How to make the anspress participant also subscribe to the website blog?
We can either make the user give the role of anspress participant or the website blog subscriber. How can I make all the anspress participant also get updated with the website blog?
Dear Stefantsov: Well what I wanted to ask is that, while signing up for the website (that means for the forum in my website) I have given the role of anspress participant by default but I also want those anspress participant to get automatically subscribed for the blog which is in the same website. How, can I do that? (I am not new to wordpress neither expert in it)
You have just repeated your question. I understood it first time too. My guess is that you might misunderstand how wordpress work and assume “subscriber” role will automatically make every subscriber receive blog updates.
As far as my knowledge goes, that is not true. https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities#Subscriber roles are just for permissions.
This would mean your whole question is invalid: you are not getting your participants updated neither with nor withour AnsPress.
But that’s quite bold an assumption. That’s why I asked you how you delived your updates before you got struggled with AnsPress roles dilemma.
Oh thanks!! I think I get ur point abit this time. Actually, the website where i have installed anspress is the newer one. What I did was, while testing I had added some friends as subscribers . And I had also installed wp social plugin and under moderation option, I had choosen the option “New users will need to be approved by an administrator before they may log in. “. So their account used to be in pending mode untill and unless I approve them and give them a particular roles. In addition to that , I had mistakenly choosen “default role when sign up ” as “Subscriber”. So , during testing phase, I when I tested blog with sample post, they those friends got updated with that blog post. But nowI have changed that default role to anspress participant and also changed that admin approval option . So, now when user gets signed up, they are anly signed for forum. But what I wanted was to send the blog updates those participants also . So wanted to know either its possible or not?
I have another question to you: let’s imagine you have no AnsPress installed and all registered users are “blog subscribers”. How do you make them updated with the website blog?
