending to begin with, but subsequently I need their role to go to author. Seems the default behaviour is ‘subscriber’ but is there any way to change this? I’ve tried this function:<\/p>\n

\nadd_action('tml_new_user_registered', '\\Bbc\\set_user_to_author');\nfunction set_user_to_author($userID){\n  $u = new \\WP_User($userID);\n  $u->remove_role('subscriber');\n  $u->add_role('author');\n  return;\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
But it doesn’t seem to work.<\/p>\n
Much appreciated
