I'm using wordpress with woocommerce, and I would like to automate the following step. When an order is completed, I would like to change the user role associated with that order id from 'customer' to 'subscriber'.
By searching around, I think I should be able to accomplish this by using a hook in functions.php:
add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_completed', 'change_role_from_customer_to_subscriber' );
Then add the function:
function change_role_from_customer_to_subscriber($order_id){
// code to change role to subscriber
}
In the code, I think I need to do 2 things:
1) get the user id that is associated with that order id
2) change role of that user id to subscriber
I've tried a lot, but I couldn't get it to work (neither getting the right user id, nor changing the role of a user id). So any help would be appreciated! I've seen 2 related questions asked before on stack overflow, but unfortunately the answers there did not work for me. I hope someone can help me out!
Thanks a lot! :)

Helgatheviking from wordpress answers came up with this piece of code:
function wpa_120656_convert_paying_customer( $order_id ) {
$order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
if ( $order->user_id > 0 ) {
update_user_meta( $order->user_id, 'paying_customer', 1 );
$user = new WP_User( $order->user_id );
// Remove role
$user->remove_role( 'customer' );
// Add role
$user->add_role( 'subscriber' );
}
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_completed', 'wpa_120656_convert_paying_customer' );
For some unknown reason it took several tries, but it worked! Thanks everyone for the help! :)

You could do the following:
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$user_data = array(
'ID' => $current_user->ID,
'role' => 'New Role Here'
);
wp_update_user( $user_data );
Add this to your above function, and it will do the trick.
