In an user form I need to add a role based on a checkbox. I added a checkbox with field slug file-supplier to the user form. I wrote the code to added the role based on this thread: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/unable-to-change-user-role-from-cred/

Here is my code:

add_action('cred_save_data', 'cred_add_user_role', 10, 2);

function cred_add_user_role($post_id, $form_data) {
// if a specific form
if ($form_data['id'] == 12)
{
// error_log("_POST");
// error_log(print_r($_POST, true));
if (isset($_POST['file-supplier']))
{
error_log("file-supplier");
$user = new WP_User( $post_id );
$user->add_role('Author');
}
}
}

The code is called, I checked the error_log.

When I check the new user created, there is only the role selected in the user form added. Not the role added by code.

How do I properly add another role based on a checkbox?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

It seems - the role name you have to use is in small letters.

Can you please try to use the following code:

add_action('cred_save_data', 'cred_add_user_role', 10, 2);

function cred_add_user_role($post_id, $form_data) {
// if a specific form
if ($form_data['id'] == 12)
{
// error_log("_POST");
// error_log(print_r($_POST, true));
if (isset($_POST['file-supplier']))
{
error_log("file-supplier");
$user = new WP_User( $post_id );
$user->add_role('author');
}
}
}

Do you see it working?

Yes, this is working, but what will I use for a Custom Role "File Supplier"? I already tried $user->add_role('File Supplier'); and $user->add_role('file supplier'); I added 3 new Custom Roles and based on a checkbox in the user form I need to add the file supplier role.

You can use it as given under:

$user->add_role('file_supplier');
