Problem:
The issue here is that the user wanted to change their user role when a post form has been submitted.

Solution:

This can be done by using the following hook.

add_action('cred_save_data', 'change_user_role_on_save',10,2);
function change_user_role_on_save($post_id, $form_data)
{
    // if a specific form
    if ($form_data['id']==573)
    {
     $user = wp_get_current_user();
   
       
if ( in_array( 'subscriber', (array) $user->roles ) ) {
         
// Remove role
$user->remove_role( 'subscriber' );
  
// Add role
$user->set_role('editor');
}
          
    }
}

What you need to do is replace 'subscriber' with the user's current role and then 'editor' with the role that you want the user to gain. Finally just change the 573 to the ID of the post form.

This code can be added to the Toolset custom code snippets at Toolset -> Settings -> Custom Code.

Once it has been added please ensure that you've activated it.
