Changing Privilages For Member Roles
-
Here's my problem.
To match blog and forum member roles I needed to make forum members with Author privileges on WP, moderators on the forum. This was fine except moderators can see IP addresses and while I have assured them that members cannot, they are a little freaked out thinking everybody can see IP addresses.
Is there a way to change Moderator privileges so that they cannot see IP addresses?
There is a plugin called 'Role Manager' but it does not install, and I could find no help with it on plugin home website, so assume it is dead. ???

Role Manager only works on version 1.0 and up...
_ck_ just wrote a plugin last week that removes the ability for moderators to see IPs anywhere in bbPress:

In bb-includes/functions.bb-capabilities.php
under list of “moderator” roles change
'view_by_ip' => true
to
'view_by_ip' => false

Thanks. I fixed it.
Funny that even while I was looking for a solution I got a note from a member who wanted to know how she could write about a sensitive issue under a different name. I told her to create a different member account. It occurs to me this is exactly the sort of situation where you might want to limit IP viewing to the Admin.

@Ipstenu, I knew there had to be a reason no one else had suggested it. :\
