Membership Levels

[abu117]

First, a little background:

1. When I first set up this site, I set up three paid levels: VIP, Gold, and Bronze  (Members > Membership Levels)
2. Later, I changed the VIP Level to be Free and allowed signups
3. The Gold and Bronze still had pricing attached, but I disabled the signups option
4. When I had a new signup, I would go to the site backend and to users and manually edited each and every users Membership Level to be VIP and to not expire.

My plan was to add the different membership levels (paying) once I reached a certain amount of members.  I have since changed my mind and I plan to FOREVER offer the site for free to all members with no restrictions. So, here are my questions:

1. Is there a way to automatically make it so that any new signups are automatically signed up as a VIP status?
2. And, if there is a way, can I be assured that my existing 1,200+ members will retain their current status?

I was thinking of going into the Sweetdate > Memberships and unchecking all the levels to restrict, but still restricting “not logged in” or “Not members” only. Would this accomplish the same thing?

Thanks for any help on this 🙂  I am tired of editing everyones membership after they sign up 🙂

Hi,

I think this it’s all that you need

COPY CODE

//Disables the pmpro redirect to levels page when user tries to register
add_filter("pmpro_login_redirect", "__return_false");
function my_pmpro_default_registration_level($user_id) {
	//Give all members who register membership level 1
	pmpro_changeMembershipLevel(1, $user_id);
}
add_action('user_register', 'my_pmpro_default_registration_level');

So all users that signup from now will have by default the membership with ID 1, the current users shouldn’t be affected since it’s used user_register hook.

In any case do a database backup before running the script to be sure 100% that will not affect the existing users.

Changing the settings in theme options -> memberships -> will be applied for all users !

Cheers

I’m assuming this goes in the child theme functions.php file? Do I add it just before the ?>

Abe

Existing functions.php in child theme

:

<?php
/**
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage Sweetdate
* @author SeventhQueen <themesupport@seventhqueen.com>
* @since Sweetdate 1.0
*/

/**
* Sweetdate Child Theme Functions
* Add extra code or replace existing functions
*/

?>

[Radu]

custom code will be added after

/**
* Sweetdate Child Theme Functions
* Add extra code or replace existing functions
*/

the code here

?>

Nope, that didn’t work. It still shows a membership level of “none” under users. And when a new user logs in, it shows an “Upgrade Account” under their username.

Should I be changing the number 1 in here to read “5” instead

pmpro_changeMembershipLevel(1, $user_id); to instead be pmpro_changeMembershipLevel(5, $user_id);

Since under Memberships > Membership Levels it shows ID #5 as VIP?

Thanks,

Abe

disregard that last message – I tried it with ID “5” and it worked – thanks so much 🙂

Great
