Yes, exactly. Depending on the user role wordpress shall send specific new user and account activation mail.

Maybe there is one more thing, you could help me. Do have any idea how to implement role based User Notification mails e.g. “New User” and “Account Activated” to the Theme My Login plugin?

Sorry, my last response did confuse you. Here is the actual code with which I got the problem.

In the regsiter form:

<input type="hidden" name="role" value="bdonator" />

In functions.php:

function set_role_on_registration( $user_id ) {

	//$role = sanitize_text_field( $_POST['role'] );
	$role = 'bdonator';

	if ( in_array( $role, array( 'bdonator', 'bprofessional' ) ) )
		add_user_meta( $user_id, 'pending_role', $role );
}
add_action( 'tml_new_user_registered', 'set_role_on_registration' );

function set_role_on_activation( $user_id ) {
	if ( $pending_role = get_user_meta( $user_id, 'pending_role', true ) ) {

		if ( !in_array( $pending_role, array( 'bdonator', 'bprofessional' ) ) )
			return;

		$user = new WP_User( $user_id );

		$user->set_role( $pending_role );

		unset( $user );

	}
}
add_action( 'tml_new_user_activated', 'set_role_on_activation' );

Thanks in advance for your patience 🙂

Guess so, either. However, it does not. I checked if the hidden field actually exists and put it into the register form. But still nothing. I attached to action tag of the register form &role=myrole to get the value via GET. But still nothing!

In the register form and before the submit button I put:

<input type="hidden" name="role" value="bdonator" />

and removed add_action(‘register_form’,’show_role_field’);.

In the function set_role_on_registration I put:

$role = sanitize_text_field( $_POST['role'] );
// $role = sanitize_text_field( $_GET['role'] );

Yes. Seems that this was the reason. Due to the user moderation option “email verifcation”, registering a individual role on registration does not work.

Line 271 in user-moderation.php:

$user_object = new WP_User( $user->ID );
$user_object->set_role( get_option( 'default_role' ) );
unset( $user_object );

Thanks for the post. It is still not working. In my opinion it’s not about the function, its about the failed calling of the function during registration.

It seems that add_action( ‘user_register’, ‘set_role_on_registration’ ); does not work! I’ve tried to output an echo or alert in the function set_role_on_registration, but nothing happens.

My current approach in functions.php:

//create custom user role at registration
## example link: http://example.com/wp-login.php?action=register&role=my_role1
//

function show_role_field(){
	?>
    <input id="role" type="hidden" tabindex="20" size="25" value="<?php if (isset($_GET['role'])){echo $_GET['role'];} ?>"  name="role"/>
	<?php
}
add_action('register_form','show_role_field');

function set_role_on_registration( $user_id ) {

	$new_role = sanitize_text_field( $_POST['role'] );

	//only allow if user role is one of defined roles

	if (
		($new_role == "my_role1") or
		($new_role == "my_role2") )
	{
		// Instantiate a user object
		$user = new WP_User( $user_id );

		// Set your role
		$user->set_role( $new_role );

		// Destroy user object
		unset( $user );	}
}
add_action( 'user_register', 'set_role_on_registration' );

//end create user role at registration
