This does not have anything to do with the role maps in bbPress. Those role maps only affect users that are registered within bbPress that need to have capabilities inside WordPress. I think you are having the same problem that I had - you need to go the other direction. You need a default capability in bbPress for a new user registration in WPMU. There are two ways to do this: 1) go to your bbPress admin panel, drill into each new user that was registered in WordPress, edit their profile, and assign them a 'User Type' 2) use my shiny new Wordpress plugin that creates a default capability of 'member' in bbPress for users that are registered in WordPress <a href="http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wpmu-enable-bbpress-capabilities/">http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wpmu-enable-bbpress-capabilities/</a> I would be interested in any feedback you have. There are two caveats to this plugin: 1) it does not handle any users registered in WordPress that existed before the plugin was activated, you'll have to do that manually (but you get the idea and could handle this with a mass SQL) 2) there is no logic to determine which bbPress User Type to use, I just start with 'member' and assume that I'll manually set admins/moderators, and further that everyone with a login should be able to post. Let me know what you think! ctsttom on "WPMU 2.6 + bbPress 1.0 alpha - Keymaster issue" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wpmu-26-bbpress-10-alpha-keymaster-issue#post-20136 Wed, 22 Oct 2008 21:44:45 +0000 ctsttom 20136@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Please, can some one help, this is still not working and no one seems to be helping I have no idea what to do or who to ask but here as its the bbpress code that is at fault. ctsttom on "WPMU 2.6 + bbPress 1.0 alpha - Keymaster issue" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wpmu-26-bbpress-10-alpha-keymaster-issue#post-19996 Fri, 17 Oct 2008 13:31:21 +0000 ctsttom 19996@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I have investigated some more it seems that new users of mu which own blogs get assigned as inactive on bbpress, dispite the role map being set to give them member level or higher for all levels on the role map.

I can log in an post with one admin user. This user can post both on WP and BBP. If I add another user. It can semi login to WP but not to BBP. If I change this user to an admin nothing happens, the user cannot do anything more than before. ctsttom on "WPMU 2.6 + bbPress 1.0 alpha - Keymaster issue" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wpmu-26-bbpress-10-alpha-keymaster-issue#post-19042 Sun, 07 Sep 2008 13:32:53 +0000 ctsttom 19042@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I see.

If you have users spread across two tables you will never get them to both be able to login. You need to just use the WordPress user table and migrate any users from the bbPress user table across to it (don't forget the meta as well. First just try to get using one set of user data happening. Then try to tackle single login. ctsttom on "WPMU 2.6 + bbPress 1.0 alpha - Keymaster issue" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wpmu-26-bbpress-10-alpha-keymaster-issue#post-18842 Mon, 01 Sep 2008 15:44:22 +0000 ctsttom 18842@http://bbpress.org/forums/ This is the wp_role_map option from my bb_meta.... a:5:{s:13:"administrator";s:9:"keymaster";s:6:"editor";s:6:"member";s:6:"author";s:6:"member";s:11:"contributor";s:6:"member";s:10:"subscriber";s:6:"member";} ctsttom on "WPMU 2.6 + bbPress 1.0 alpha - Keymaster issue" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wpmu-26-bbpress-10-alpha-keymaster-issue#post-18841 Mon, 01 Sep 2008 15:25:15 +0000 ctsttom 18841@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Please can any one help? budaya on "Avatar Upload Problems" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/avatar-upload-problems#post-18767 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 22:36:11 +0000 budaya 18767@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Hi i suppose to have evrythihng working fine the avatars folder is root, also the url in admin settings points there, and i have permissions to write in tha folder(755), but still get the message(The file could not be saved to the avatars/ folder.) i also took away the @ at avatar-upload.php before the move_uploaded_file to see teh errors but don't get any. please help. ctsttom on "WPMU 2.6 + bbPress 1.0 alpha - Keymaster issue" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wpmu-26-bbpress-10-alpha-keymaster-issue#post-18740 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 12:26:07 +0000 ctsttom 18740@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I am trying to integrate WPMU 2.6 and bbPress 1.0, it will let Wordpress users login but the privileges don't work, I end up having to delete the wordpress integration setting for table prefix to get the old bbpress users to work. citizenkeith on "A few questions" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/a-few-questions#post-18114 Sun, 10 Aug 2008 14:40:37 +0000 citizenkeith 18114@http://bbpress.org/forums/ The info in this thread worked for me: <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/successful-convert-smf-gt-phpbb2-gt-bbpress" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/successful-convert-smf-gt-phpbb2-gt-bbpress</a> chrishajer on "A few questions" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/a-few-questions#post-18091 Sat, 09 Aug 2008 18:12:41 +0000 chrishajer 18091@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Many people have posted about phpBB.

As I'm pretty familiar with WordPress I thought this might be a good option, but I wanted to double check and ask a couple questions: 1) Can bbPress import my phpbb database? What info am I liable to lose? 2) My forum has a public section, a private section, and a superprivate section for admins and such. Does bbpress support this sort of thing? We govern who can go where with groups and permissions in phpbb, but I'm concerned that it wouldn't translate.

Then they should be able to access it. You don't even need to keep the plugin running after that, it can be deactivated/deleted until you want to take away the ability. citizenkeith on "Administrator Recount" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/administrator-recount#post-17431 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 02:42:47 +0000 citizenkeith 17431@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Is there a way to allow an administrator to access Recount in the Admin panel? hans3 on "Original Keymaster lost privileges to create Forums" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/origianl-keymaster-lost-privlages-to-create-forums#post-13846 Thu, 14 Feb 2008 23:54:31 +0000 hans3 13846@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Display Name was the issue.

The following error message is displayed. "You don't have permission to do that." I created a new user and bumped it up to Keymaster and it does have the ability to create new forums. With some guidance from _ck_ I went into phpmyadmin and compared the bb_capabilities between the two users. There was a slight difference (which I stupidly didn't record), so I copied the capabilities from the new keymaster and pasted them in place of the old keymasters capabilities. Unfortunately this did not resolve the problem. Both keymasters have identical usermeta now, and its still not working. I have bbpress integrated with Wordpress, so the user data is shared between the two systems. Any ideas?
