    Hi,

    How do I add a field in the registration form such that new users can select their role in wordpress?

    Thanks.

    Hello!

    UsersWP does not have such a feature at this time.

    In every case I have heard of, it is the job of the Admin to apply a role to new/other users.

    In some cases, members want to offer roles ‘for sale’.

    You can do that with the “Paid Members” addon for WP Invoicing. This applies to users that have already registered and are seeking another role. The ‘price’ can be set to ‘free’.

    Hi Alex, I understand the approach, but that will be too troublesome for the users.

    Possible if I use this? I have seen this somewhere, but I do not know how to customise it with mine.

    //Create the user
    $user_id = wp_create_user( $username, $password, $email );
    $user = new WP_User( $user_id );

    //If the user selects vendor set the role to vendor
    if( $_POST[‘user_role’] == ‘vendor’ )
    {
    $user->set_role( ‘vendor’ );
    }
    //Else they are a customer
    else
    {
    $user->set_role( ‘customer’ );
    }

    Could you help with this?

    Hello!

    That would be a customization, but something that one of the GD Experts could help with:
