Title: Multiple role when creating user doesn’t work Last modified: May 30, 2022 --- # Multiple role when creating user doesn’t work * Resolved [karbou](https://wordpress.org/support/users/karbou/) * (@karbou) * [4 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-role-when-creating-user-doesnt-work/) * I find something strange. * I Have a website, when i create user, i can allow multiple, but doesn’t work when the user is create, but working when i do the same thing for an existing user. So it’s not working when user create but ok with existing user. * In your code, on /includes/admin-load.php you have this * ``` add_action('profile_update', [$this, 'action_profile_update'], 10, 2); if (is_multisite()) { add_action('add_user_to_blog', [$this, 'action_profile_update'], 9); } else { add_action('user_register', [$this, 'action_profile_update'], 9); } ``` * So when a user is created or is updated, we use **action_profile_update** * And on this function we have this : * ``` // Check if we need to update the user's roles, allowing to set multiple roles. if (!empty($_REQUEST['_wpnonce']) && wp_verify_nonce(sanitize_key($_REQUEST['_wpnonce']), 'update-user_' . $userId) && isset($_POST['pp_roles']) && current_user_can('promote_users')) { ``` * in my case, i don’t have $_REQUEST[‘_wpnonce’] but this $_REQUEST[‘_wpnonce_create- user’], this can work. And i’m not sure but the seconde condition ( wp_verify_nonce( sanitize_key($_REQUEST[‘_wpnonce’]), ‘update-user_’ . $userId) ) can working when user is creating. * If i replace this `if (!empty($_REQUEST['_wpnonce']) && wp_verify_nonce(sanitize_key( $_REQUEST['_wpnonce']), 'update-user_' . $userId) && isset($_POST['pp_roles'])&& current_user_can('promote_users')) {` * by this * `if (isset($_POST['pp_roles']) && current_user_can('promote_users')) {` * but it’s obviously not the good solution * Thanks for your time. - This topic was modified 4 years ago by [karbou](https://wordpress.org/support/users/karbou/). - This topic was modified 4 years ago by [karbou](https://wordpress.org/support/users/karbou/).

The code isn’t a custom code, it’s a solution i can find to fix this, temporarily. But let me explain the probleme just with your code. * My problem is this. I want to allow multiple role for a user. Case 1: Basic case – I create a user, i choose his role – After saved this user, i edit them and now i can add multiple role. * Case 2 : PP_CAPABILITIES_ADD_USER_MULTI_ROLES defined – I define PP_CAPABILITIES_ADD_USER_MULTI_ROLES– I create a user and choose multiple role, contributor, editor – After i saved this user, his role is wrong, he’s currently administrator and i need to change this role on a second time, and after that, his role is good. * So, Case 1 is OK, but i would like to save multiple role when i creating a user. So i use PP_CAPABILITIES_ADD_USER_MULTI_ROLES and case 2. But in this case, it’s not work perfectly. And in this case, for me, the problem is in includes/admin- load on line 355 * `if (!empty($_REQUEST['_wpnonce']) && wp_verify_nonce(sanitize_key($_REQUEST[' _wpnonce']), 'update-user_' . $userId) && isset($_POST['pp_roles']) && current_user_can(' promote_users')) {` * Because in my request, i don’t have **_wpnonce** but this **_wpnonce_create-user** and obviously, when you check the, it’s not gonna work. And Publish Press can’t handle a case with **_wpnonce_create-user** * For you, it’s a probleme with an another plugin or, Publish Press, should work with a request like _wpnonce_create-user ? * Thaks a lot and i hope i am more clear * Best regards Matt * Plugin Author [Steve Burge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stevejburge/) * (@stevejburge) * [3 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-role-when-creating-user-doesnt-work/#post-15798990) * [@karbou](https://wordpress.org/support/users/karbou/) Thanks for the feedback. * We’re going to improve this code in the next release of Capabilities and allow new users to have multiple roles.
