Please ignore. I did something and it is working now. The problem is I don’t know what I did.

Please help me with this issue. I have to take the site public this week and I still don’t see a way to get WordPress to assign the forum roles. I have the bbpress forum settings set to: “Auto role: Automatically give registered visitors the participant forum role.”

WordPress is not seeing this. When a new user signs up they just get the WordPress subscriber role and no forum role.

Please help.

Thanks,

Andy

Hi Pascal,

Thanks for answering so quickly. I installed WordPress, then I added my Weaver Xtreme Pro template, and then I added bbPRess.

At this point I am not using any plugins that deal with members’ roles or anything like that. It pretty much plain vanilla settings except for the settings.

I do have the settings set for auto role but it doesn’t appear to be saving the “Participant” role that I preset.

So far we are still in testing mode so we haven’t promoted the site to customers yet. I just noticed that the logins that I was creating didn’t have the forum role specified in the profile.

One of the issues is that someone subscribes to the site, they get the subscriber role in WordPress but that doesn’t automatically give them a forum role. Most of the people that we are dealing with are “low tech” so If they have to log on and give themselves a forum role that will make things difficult for them. Is there a way to automate the process?

Thanks again,

Andy
