Here is the solution I used:</p> <p>add_action("gform_user_registered", "add_custom_user_meta", 10, 3);<br /> function add_custom_user_meta($user_id, $config, $entry) { </p> <p>wp_set_current_user( $user_id );<br /> $user = wp_get_current_user();<br /> $user-&gt;add_cap ("access_s2member_ccap_test");<br /> }</p> <p>i know the wp_set_current_user fuction returns the WP_user object, I just don't know how to access the return value as I really don't know PHP.</p> <p>Now, my last question here, how do I perform this routine on select registration forms? For instance, only form 6, but not on form 8? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/adding-custom-capability-issues#post-31645 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 19:35:09 +0000 travin 31645@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Been doing a little more testing with the following code:</p> <p>add_action("gform_user_registered", "add_custom_user_meta", 10, 3);</p> <p>function add_custom_user_meta($user_id, $config, $entry){</p> <p>$user_id-&gt;add_cap ("access_s2member_ccap_test");</p> <p>}</p> <p>I get the following error:</p> <p>Fatal error: Call to a member function add_cap() on a non-object in /home3/freecla3/public_html/wp-content/themes/Superb/functions.php on line 502</p> <p>This code is what s2member uses in their code to add custom capabilities:</p> <p>$user-&gt;add_cap ("access_s2member_ccap_" . $ccap);</p> <p>Does this help at all? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/adding-custom-capability-issues#post-31629 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 17:00:51 +0000 travin 31629@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks.

I have a free membership and a product that uses the custom capability for registration purposes. I have to be able to add the custom capability some way other than manually.</p> <p>Thanks for the help, but I gotta do it the way we have previously discussed. </p>
