 * Hi!
    Since I installed this plugin, I added various user roles, and deleted the
   default ones from WP leaving only Administrator + my custom roles.
 * I want the new user when registers to get automatically a custom role (“Client”)
   but instead he/she gets “None”
 * (The role Client is set as the default when someone registers)
 * How could I solve this?

 * Hi [@barbitania](https://wordpress.org/support/users/barbitania/)
 * Could you confirm that the “New User Default Role” option in the Settings → General
   section is set to “Client”? If that doesn’t work, maybe there is some plugin 
   or theme conflict. Please deactivate all your plugins temporarily to see if this
   resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate all plugins one by one to see
   which one cause that issue. You can also switch your current theme to the default
   WordPress theme temporarily and see if this helps.
 * Best
