Change user role on submission of form

@marvelcreative

i guess no, “wpcf7_before_send_mail” hook wasn’t changed recently.

Please be sure to use the cf7 post id here
if ( $cf7->id() == 1234 ) {
(you can find the cf7 post id while editing the form in the url …?page=wpcf7&post=1234&action=edit)

and add subscribers_only: true to your form advanced settings

(tested and works)

Thanks Erik!
It was the “subscribers_only: true” that was my problem. I hadn’t realised that I needed to add that (as my form was already on a page only accessible to logged in users), and without that snippet of code anything to do with logged in users / wp_get_current_user in a function does not work ??

All sorted now – thanks ??

Here is my working code in case it helps anyone else.
It checks for the form ID, and also tests for the result of a user input of a checkbox field on my form. It assigns a different user role depending on whether they ‘accepted’ or ‘declined’ their place using the form.

function wpcf7_before_send_mail_function($contact_form, $abort, $submission) {

    $form_id = $contact_form->id();
	$output= $_POST['decision'];
    
    if ( is_user_logged_in() && $form_id === 2368 && $output == 'Accept') {
        $user = wp_get_current_user();
        $user->set_role('enrolment_deposit_paid');
    }
	else if ( is_user_logged_in() && $form_id === 2368 && $output == 'Decline') {
        $user = wp_get_current_user();
        $user->set_role('declined_a_place');
	}

}
add_action( 'wpcf7_before_send_mail', 'wpcf7_before_send_mail_function', 10, 3 );
