I have ee4 installed, the wp-user integration. Cool!…. except I can’t figure it out.

I now understand that I must change user capabilities… I have installed the appropriate plug-in to do it but I am baffled and the LAST thing I want to do is provide capabilities that might accidently ‘wreck the shop’.

Do you have a list relatively begnign WordPress or EE4 capabilities?

Thanks

Hi Omar,

I don’t think you need to change user capabilities unless there’s something unique to your membership scheme. Are your members given the default “Subscriber” role when they become a member of the site? If so, you can set the WP User Capability required for purchasing the member only ticket to be “read”. This is outlined in our documentation:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/wp-user-integration/#ee4usage

Here’s a link to the codex documentation that shows that the “read” capability is the only capability assigned to the subscriber role.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities#Subscriber

So unless you’re not assigning the subscriber role to new members, you can use the “read” capability and you do not need to change user’s capabilities.

Darn, I should have clarified, I am using Paid memberships pro. From looking at another thread it looks like pricing can’t be set by member level is that right?

hmm.. in either case I realise I can set the user capability to READ.

If Paid Memberships pro gives each member level its own capability, then yes you can set each ticket to require a specific a capability to give each member level its own ticket prices.
