Multiple user roles for specific UM user role upon registration

Never mind I sent in a support ticket.

Suppoprt doesn’t want to help with this so putting it out there for any guidance.

To clarify a bit further, in UM the role is the role ID, not the role name: e.g. member = um_member

The other plugins are the same names as the role ID’s. e.g. vendor = vendor

How do you know at Registration that a new UM “member”
is a “vendor” or a “seller” or an “organizer”?

@missveronicatv I figured it out on my own.

At registration I set the UM Role through the form.

UM Role is set as a single role by default. You cannot assign additional roles automatically via UM admin panel. You can manually set additional roles via WordPress user management after registration with a plugin but I wanted it automated and without more plugins.

Upon registration, I add additional Role ID’s “vendor”, “seller”, etc. through functions.php.

I use “um_registration_set_extra_data” hook from UM to accomplish this: https://docs.ultimatemember.com/article/1235-umregistrationsetextradata

You can find all the Role ID’s in UM user roles admin panel. You have to use the Role ID, not the Role Title.

Here’s the code if anyone else needs to do the same thing. This also checks if the roles exist so there are no errors.

Replace [MY_UM_ROLE_ID] with the um_role_ID (no brackets).

You can change the role priority here too (“10, 2” in example below) but that’s a different topic.

// Automatically add additional roles to specific UM Role ID upon registration

add_action( 'um_registration_set_extra_data', 'add_roles_to_[MY_UM_ROLE_ID]_users', 10, 2 );

function add_roles_to_[MY_UM_ROLE_ID]_users( $user_id, $query_args ) {

????if ( isset( $query_args['role'] ) && $query_args['role'] === '[MY_UM_ROLE_ID]' ) {

????????$user = get_user_by( 'id', $user_id );

????????if ( $user ) {

????????????// The additional roles you want to add

$user->add_role( '[ADDITIONAL_ROLE_ID_1]' );
$user->add_role( '[ADDITIONAL_ROLE_ID_2]' );

????????}

????}

}
