How Do I Change User Role in WordPress Programmatically?

In WordPress, there are a few ways to change user roles:

1. Use the wp_User Role Manager plugin to create and manage user roles.

2. Use the wp_ensure_role() function to add or remove roles from a user.

3. Use the WordPress admin panel to change user roles.

In general, using the wp_User Role Manager plugin is the easiest and most secure way to manage user roles. It allows you to create, edit, and delete user roles, and to assign roles to users.

The wp_ensure_role() function is useful if you only want to add or remove roles from a specific user. This function allows you to check whether a user already has a certain role, and to add or remove roles from that user if they do not.

The WordPress admin panel is the easiest way to change user roles. To change a user’s role in the WordPress admin panel, click the “User Role” link on the Users page. This page has a list of all the user roles that are currently enabled for that user.

To add a new role to the list, click the “Add New Role” link. To remove a role from the list, click the “Remove Role” link.
