The two are integrated with each other. I had a look at the users and roles in WP and noted that bbPress had changed all the roles to the bbPress role types. The WP roles are now all gone. The problem is that no one of my users can login, only the first admin user which I created when installed WP and bbPress. If I change another user from member to admin he cannot login. </p> <p>Can I change back the roles to the default WP roles or do you have any clue what have happened? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cannot-change-users-to-moderators#post-19068 Mon, 08 Sep 2008 04:45:26 +0000 Sevankambel 19068@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I am having this same issue with 0.9.0.2 - I cant change the Key Masters Profile or Change a Member to a different role-- I get invalid Role every time <a href="http://insidethedjbooth.com/djforum" rel="nofollow">http://insidethedjbooth.com/djforum</a> if you need that </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/yet-another-integration-bug-no-role-set-on-registration#post-18914 Thu, 04 Sep 2008 10:51:40 +0000 Sonika 18914@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Detective, thanks a lot!!!<br /> It solved my problem ( wp 2.5.1, bbpress 0.9.0.2)</p> <p>Bo Fiddlesticks, you should save code in <code>set-default-role.php</code> file, put it in bb-plugins and activate<br /> <pre><code>&lt;?php /* Plugin Name: bbpress wpmu default role Plugin URI: <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/yet-another-integration-bug-no-role-set-on-registration?replies=5" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/yet-another-integration-bug-no-role-set-on-registration?replies=5</a> Description: Sets a default WPMU role for all new bbpress users.

I've tried to look into the code, but was not able to figure it out how to do it. hints would be welcomed.</p> <p>another option (the one I'm currently adopting) is removing the register function and putting something like "write to this email address if you want to be registered", then using this plugin to allow administrator to add users:</p> <p><a href="http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/admin-add-user/" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/admin-add-user/</a></p> <p>but this is not how really we want it to be. an example of it is the "candidate" system used in vanilla forum: you candidate yourself to be a member of the forum, and if admin agree then you're in. (why then not using vanilla? because there's a graphic customization people have worked into, and we are running very short on deadline, say the url is in this morning newspaper... :-) ).</p> <p>I'd also be grateful for any other suggestions. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/yet-another-integration-bug-no-role-set-on-registration#post-12847 Sat, 22 Dec 2007 18:07:45 +0000 bedbugger 12847@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>kboan23,<br /> Even if you manually fix the role of users registered in bbpress to "subscriber" the display name field is still blank. So unless I am missing something, you do need to fix this problem. Otherwise, bbpress registrants become subscribers login at wordpress and their username shows as Anonymous. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-ddlb-of-user-roles#post-12171 Fri, 23 Nov 2007 11:00:50 +0000 Null 12171@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>... sorry for asking for help.... thought forums where here for that...</p> <p>I can't program, never said I did, I build things with trial and error, learning that way.
