ok, when I get a moment I’ll take a look

ok, I presume you meant this code

//code to add tutor role 
 
function add_new_roles( $bbp_roles )
{
    /* Add a role called tutor */
    $bbp_roles['bbp_tutor'] = array(
        'name' => 'Tutor',
        'capabilities' => custom_capabilities( 'bbp_tutor' )
        );
 
    return $bbp_roles;
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_new_roles', 1 );
 
function add_role_caps_filter( $caps, $role )
{
    /* Only filter for roles we are interested in! */
    if( $role == 'bbp_tutor' )
        $caps = custom_capabilities( $role );
 
    return $caps;
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'add_role_caps_filter', 10, 2 );
 
function custom_capabilities( $role )
{
    switch ( $role )
    {
 
        /* Capabilities for 'tutor' role */
        case 'bbp_tutor':
            return array(
                // Primary caps
                'spectate'              => true,
                'participate'           => true,
                'moderate'              => false,
                'throttle'              => false,
                'view_trash'            => false,
 
                // Forum caps
                'publish_forums'        => false,
                'edit_forums'           => false,
                'edit_others_forums'    => false,
                'delete_forums'         => false,
                'delete_others_forums'  => false,
                'read_private_forums'   => true,
                'read_hidden_forums'    => false,
 
                // Topic caps
                'publish_topics'        => true,
                'edit_topics'           => true,
                'edit_others_topics'    => false,
                'delete_topics'         => false,
                'delete_others_topics'  => false,
                'read_private_topics'   => true,
 
                // Reply caps
                'publish_replies'       => true,
                'edit_replies'          => true,
                'edit_others_replies'   => false,
                'delete_replies'        => false,
                'delete_others_replies' => false,
                'read_private_replies'  => true,
 
                // Topic tag caps
                'manage_topic_tags'     => false,
                'edit_topic_tags'       => false,
                'delete_topic_tags'     => false,
                'assign_topic_tags'     => true,
            );
 
            break;
 
        default :
            return $role;
    }
}

so with that code loaded to my site, if I go to

dashboard>users>all users and edit a user, I can change them to the tutor role, and back again and it saves.

Can you confirm you are using the above code, and that it does not save if you perform the above ?

Hi robin,

I have the same issue on my site, I added the code as it is but when i give a user the ‘tutor’ role, After saving the role disappears and the user has no bbpress role assigned to them.Even i i signup as a subscriber, If the default role is set to be ‘tutor’ The newly registered user ends up with no bbpress role.

Thanks,

PS : it’s the same when I’m trying with your “tutor” code

And, for the record, I tried Robin’s code too. This time the user was originally a ‘participant’. When adding Robin’s code and trying to save as my new forum user role, it reverts back to ‘participant’. Caching is turned off.

I just tried that code on my test site, and I made a user ‘revendeur’ and it worked fine.

Can you describe what is not working – eg role is not showing in users profile, role showing but can’t allocate etc.

Also where are you putting this code?

hmmm….

so in dashboard>users>edit user the rile shows – yes?
but if you try to change it, when you save and immediately look back at it, what is it set to ?

want other profile/bbpress/login related plugins do you have ?

Yes, the new role shows in “users” and in “edit users” (french grabs ^^) :
http://batteman.free.fr/forum/bbPress1.jpg -> In “users”
http://batteman.free.fr/forum/bbPress2.jpg -> In “edit users”

If I choose “revendeur” for this test user, it was like it doesn’t have user role in bbPress http://batteman.free.fr/forum/bbPress3.jpg -> In “edit users”
http://batteman.free.fr/forum/bbPress4.jpg -> In “users”

I just notice this, in the “edit users” when I choose “revendeur” :
http://batteman.free.fr/forum/bbPress5.jpg -> bbp_revendeur appears in “others permissions” of my user BatteTest !

I installed “Private groups” recently but the problem was already here before I installed it.
I also have “Buddy Press” and “bbPress topic count” and I’m using “graphene theme”.

Thank you again.

It’s in “edit user”, under avatar, password and Wordfence login security. If I click on the “modify” link, it shows me “User Role Editor” for this user and you can see the “bbp revendeur” with an X in the right column :
http://batteman.free.fr/forum/bbPress6.jpg

Oups, I forgot it… Yes, I’ve User Role Editor installed.

With ou without User Role Editor, same result.

I’m not the “original webmaster” of our website, so idk why it was installed.

Thx for trying !

Maybe the others admins who had same problems managed to create an other role… If they could tell us what they did.

It’s not a big problem for me, but it would be great if I can do it 😉
