Tell us what you are trying to do?
I would like to change the role of a user after complete one Post form.
More detailed:
After one user complete the form with ID 2251 it should change the role from 'pendiente' a 'guia_produccion'.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
Yes, I've tried those topics, but I'm not be able to reach it.
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/change-user-role-with-cred-form/
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/need-to-change-roles-via-creds-there-is-no-role-field-in-toolset-cred/
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/change-a-users-role-upon-submission-of-a-form/

Including those codes (which I changed as far as my knowledge let me do) :

1)

add_action('cred_save_data', 'cred_update_user_role_action',10,2);
function cred_update_user_role_action($user_id, $form_data) {

if ($form_data['id'] == 2320) {
// modify the user role to match the selected option
$role = get_user_meta( $user_id,'wpcf-user_select_role', true );
$u = new WP_User( $user_id );
$u->remove_role( 'pending' ); /// adjust role name here if needed
$u->add_role( $role );
}
}

2)

add_action('cred_save_data', 'my_save_data_action',10,2);
function my_save_data_action($post_id, $form_data)
{

if ($form_data['id']=='279')
{
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$user_id = $current_user->ID;
wp_update_user ( array ( $user_id, 'role' => 'inventory_admin' ));
}
}

Is there a similar example that we can see?
Not sure.

What is the link to your site?
hidden link

Can you help me Shane?

Hi Jaime,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Actually the correct way of doing this is the following.

add_action('cred_save_data', 'cred_update_user_role_action',10,2);
function cred_update_user_role_action($user_id, $form_data) {

if ($form_data['id'] == 2320) {
// modify the user role to match the selected option
$user = wp_get_current_user();
$role = get_user_meta( $user->ID,'wpcf-user_select_role', true );
if ( !in_array( 'admin', (array) $user->roles ) ) {
$u = new WP_User( $user->ID );
$u->remove_role( 'pending' ); /// adjust role name here if needed
$u->add_role( $role);}
}
}

This should get it working.

However is the user role field on the user a select field ?

Please let me know.
Thanks,
Shane

Sorry Shane.
Actually my Issue is resolved (great! thanks a lot!) but I wanted to ask you to confirm my code is correct, because I changed two things and besides it's working fine, I would like a pro confirmation.

where your code says :

$u->remove_role( 'pending' ); /// adjust role name here if needed
$u->add_role( $role);}

I put this :

$u->remove_role( 'pendiente' ); /// adjust role name here if needed
$u->add_role( 'guia_produccion' );}

It's working as I expected, but is it the code correct?

Thanks a lot Shane.
You saved me.

Hi Jaime,

Yes

$u->remove_role( 'pendiente' ); /// adjust role name here if needed
$u->add_role( 'guia_produccion' );}

This is correct because you need to remove the previous role first and then add the new role to the user.

Thanks,
Shane
