About YITH Automatic Role Changer for WooCommerce 1.6.6
YITH Automatic Role Changer for WooCommerce is a plugin from YITH that changes a customer's WordPress user role automatically, based on what happens in your WooCommerce shop. It is a WooCommerce extension, so it does nothing without WooCommerce installed.
The file on record is version 1.6.6, released in July 2017, which may differ from the version in the title. Check the version inside the package. The listing gives no list of conditions, so read the YITH documentation in the package to see exactly which rules it offers, and test on a staging site with your current WooCommerce first.
Requirements
- WooCommerce
Key features
- Automatic role changes
- Moves a customer to a different user role without manual editing.
- Triggered by shop activity
- Rules are based on WooCommerce events, such as orders.
- Works with role-based pricing and access
- Roles can drive other plugins that depend on user roles.
- YITH settings panel
- Configured from the YITH plugin screens in the admin.
Is it right for you?
A good fit for
- WooCommerce shops that reward repeat customers with a different role
- Stores that give wholesale or member access once a customer has bought something
Look elsewhere if
- Sites without WooCommerce
- Stores that need role changes based on rules the listing doesn't document
How to install YITH Automatic Role Changer for WooCommerce 1.6.6

Notes for this product
- YITH plugins often show a panel of their own in the admin menu. Check the documentation for which rules this older version supports.
Setup: using YITH Automatic Role Changer for WooCommerce 1.6.6
- Activate WooCommerce, then the plugin. The plugin needs WooCommerce to be active.
- Open the YITH settings screen. Find the Role Changer options in the YITH menu.
- Create a role-change rule. Choose the starting role, the condition and the new role.
- Place a test order. Use a test customer account and confirm the role changes as expected.
Common problems and fixes
The customer's role doesn't change after an order
- Why it happens
- The rule triggers on a specific order status, and the test order hasn't reached it.
- How to fix it
- Mark the test order as completed (or the status your rule uses) and check the user's role again.
“The link you followed has expired.” when uploading
- Why it happens
- The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
- How to fix it
- Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/plugins with your host's file manager or SFTP.
“The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.”
- Why it happens
- The uploaded zip is a bundle (or a theme), not the plugin itself.
- How to fix it
- Unzip the download once and upload the inner zip named after the plugin.
“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”
- Why it happens
- Usually a PHP version older than the plugin needs, or a second copy of the same plugin (for example the free version) still active.
- How to fix it
- Check your PHP version under Tools → Site Health → Info, deactivate any other copy of the plugin, and enable WP_DEBUG_LOG to see the exact error.
Licence or “updates unavailable” notices
- Why it happens
- The developer's licence key isn't included. Features that call the developer's servers (template libraries, cloud APIs, automatic updates) need it.
- How to fix it
- Everything that runs locally works without it. For a newer file, use Request an update from your account.
