I don’t know why this is marked as “Resolved.” It’s not what I was looking for. People who want to download our product will have to access a private page to register and I want just those people to be assigned a special role solely intended for those who get the download. The setting you suggested has always been set to “Subscriber” and I want to leave it that way. WordPress Download Manager at Settings>Frontend Access has a section entitled “Allowed Sign up Roles” the description of which says “ . . . users signed up using that form will be assigned to that selected role.” I really can’t find a “signup” form and can only assume that it is referring to the registration form which I want to use but only if those who register through the private page (which uses the package shortcode) are assigned that special role. I did try it out but anyone who registers using the form are assigned the role of “Subscriber” and not “TFWP Download” which is what I want to happen.
I am using the short code [wpdm_package id='xxxx'] for the Registration form. The ID for the user role I want to use is called “download”. Does this ID need to be included in the shortcode to make this happen and if so how do I do that? There are no instructions or hints in the support documents to guide me. Thanks.
