Hello, I am trying to create a new User Role. So that when it is selected it automatically gets all all of the attributes of the Role. Current Role Examples: Admin Instructor Student NEW ROLE = Producer I would like to make a Producer Role. Producers are Co-Authors and receive course partnerships % and have all capabilities just like Instructors but are not visible. Producers don't show up on the Instructor Page and on the Course Page as an instructor. (THEY ARE HIDDEN) Instead they show up on a similar page to the instructor page but titled Producer Page. Can you please help me to make this happen automatically as a Role? So when a Producer is created it automatically gets all those attributes? ? Thank you so much! Attached a Picture

Instructor = Editor in WPLMS, so producer role should have all capabilities of Editor. Registering a new role is easy, refer : https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_role Producers will not be visible in All instructor page, because it only finds instructors. Once added, you'll be able to add the users of this user role in course via coauthors plugin but here's a catch, you do not want to display these users as instructors of course. You'll need to use the filter : wplms_display_course_instructor ($instructor_html,$course_id) a. Find the authors of course b. check the user role of each author c. Remove author if role matches producer. d. generate instructor_html again. example snippet:
```
add_filter('wplms_display_course_instructor','product_instructor',10,2);

function product_instructor($instructor_html,$course_id){

$instructor_ids = apply_files('wplms_course_instructor',get_post_field('post_author',$course_id),$course_id);

if(!is_array($instructor_ids)){

	$instructor_ids = array($instructor_ids);

}

foreach($instructor_ids as $key => $instructor_id){

	$data = get_userdata($instructor_id);

	if(in_array('producer',$data->roles)){

	unset($instructor_ids[$key]);

	}
}
$instructor = '';
foreach($instructor_ids as $instructor_id){

$instructor = '

					'.bp_course_get_instructor_avatar(array('item_id'=>$instructor_id)).'

					'.$displayname.''.$special.'

					';

	$instructor .= apply_filters('wplms_instructor_meta','',$instructor_id);				

	$instructor .='';

}
return $instructor;
}
```

Sorry, I know this might sound stupid of me. 1. Where do I paste that coding? 2. Once I plug it in, will I still have to manually input the producers user id into the code in order to remove them? 3. You are right the editor role is exactly the role I want for Producers. I also want a page that displays all my Producers automatically the same exact way as the Instructors. Thanks again for your help

Sorry Scratch everything I said. This helped me out a lot. Now I understand what I want exactly. My site works a little bit different than the WPLMS template. I don't allow instructors to self sign up and create their own courses. However I do want them to be able to view a few things in the back end. 1. I need two NEW Roles with the same exact attributes and abilities, I don't want to alter the current Instructor Role because I am using it for something else. - Celebrity Instructors - Producers I want these two roles to only be able to view the following in the backend. 1. LMS - 2 parts only - Statistics for Course (Just for Courses they are Instructing/Producing) - Payment History (Just for Courses they are Instructing/Producing) 2. Profile The closest ROLE we currently have is a contributor. Except I don't want them to be able to see and have access to Post, Popups, Testimonials, Comments, News, Tools. And then finally.. 3. I want both Roles to have thier on Page Template the same way the Instructors currently do, so that we can have our Celebrity Instructors and Producers Page populated automatically. Thank you again for your help. If you are kind enough to give me codings or direction please let me know exactly where I need to put everything because I am new to css, php, editing etc. Thank you again.

To make it easier.. Maybe they don't have access to back end at all? I just want to two roles to be able to have front end so they can see their commissions on the dashboard- front end.
