Add bbPress Forum Role to all members

In my site I have bbPress’ default role set to Participant, but need to apply it to the 2000+ users I imported into s2Member.

In this thread:

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fix-for-users-of-s2member-and-bbpress-2-2/

I found this snippet, which I added to functions.php, but I think this is only for new users:

function my_bbPress_role_map($role_map){
	$role_map['administrator'] = bbp_get_keymaster_role();
	$role_map['s2member_level1'] = bbp_get_participant_role();
	$role_map['s2member_level2'] = bbp_get_participant_role();
	$role_map['s2member_level3'] = bbp_get_participant_role();
	$role_map['s2member_level4'] = bbp_get_participant_role();
	return $role_map;
}
add_filter('bbp_get_user_role_map','my_bbPress_role_map');

How do I give my existing users (who now show -No role for these forums- the Participant role? Without having to do it manually?

You can add the bbPress participant capability to your s2Member Levels with the button here:

Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Other Integrations -› bbPress®

This updates your roles to work with bbPress. Have you already done this?

I just did this, but it didn’t change anything – the Forum Role for my s2Members users (when I look at their profile) is still -No role for these forums-.

If I look at the capabilities, they do correctly show Participate and Spectate for s2Member levels 1-4, but it didn’t affect the existing users.

I see. You might try deactivating then reactivating bbPress then. Past that I’m not really sure what might help here, if that doesn’t help I’ll ask Jason (Lead Developer) what might cause this.

Unfortunately that didn’t help – I deactivated and then reactivated bbPress, but -No role for these forums- is still listed on profiles for all existing users.

Will this prevent them from posting in the forums the first time? If it doesn’t, then I’m okay with leaving this as is. But if it does, it’s critical that I get this changed…

I’m unsure. I would say that this is a definite possibility. I would recommend testing this.

I’m contacting Jason (Lead Developer) about his thoughts on this issue.

In addition, would you mind sending us a Dashboard and FTP login so that Jason can take a look at your Dashboard if needed? You can send that Privately here:

s2Member® » Private Contact Form

Let us know when you do that.

I just submitted the Private contact form with ftp and dashboard access info.

Just as a test, I took a member that had a role of -No role for these forums- and I was able to post in the forum. When I logged back in as Admin their forum role had been changed to Participant. So maybe it’s not an issue? I’d still like for someone to take a look at it though.

Thanks for the info. Waiting on Jason to give some information on this.

Hi.

Any further input on this issue – the site’s getting close to launch and I want to make sure all is okay with the forum roles.

Thanks for your patience.

I’ve run some testing, and it appears that the reason this is happening is only to do with the fact that these members haven’t done anything in your forums yet. I just tested this myself and I was able to work with it flawlessly, but I did notice this issue as well. I will mention this to Jason. I haven’t heard back from him yet, but at this point I think you should be good-to-go for now. If Jason gets back to me with a possible fix I’ll let you know, but I believe this is mostly just a visual bug.

Awesome, thanks very much for looking into it!
