Thanks, I got message at https://mycred.me/code-snippets/change-role-based-on-balance/

: The above code goes into your theme's function.php file.

Thanks again.

Hello,

I can make it to work with wordpress Default roles like 'contributor', 'author', 'editor', 'administrator, and I use the plugin of "Capability Manager Enhanced" to create a new role named "Mycredlevelroleone" in our Multisites, and set 'Mycredlevelroleone' => 100000, and it does not work.

How to make it support the custom roles please?

Thanks.

Alex
