I would like to enable assign a WP User Capability to my WP users when they buy a ticket from a specific event. I have it set up that if they have to register to buy the ticket, then the Capability is set (all purchases must be via a logged-in registered user), however, this does not work for my returning users. Is there a way for me to do this?
My system:
*redacted*
Thanks!

Hi,
Yes there is and it involves adding a bit of custom code into a custom functions plugin.
I shared a gist on GitHub as an example:

You can modify and add the above to a functions plugin.

Just to note, you may want to add a WP_User instance check to the above, if at some point you run an event that does not require the user to be logged in you’ll get a fatal error as add_cap() will not be available.
So this line:
$user->add_cap('a_new_wp_capability');
Would be:
if( $user instanceof WP_User ) {
$user->add_cap('a_new_wp_capability');
}

Many thanks. I was just able to test this, and it worked like a charm.
