Plugin not respecting default user role

    Hi,
    I just noticed that users joining my multisite via Simple Membership are being assigned the standard ‘subscriber’ user role.

    I need them to have the ‘author’ role.

    I set the default role for my subsite to ‘author’ under Network Admin/Sites/Edit subsite/Settings tab/Default Role.

    This is apparently ignored by Simple Membership. Is there a setting I have not found?

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    I set the default role for my subsite to ‘author’ under Network Admin/Sites/Edit subsite/Settings tab/Default Role.

    Have you tried setting up the above in the sub-site instead of the Network Admin site?

    Regards

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Could you guide me to that setting?
    There is no Default Role under subsite/Dashboard/Settings/General

    I can confirm that in subsite/Dashboard/Users/Add New/ ‘author’ is pre-selected as the assigned role.

    Hi, in your sub-site, did you add a membership level with Author role assigned to it?

    Hi,
    Yes.
    Under subsite/WP Membership/Membership Levels/Membership Level/Edit/ Default WordPress Role is ‘author’.

    @pennymachines, Unfortunately, the user role for multi-site won’t work that way with our plugin. The multi-site setup can get very complex. Our plugin is really for very simple setup. I would recommend you try a different plugin that has more heavyweight multi-site integration. I apologize that our plugin isn’t the best solution for multi-site setup.

    OK, thank you for your reply, even though it is disappointing.
