 * Hi,
 * I have a custom login form on my site already. I have 3 roles 1 I want to auto
   approve and roles 2 and 3 I want to approve by admin. But the problem I am encountering
   is that role 1 which is the default registration role when auto approval is set
   seems to be the setting that gets applied roles 2 and 3 even though set to approve
   by admin. Can you help.

 * In addition to above – when I set the New User Default Role to Subscriber, the
   approval system doesn`t work at all. Is there of getting it to function with 
   a 3rd party theme registration module, otherwise I am stuck approving all the
   roles on my site. When I am trying to avoid approving web searchers on my site.

 * Sorry, default subscriber works but all roles take the approval setting of the
   default role setting is there any way of getting them to work individually with
   functions.php code?
