Change user role on registration

The code seems fine, possibly the problem is with the user role names. Please check if you are giving the correct role names. In default WordPress, the role names are all small caps: administrator, editor, author, subscriber, contributor.

Thanks for a quick reply!
I attach a screenshot with the user roles. I’ve added them using the Members plugin, http://wordpress.org/plugins/members/.

The names looks okay. Check another thing, goto add new user page in admin and see the select dropdown of user role. The option values should be correct.

I did that. The drop down options have the same value as in the function. I tried with a new WordPress installation also, with the out-of-the-box user roles. But it doesn’t work either.
If you try it yourself, does it work?

Here are screenshots of my current new WordPress installation.

I can’t understand what I’m doing wrong here. I’ve been trying this for hours now! I appreciate all the help! Thanks for great support!

The problem is, the $_POST['membertype'] is an array. Thats why it’s not matching your if/else block. Here’s what I tried (using anonymous function, but you get the idea):

[php]
add_filter( ‘wpuf_register_user_args’, function( $args ) {

if ( !isset( $_POST[‘user_role’] ) ) {
return $args;
}

// get the first element of the array
$user_role = reset( $_POST[‘user_role’] );

switch ( $user_role ) {
case ‘Administrator’:
$args[‘role’] = ‘administrator’;
break;

case ‘Subscriber’:
$args[‘role’] = ‘subscriber’;
break;

case ‘Shop Worker’:
$args[‘role’] = ‘shop_worker’;
break;

case ‘Shop Manager’:
$args[‘role’] = ‘shop_manager’;
break;
}

return $args;
});
[/php]

Thank you very much! Now it works as it should!
