When I create a new user, how come I can't add them to the 'Guest' usergroup?

The only options are Admin, Customer, Moderator, Registered. Screenshot attached.

Hi @philraymond,

Please never use Guest Usergeoup for registered users. This is a specific usergeoup and only designed for not logged-in unauthorized forum visitors, it should not be attached to any authorized (logged-in) user. You create new usergroup for other users.

In case you want to say thank you !)
We'd really appreciate and be thankful if you leave a good review on plugin page. This is the best way to say thank you to this project and support team.

Hi @philraymond

Like what Robert said, the "Guest" usergroup is for website visitors = those who are not logged in.  

You might want to review the article below so that you can see how the Forum was designed, and so you can also apply it to how you want to use it.  

https://wpforo.com/docs/root/members/member-manager/

"Subscribers", "Registered" usergroups can be given "Standard Access".

"Guests" usergroup can be given some access or No access, which can be customized per Forum Category or Topic.  

The "Admin", "Customer", "Moderator", "Registered", are forum "User Groups", with specific "CAN's" permission.

You can review how you can customize them on the article below.

https://wpforo.com/docs/root/members/usergroups-and-permissions/

If you are creating a new "user or member", you can designate that user as "Registered" in the Forum, which will have Standard Access.  as specified in the "Permissions" you have set. 

https://wpforo.com/docs/root/members/usergroups-and-permissions/

Good luck and God bless you.  🙂 

 

I'm just a member here who used to be a newbie.

The case: When I actually put my keyboard where my forum is, and became #172. Can you imagine if you had to build this forum yourself? How kind and patient will you be? The best way to say thank you is say it, write it, and then head on over at Wordpress plugin page and rate wpForo 5 stars - by clicking here.
