LifterLMS: Add a Role While Users Are in a Membership
Gives users an extra role when they join a LifterLMS membership and removes it again when they leave, so other plugins can use roles for access.

Code
if ( ! function_exists( 'llms_get_student' ) ) {
return;
}
// Membership ID => role.
$wpide_llms_membership_roles = array(
123 => 'contributor',
);
add_action( 'llms_user_added_to_membership_level', function ( $user_id, $membership_id ) use ( $wpide_llms_membership_roles ) {
$role = $wpide_llms_membership_roles[ (int) $membership_id ] ?? '';
$user = get_userdata( $user_id );
if ( $role && $user && get_role( $role ) ) {
$user->add_role( $role );
}
}, 10, 2 );
$wpide_llms_membership_left = function ( $user_id, $membership_id ) use ( $wpide_llms_membership_roles ) {
$role = $wpide_llms_membership_roles[ (int) $membership_id ] ?? '';
$user = get_userdata( $user_id );
if ( $role && $user && count( $user->roles ) > 1 ) {
$user->remove_role( $role );
}
};
add_action( 'llms_user_removed_from_membership', $wpide_llms_membership_left, 10, 2 );Notes
Map membership IDs to roles that already exist. The user's main role is never touched.
