There may be a cleaner solution, but the following worked for me:</p> <p>Try to login to BBPress with the WP admin. If that fails to give admin access to BBPress, the user mappings were either not set, were set at the wrong stage during integration, or were set such that nothing mapped to the Keymaster.</p> <p>Backup the database (just in case a bad situation accidentally becomes terminal while you're trying to fix it).</p> <p>Using SQL access to the database (eg PhpMyAdmin), open up bb_topicmeta and delete the last few lines with meta_key starting <code>wp_</code>. That should reset everything, allowing you to get back into BBPress on the old Keymaster account and start again.</p> <p>I found the order in which the integration settings were applied was critical. Your mileage may vary, but for me that was:</p> <ol> <li>Edit User role map (ensure Admin is linked to Keymaster), and save.</li> <li>Add "wp_" under User database table prefix and save.</li> <li>Hit the User role map button again.</li> <li>Finally complete the cookie setting and save.</li> </ol> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/lost-key-master#post-16613 Thu, 05 Jun 2008 01:25:20 +0000 Gabx82 16613@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I integrated bbPress with WordPress, soooooo, now bbPress is using WordPress database... that means I have no Key Master nor Administrator for bbPress,</p> <p>How can I manually convert my WordPress' admin to a bbPress' Key Master?</p> <p>So I can change bbPress settings and stuff.</p> <p>Please help, thanks! </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/key-master-unable-to-edit-users#post-15404 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 16:39:03 +0000 chrishajer 15404@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Do you have access to any error logs? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/key-master-unable-to-edit-users#post-15399 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 16:14:30 +0000 mikehaynes 15399@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Still no luck with my issue.

It looks like we took some bad advice. There was a post saying to make wpmu and bbpress get along I should add:</p> <p>if ( isset( $bb-&gt;wp_table_prefix ) ){<br /> $bb-&gt;usercookie = ‘wordpressuser’;<br /> $bb-&gt;passcookie = ‘wordpresspass’;<br /> }</p> <p>to the config.php</p> <p>That is the code that was messing things up.

I just tried blowing away the bb_ tables and repeating the install. The problem persists so I agree with your conclusion that the problem lies with the rights in the wp admin role. I will continue to seek an answer and share it when I find it!</p> <p>I am totally comfortable hacking around in the database. I back things up first and can always restore.

I think roles are stored in the usermeta?</p> <p>Unfortunately I personally don't have the time/setup to try to hunt down the exact bug with this right now, but I bet there are plenty of people on those similar threads with experience who can tell you what's wrong.</p> <p><a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/tags/wpmu" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/tags/wpmu</a><br /> <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/tags/keymaster" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/tags/keymaster</a></p> <p>(also unfortunately this is yet another demonstration of bbpress integration weaknesses that must be fixed before it will be widely accepted by existing WP users.

I've tried various things. I found the user metadata. The admin account has the keymaster specification and can get to the dashboard. But it cannot add a forum. I added the magic bits to my own account directly in MySQL and became a keymaster too. I show up in the list of keymasters. But I don't have the right to change a forum either.</p> <p>This is a wpmu and bbpress mashup. It all went fine at install.
