Skippy

Okay. I did some testing.

Created a new member with s2member active, then disabled s2member, logged in, no role assigned.

Disabled 2smember, registered a user and then log in – no role is assigned.

I then went to the ‘assign groups to roles’ tab and assigned a role to the subscriber level.

Registered a new user, logged in, still no role assigned. s2member was turned off the whole time.

Next test, I deactivated all plugins except this one and bbpress. Created a new user, logged in. Still no group assigned.

list of plugins on the site:
Akismet
BackWPup
Basic User Avatars
bbP private groups
bbPress
Better Delete Revision
Broken Link Checker
Default Sort Ascend
Google Analyticator
Google Analytics Dashboard for WP
Jetpack by WordPress.com
Meteor Slides
Plainview Activity Monitor
s2Member Framework
Scroll Triggered Box
Semalt Redirect Manager
User Bookmarks
Weaver II Maintenance
Weaver II Theme Extras
Wordfence Security
WordPress Editorial Calendar
WordPress SEO

I have a WordPress site I use for testing things that has s2Member on it. Would it help if I gave you access to that so you could look at that plugin?

I do have the premium version of s2member.

Is it possible something is corrupted in my database? Should I just delete the plugin and all it’s data and start over from scratch?

I’m not excited about doing that, but if that will help solve the problem then I gotta do what I gotta do.

1. There is no wording for Group5 in the ‘group name settings’.

2. Got it.

3. s2member is annoyingish….

There is a login widget which I’ve been using sometimes. I created a new user and made sure to login via /wp-login. Still the same result.

forum role of participant is assigned.

but no group is assigned. for this user level Group1 should have been assigned.

Just to see what happens I also unchecked the “add group on login” box.

Created a new user, logged in via /wp-login.

Still no group assigned.

If it works for you and not for me it’s almost gotta be something related to s2member it seems….

fixed by creating a force-upgrade.php and running that.

as described in this thread:

Thanks for the lead. I’ll check out the other threads.

the “add group on login” box is checked. All setting appear normal.

I created a new user, logged in. Still no groups set.

The ‘forum role’ did get set to participant, but none of the private groups were set.

I got this message when activating the beta.

“The plugin generated 4 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.”

Plugin is active. I will test and report back.

I will test the beta and get back to you soonish.

Regarding the new group.

In WordPress go to Users, select a user to edit, on the edit page for a user scroll all the way to the bottom. I see this right above the “update user” button.

Forums

Forum Role Participant

Private Groups

Group1 Students Click to add this group

Group2 Graduates Click to add this group

Group3 Employers Click to add this group

Group4 bbpAdmin Click to add this group

Groupate_new_group 1 Click to add this group

I didn’t understand about the user having to log in before forum roles are assigned. Thanks for clairifying that to me.

I signed in. The user has been assigned the forum role of participant now.

However no group was assigned. User can not see any of the forums as all forums require some level of group access.

There is also an addition group in the Users -> Edit User page called “Groupate_new_group 1” which I did not create. Maybe that means something to you.

Confirmed.

I just registered as a new user. Should have gone into Group1, was not added to any group and forum role is set to “no role for these forums”.

I’m still on 2.5.5 just so you know.

Interesting. I didn’t notice the display error first time around… oh well. But thanks for confirming all that.

As far as setting up the users, they are registering via s2Member. Not being set up manually.

Thanks. I’ll be on the lookout for responses and test things soon as I can for you.

Midnight? Damn my friend, get to sleep.

That is a negative on new users being assigned to groups.

That is what tipped me off that something was wrong. I was testing the site and creating new user accounts. I noticed the new users were not being assigned to groups as I was expecting to happen, so I went to check the plugin settings. That when I discovered the error.

I just created a new user s2Member level 1, but the user is assigned to no groups. That user should be in group 1.

You should go to bed and fix tomorrow anyway. This site isn’t live until April 1st, so no real people are being affected by this.

Sure thing. Thanks.
