Not sure why the other user’s comment was removed, as this is clearly related to the same issue. Users who register through the Simple Registration form are now being given the “Subscriber” capability, which is breaking causing conflicts all over the place.

Interesting. I’d also like to know if this latest release is the same 1.5.8 as the github master one here?https://github.com/Astoundify/wc-simple-registration?(?https://github.com/Astoundify/wc-simple-registration?) as I had lots of issues trying to get that working a few weeks ago where roles didn’t assign correctly but rolling back to 1.5.6 solved the issues. In my case it was with WP Job Manager roles where normal behaviour posting a job made the user an ’employer’ role, else default role they would all be ‘candidate’. On the 1.5.8 version from github with no changed settings all new users registered via the job posting or other registration forms all had ‘subscriber’ status issued instead, so had to reassign them with python. Sticking with the old one for now.
The new plugin is also ignoring the default role for new accounts settings from Settings -> General, and giving all users “No Role Assigned For This Site”
