Ok, we’ll start by dive into the codes in which you need to define global variable $wp_roles then after adding new roles you want to define for user using inbuilt function of WordPress add_role.
so Let’s see the code
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 | function init_add_roles() { global $wp_roles; if (class_exists('WP_Roles')) if ( ! isset( $wp_roles ) ) $wp_roles = new WP_Roles(); $wp_roles->add_role( 'role_name', __('Role Name'), array( 'read' => true, // True allows read capability, false to removes it. 'edit_posts' => false, 'delete_posts' => false, 'edit_published_posts' => true, 'publish_posts' => true, 'edit_files' => true, 'upload_files' => true ) ); } add_action('init', 'init_add_roles'); |
Here, I have added a new action for adding a new role for the user. same like that you can remove user role using the inbuilt function of WordPress remove_role.
