title: How to set default user role in WordPress?
body: <p>I have a website that uses Wishlist Member to control registration and BBPress.</p>
  
  <p>I can assign a role to the user upon registration for the Forums. However, I can't assign them a role for the website, which WordPress uses to allow users to access their profile at <a href="http://www.domainname.com/wp-admin/profile" rel="nofollow">http://www.domainname.com/wp-admin/profile</a></p>
  
  <p>Any ideas on how I can allow the users to access their profile if they wish to change their password or upload a picture etc.</p>
  
  <p>I have set the role default in WordPress for new users to be 'Spectator' but when I create new users no user role is being set.</p>
