how to use this upgrade role code

Hi @a5345534,
Thanks for using myCred please add this code in your functions.php file.

add_action('mycred_init', 'promote_user_role');

function promote_user_role() {
    $user_id  = get_current_user_id();
    $ref_sums = mycred_get_users_reference_sum( $user_id );
// Check if user has gained points for published content
if ( ! empty( $ref_sums ) && array_key_exists( 'publishing_content', $ref_sums ) ) {

    // If they have, check if it's over 1000 points and that they are not yet "Authors"
    if ( $ref_sums['publishing_content'] >= 1000 && ! user_can( $user_id, 'publish_posts' ) )
        wp_update_user( array(
            'ID'   => $user_id,
            'role' => 'author'
        ) );

}
}

WOW,i am sure it worked.

But I do n’t want to limit it to publishing_content

I want the function to refer to total balance

How should I modify it?

it’s workes!!

thanks you very much!!

add_action(‘mycred_init’, ‘promote_user_role’);

function promote_user_role() {
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
$ref_sums = mycred_get_users_balance( $user_id );

// check if balance over 3000 points and that they are not yet “gold_member”

if ( $ref_sums >= 3000 ){
wp_update_user( array(
‘ID’ => $user_id,
‘role’ => ‘gold_member’
) );

}
}
