@bcworkz Doesn’t delete the roles. I don’t know what happened to create these broken rules.

function delete_role(){
	
$roles = wp_roles()->get_names();

foreach( $roles as $role ) 
	{
		if ($role = 'test') 
		{
			  	remove_role($role);	
		}
	}
}
add_action('init', 'delete_role');

@bcworkz so translate_user_role is only called to echo the name. I don’t believe it does anything to the variable. But I’ll delete it and try. I’m also going to re write it as add_role( $role, ( $name ), get_role ( 'restaurant_template' )->capabilities );

@bcworkz i figured out that if I create a form and have the restaurant name be something that has a space in it like “big boy” then it won’t work as a display name. If it is “bigboy” it will work. I don’t know why. But I tried to add the code below to get rid of spaces but still leaves me with a blank role name.

$name = str_replace(' ', '', $name);

@bcworkz So i got it working and deleted the roles I wanted. Then I went back edited the code a little and most of the time I get a role that has a display name but still sometimes when I use the code below I still get a blank display name. I am also unable to delete the new roles I made.

$role = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'registration_name', true );
$name = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'registration_name', true );
$name = ucfirst($name);
$role .= '_role';
$role = lcfirst($role);
	
add_role( $role, __( $name ), get_role ( 'restaurant_template' )->capabilities );

As before I solved the deleting of the old roles using

$roles = wp_roles()->get_names();

foreach( $roles as $role ) {
if($role = 'role to delete')
    echo translate_user_role( $role );
    remove_role($role);
}

But I cant get it to work this time. The roles will not delete anymore. I have tried replacing remove_role($role) with remove_role(‘role to delete’) but it will not work. I have no idea what happened but all I called to create a role was add role.

@bcworkz so I should make a custom code that gets an array of all the roles finds the ones I want to delete and delete them thru custom code. Also the code above isn’t finished for each role or user it will be name manager, name sever, etc.

Got it working with this

function force_type_private($post) 
{
	if ($post ['post_status'] != 'trash')
	{
		 if (!empty(get_field('recipe_name', $post->ID))) 
		{
	       $post['post_status'] = 'publish';
		}
	}
return $post;
}
add_action('wp_insert_post_data', 'force_type_private', 20);

@bcworkz I came up with this but it isn’t working. I believe it doesn’t work because it is checking if it is in the trash but the problem is I need to check if it’s trying to go to the trash.

function force_type_private($post) 
{
 $post['post_status'] != 'trash'
  {
	$post['post_status'] = 'publish';
	return $post;	
  {
}
add_action('wp_insert_post_data', 'force_type_private', 20);

@bcworkz so could this work I’m having a hard time finding info on hooks and what calls what so there might be some issues but I’m thinking

function force_type_private($post)
{
 If (did_action(‘trash_post’)  //if trying to trash post
{
}
Else 
{
 if ($post[‘post_title’] = ‘ ‘ || ‘autodraft’ //check if title is empty or autodraft
 {
 }
  Else 
      {
  $post['post_status'] = 'publish';
    return $post; //if both both checks are false set stays to published
       }
}
   
}
add_filter('wp_insert_post_data', 'force_type_private');

function remove_if_empty ($post) {
	if ($post['post_title'] = 'autodraft') 
		{
			wp_die('Post was not saved');
			return $post;
		}
}
add_filter('wp_insert_post_data', 'remove_if_empty');

So I wrote this but every time I hit add new it goes to a page that says “Post was not saved.”

@bcworkz @sterndata So my problem stems from custom code. I fix one thing get 5 more things I need to fix. The usual coding life. So it all starts with me wanting to hide the post editor with remove_post_type_support. When I do this I can no longer publish anything. Everything is saved as a draft. So I have this code running to force everything to be published.

function force_type_private($post)
{
    $post['post_status'] = 'publish';
    return $post;
}
add_filter('wp_insert_post_data', 'force_type_private');

The problem is when I try to trash something it calls the code above. My work around for that was this

add_action('wp_trash_post', 'force_trash');
function force_trash($postid)
{
	wp_delete_post($postid);
}

But when the line above trashes it redirects me to that page I stated earlier. So stevens answer won’t help unless there is a hook that plays after it goes to the trash but I don’t think it ever gets that far because of the code that calls when wp_insert_post_data. I don’t really care if things go to the trash or not. I just want it all to look smooth no error screens. Is there some hooks that I didn’t see earlier that I should be using instead? I feel like the code is all right I’m just calling them at wrong times.

Also thank you for all your help I know @bcworkz has helped me with almost every issue I have had.

@bcworkz how would I write a line of code that if the title equals auto draft delete it? I have it set up where if the field is empty it names it autodraft.

@bcworkz i believe I am the hosting account holder. I also believe I am hosting thru WordPress. I bought the business account.

@bcworkz I cant figure out how to change the function.php permission so I can edit it. If I do it thru firezilla I can’t access the theme folders. I tried using code snippet and it didn’t work.

@bcworkz I’m sorry I am fairly new to this so I paste that in the function.php. I can’t paste it there but I don’t want to get into being able to paste it and messing with the security. Until I know that’s the place to do it.

@bcworkz The title doesnt work either forgot to disable a code snippet before testing.
