    Hi, thanks for producing a great plugin, but I have a problem and I would like to know if anyone can help me.

    I created several roles to separate each user by a certain role and thus to release the access of certain pages only to the user that is of that role.

    I have done is ready all the part of setting the roles and blocking or releasing page that each role belongs to, but now I have a problem:

    I need a function so that as soon as the user registers he can click somewhere he switches his function, so he stops being an editor and becomes a salesman only with the click of a button, or marking any option of your registration.

    Ex. You register in the portal and at first it is a simple user, but you want to be a salesperson and to avoid having to send contact to the site developer, the user clicks a button and calls the certain function so that he can become a seller.

    I am not sure how I create this interaction with the plugin of yours.

    Someone can help me.

    Thank you for your help.

    Hi,

    You don’t need any interaction with URE here. URE does not include conditional assignment of user role according to a user selection on user registration point or later.

    Custom form elements and custom code to process user selection is required.

    Hi Everyone

    O Solved my job with this code:

    <?php
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
 require('wp-load.php'); //need this do work
add_action( 'profile_update', 'my_profile_update', 10, 2 );

if (is_user_logged_in()){ //verify if user is logged

$user = my_profile_update(wp_get_current_user()->ID); //get user ID

echo array_shift($user->roles);
}else{ //If user is not logged
	Header( "location: https://mysite.com");
}	
function my_profile_update( $user_id ) { //if user is logged
	$u = new WP_User( $user_id ); //pick a past user Role	
	$u->set_role('role-created'); //Set a new user-role for user->ID
	Header( "location: https://mysite.com");//redirect to page
	return $u;	
}
?>

    I create a new page user-role.php and call this page on a button and every user who call the function change de user-role.

    This work fine to me and and must be help for more programers.

    Tanks!!
