An easy way to allow someone to join a membership is by using WishList Member to create a membership level and then allowing users to sign up for that level. This will automatically assign the membership level to those users when they sign up.
The above option is the typical way to add users to a membership level in order to provide them with access to protected content within the site. With that being said, there is also an option to automatically add users to a membership level when they join a site through a non-WishList Member method. There is a setting within WishList Member you can use that automatically assigns a membership level to anyone who registers as a WordPress user. This can include any method that creates a WordPress user on the site.
Automatically Add WordPress Users to a Membership Level
The setting named “Automatically Add non-WishList Member User Registrations to this Level” can be found in the Setup > Levels > *Click to edit Level* > Registrations section of WishList Member.
The screenshot example below shows the setting enabled for a level named Platinum. In this case, anyone who is registered as a WordPress user on the site will be added to the Platinum level.

In most cases, users will gain access to membership levels by registering using a WishList Member method. But, there are some cases where you may want to add users to a membership level if they join using the WordPress registration option or a 3rd party plugin installed on the site.
If enabled, the “Automatically Add non-WishList Member User Registrations to this Level” setting will automatically add the user to the membership level if they join through a non-WishList Member registration option on the site. This is a quick and easy way to apply a membership level to a WordPress user to provide them with all the benefits available within that particular membership level.
