hi, was using a snippet to change the user role on user submitting a listing. It worked beautiful but not with GeoDit CPT. What am i doing wrong?
```
/*change user role when MORE then xxx posts on login*/
function custom_update_roles( $user_login, $user ) {
    if ( ! empty( $user->roles ) && is_array( $user->roles ) ) {
        if ( in_array( "subscriber", $user->roles ) ) 
        {
        $user_id =$user->ID;
        $post_count=count_user_posts( $user_id,'gd_place' );
            if ( $post_count > 0 ) {
              // Success.
                $u = new WP_User( $user_id );
                $u->remove_role( 'subscriber' );
                $u->add_role( 'author' );
            } 
        } 

        else
        {
        // This user is not a subscriber.
        }
    }
}
add_action( 'wp_login', 'custom_update_roles', 10, 2 );
```

Hi entoen,

You are only checking for gd_place post type, try checking for all
geodir_get_posttypes()
```
/*change user role when MORE then xxx posts on login*/
function custom_update_roles( $user_login, $user ) {
    if ( ! empty( $user->roles ) && is_array( $user->roles ) ) {
        if ( in_array( "subscriber", $user->roles ) ) 
        {
        $user_id =$user->ID;
        $gd_post_types = geodir_get_posttypes();
        $post_count=count_user_posts( $user_id, $gd_post_types );
            if ( $post_count > 0 ) {
              // Success.
                $u = new WP_User( $user_id );
                $u->remove_role( 'subscriber' );
                $u->add_role( 'author' );
            } 
        } 

        else
        {
        // This user is not a subscriber.
        }
    }
}
add_action( 'wp_login', 'custom_update_roles', 10, 2 );
```
Thanks,

hi Stiofan, thank you for your answer. It isn’t working. Why would checking for post types work? I am only using gd_place as a post-type.

Sorry i thought u meant to use it with CPT addon.
Your original code looks ok to me, maybe its the placement.

I thought so too, and it is working!

one last adjustment i cannot seem to implement is that i only want the published post to be counted. Is that possible?

I tried adding “->publish” but it doesn’t do the job:
```
function custom_update_roles( $user_login, $user ) {
    if ( ! empty( $user->roles ) && is_array( $user->roles ) ) {
        if ( in_array( "author", $user->roles ) ) 
        {
        $user_id =$user->ID;
        $post_count=count_user_posts( $user_id,'gd_place' )->publish;
            if ( $post_count = 0 ) {
              // Success.
                $u = new WP_User( $user_id );
                $u->remove_role( 'author' );
                $u->add_role( 'subscriber' );
            } 
        } 

        else
        {
        // This user is not a subscriber.
        }
    }
}
add_action( 'wp_login', 'custom_update_roles', 10, 2 );
```

got it!
cannot use $post_count = 0

so i turned to the expired listings; this works fine:
```
/*change user role when MORE then xxx posts on login*/
function custom_update_roles( $user_login, $user ) {
    if ( ! empty( $user->roles ) && is_array( $user->roles ) ) {
        if ( in_array( "author", $user->roles ) ) 
        {
        $user_id =$user->ID;
        $post_count=count_user_posts( $user_id,'gd_place' )->expire;
            if ( $post_count = 1 ) {
              // Success.
                $u = new WP_User( $user_id );
                $u->remove_role( 'author' );
                $u->add_role( 'subscriber' );
            } 
        } 

        else
        {
        // This user is not a subscriber.
        }
    }
}
add_action( 'wp_login', 'custom_update_roles', 10, 2 );
```
