[Plugin: WP-FB-AutoConnect] Grant role upon registration

You can setup a custom action to assign whichever role you like upon autoregistration. The actions provided by this plugin are documented on the support page:

I’ve been trying various things to achieve this — setting different roles depending on a querystring value on the register page (ie. role=author or role=contributor) — but it keeps passing through to the default role. Anyone have an example of doing this successfully through wp-fb-autoconnect?

I needed to do this as well but the code wasn’t posted here despite it being marked ‘resolved’ – here’s how I did it:

function facebookSignupRole($args) {
		$args['role'] = 'member';

		return $args;
	}
	add_filter('wpfb_inserting_user', 'facebookSignupRole');
