How to make free buddypress registrant level 1 instead of the default level 0 (subscriber) with s2member?

    I have a wordpress/buddypress/s2member install.

    What I need to know is how to make the bp registration form change from the default level 0 (subscriber) to automatically give them level 1 access without any payment.

    My whole training site is free. I have 5 s2member levels, 1,2,3,4,5. I do not use level 0 because the default subscriber roles don’t work properly for what I am doing.

    Again, I just need the buddy press form to give instant access to level 1 instead of level 0.

    Any thoughts on how to do this?
    I would imagine it is relatively straight forward, but I have scoured the forums here and found nothing on it.

    I could do it pretty easy in s2member, but buddypress only uses its registration form and doesn’t allow s2members, from what I understand…

    Anyone have any thoughts on this?

    I appreciate your wisdom, Thanks in advance!

    Where would I place said code snippet? I don’t have the plugin they are referring to.

    edited:

    /* Forces the default role of a new user to be set to "s2member Level 1" instead of "Subscriber" */
add_filter("ws_plugin__s2member_force_default_role", "default_role",10,1);
function default_role($role) {
	$return = 's2member_level1';
	return $return;
}

    Can I place this in my bp code somewhere or something?

    Please use the ‘code’ button when posting code in these forums.

    They explain exactly where to put it:

    You can overcome this problem by adding the following to your s2hacks.php file in your mu-plugins folder:

    You may have to create that folder and file. If you don’t know how, google it.

    The name of the filter hook may have changed. Ask on the s2member forums.

    From what I understand Buddypress has authority over s2member’s registration process, so even if I change things for s2member, buddypress won’t recognize it.

    IS there anything I can change in buddy press to make it work?

    Or

    Is there a way I can give the registration authority back to s2member?

    Thanks!

    Try adding this to bp-custom.php:

    function josiah_set_user_role( $user_id, $user_login, $user_password, $user_email, $usermeta ) {
    wp_update_user( array( 'ID' => $user_id, 'role' => 's2member_level1' ) );
}
add_action( 'bp_core_signup_user', 'josiah_set_user_role', 15, 5 );
