I don’t believe that the s2-hacks is the solution for you, but maybe you can confirm my understanding of what you are doing. What you want to do is give someone author or editor rights when they become a paid subscriber via S2.

You memtion that you use the Members plugin to edit/assign capabilities. Do you mean that you are using the “User Roles Editor” plugin, or are you editing capabilities in a different manner. My thought would be that you could assign editor rights to the S2 level that is appropriate and that should work for what you want to do… s2-hacks would be unesessary in that case.

Thanks for the suggestings, guys… got it to work! It was a combination of both of your suggestions. The final code that worked is below. I don’t understand why the “Calendar Contributor” had to be entered as “calendar_contributor” when all the references I see to it on my sites roles is as “Calendar Contributor”, but it probrably has to do with internal pointer verses displayed content. I’m not sure how to display the internal pointer. But anyway, it works. And I did have to follow the suggestion of passing the number of arguments (I assumed 1) to get it to work.

<?php
	/* Forces the default role of a new user to be set to "Calendar Contributor" instead of "Subscriber" */
	add_filter("ws_plugin__s2member_force_default_role", "default_role",10,1);
	function default_role($role){
		$return = 'calendar_contributor';
		return $return;
	}
?>
<?php
	/* locks custom roles and capabilities from being reset during S2 upgrade */
    add_filter("ws_plugin__s2member_lock_roles_caps", "__return_true");
?>
