    Hi there!

    Is it possible to approve currents users in the backend as instructors? I can’t fill out the form on the instructor registration page because I see my Account Info and edit possibilities there, but I can’t find a way to manual approve myself (or others) that are already users on the site as instructors.

    Hi @evatb,

    Nice to see you again here. 🙂

    Actually, adding or changing user role is easy.

    To add a new user (say new Instructor), please follow the instructions below.

    • In the dashboard, go to Users-> Add New User.
    • You should see add new user screen as shown here.
    • Add the user details as you want. For the Role, please select role as Masteriyo Instructor.
    • Save the changes. That’s it.

    Similarly, to change the role of existing user.
    – Please go to Users -> All Users.
    – Click on the user that you want to edit.
    – Simply change the role of user to Masteriyo Instructor and save the changes.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.

    Thank you, I see it now! What if a users needs to be a WordPress Admin and an Masteriyo Instructor though? Speaking for myself for example, I manage the website but I also teach courses and want to be available in the dropdown while uploading a course.

    Hi @evatb,

    Admin is like Instructor + Admin by default. Please do let us know if you are facing any issue or not seeing yourself (admin) in the dropdown for Instructor option for any course.

    Thanks.

    Hi Sanjip!

    I do indeed have 3 admins (including myself) that I do not see in the dropdown as instructors 🙂

    Marking as resolved as version 1.3.8 fixes this issue.
