After adding the code, the role does not appear in the selection list. Tell me what's wrong? Maybe something prevents the creation of a new role? Since the code is perfect).

register_activation_hook( __FILE__, array( 'mpg', 'mpg_activation' ) ); function mpg_activation(){ add_role('mpg_new', 'New', array( 'read' => true, 'edit_posts' => true, 'delete_posts' => true, 'publish_posts' => true ) ); }

The function is written in the plugin. Also, certain rights are already prescribed for the custom type of post, which will be managed by the user with the above role.

  • Do you have exactly the class name - with a small letter, just 'mpg'? Why not array( $this, 'mpg_activation' ) ? - KAGG Design

  • I see that you absolutely do not understand what is written in your register_activation_hook. You will understand why there is an array, then you will understand my question - KAGG Design

Not correctly used the activation function of the register_activation_hook plugin. Right:

 register_activation_hook( __FILE__, 'mpg_activation' ); function mpg_activation(){ add_role('mpg_new', 'New', array( 'read' => true, 'edit_posts' => true, 'delete_posts' => true, 'publish_posts' => true ) ); }
  • Well, that sorted out. Give the correct kind of activation hook so that other users can figure it out too. - KAGG Design
