Automatically add wordpress user to discourse group

It seems “General” is the default for new Discourse
members OR its being pushed through as an “add to Group” request from Wishlist/WP-Discourse.

My guess is that your team have added some code to your WordPress site that is automatically adding users to the “General” group. There are two different ways that this could be done:

• using the add_user_to_discourse_group function: Manage group membership in Discourse with WP Discourse SSO
• using the wpdc_sso_params filter: Automatically Adding New Users (from WP integration) To A Group - #4 by simon

It’s also possible that your team have renamed the “trust level 0” group to “General”, but that seems unlikely.

@IreneT

We want to change which group the new members are automatically added to, which will be a “temporary” group (Group: Onboarding) that members go into automatically when they first sign up

Assuming that users are currently being added to the “General” group with code that’s been added to your WordPress site, you need to find the code that is causing that to happen, then edit the code to change “General” to “Onboarding”.
