Add new user roles wordpress

In WordPress, you can add new user roles by creating a custom role using the add_role function. Here's an example of how to do it:

Method 1: Using the add_role function

You can add a new user role by using the add_role function in your theme's functions.php file or in a plugin. Here's an example:

function add_new_user_role() {
    add_role('new_role', 'New Role', array(
        'read' => true,
        'edit_posts' => true,
        'publish_posts' => true,
        'delete_posts' => true,
        'edit_pages' => true,
        'publish_pages' => true,
        'delete_pages' => true,
        'upload_files' => true,
        'manage_categories' => true,
        'manage_tags' => true,
        'edit_others_posts' => true,
        'edit_others_pages' => true,
        'edit_published_posts' => true,
        'edit_published_pages' => true,
        'edit_private_posts' => true,
        'edit_private_pages' => true,
        'edit_future_posts' => true,
        'edit_future_pages' => true,
        'publish_private_posts' => true,
        'publish_private_pages' => true,
        'publish_future_posts' => true,
        'publish_future_pages' => true,
        'delete_private_posts' => true,
        'delete_private_pages' => true,
        'delete_future_posts' => true,
        'delete_future_pages' => true,
        'read_private_posts' => true,
        'read_private_pages' => true,
    ));
}
add_action('init', 'add_new_user_role');

In this example, we're adding a new role called "new_role" with a set of capabilities. You can customize the capabilities to fit your needs.

Method 2: Using a plugin

You can also add a new user role using a plugin like Role Manager or User Role Editor. These plugins provide a user-friendly interface for managing user roles and capabilities.

Method 3: Using a theme

Some themes, like Twenty Nineteen, provide a built-in way to add new user roles. You can check the theme's documentation to see if it provides a way to add new roles.
