wpmem_set_user_membership()

// Basic usage of how the function is applied:
wpmem_set_user_membership( $product_meta, $user_id, $date );


/*
 * The practical example below will set a default
 * membership for a user when they register. In this
 * example, it will set access for 'my_basic_membership'.
 * In a real world application, get the slug for the
 * membership you want to set at registration from the
 * Membership > All Products table.
 *
 * The example uses the 'wpmem_post_register_data'
 * action to apply the membership at registration.
 * @see: https://rocketgeek.com/plugins/wp-members/docs/filter-hooks/wpmem_post_register_data/
