Hi, any way to ask that this thread be deleted or edited?

I’m getting some 404s on my website because of my link to an image file that no longer exists; would like to edit my entries or delete the thread altogether

Maybe I can edit this myself… couldn’t figure out how

Thanks 🙂

Sure here’s a screen capture of my role settings.

Hey Erno,

Keep playing around with the roles in Members… I eventually got it to work after selecting enough privileges for the user role.

[@drewdavid Participant 13 years ago]

Hey to Zofar and others,

Just wanted to let you know that using the members plugin is working out great. That alone would be a useful addition to the documentation!

Of course that would require a dependence on another plugin, but it’s an option.

Thanks again. Got it working.

Hi Zofar,

Thanks for your guidance.

I was hoping to be able to set this without the use of another plugin, but I will use both for now.

…Until the documentation is updated this (hopefully) will be a working solution!

Best Regards,

Drew

I am using a great plugin called “WordPress Access Control” right now and I really like it.

I don’t understand how to assign any particular role to being able to use the forum.

The instructions from this page seem to be outdated:

https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

“In the “WordPress Integration” section of the “Settings” area in your bbPress admin you will find a “User Role Map” where you can set which roles will be applied to users who register on your forums. Users who register on your WordPress blog will have the appropriate role applied to their account when they first login to bbPress.”

I didn’t notice any “User Role Map”, but I could be easily mistaken.

How are these things handled in the current version of bbpress?

This seems like a pretty fundamental thing(?)

Hi again,

…Am I overcomplicating this? Should I just make the default new user a “subscriber”?

Thanks.

EDIT: Subscriber doesn’t seem to work.

Hi,

Thanks John.

Yes doing three private forums on a single website WP installation.

I’d like to create users who can pretty much only access (and post to) the forums as a part of their user privileges.

How would you tackle this?

Thanks again.

Hi again,

Just wondering if I could get a hand here from someone in the know.

Best Regards,

Hi *Bump*

Is my post lacking some information? If anyone could help out it would be much appreciated. The ‘forum participant’ user role doesn’t seem to be able to see my main forum page; it still reacts as though I am not logged in.

Thanks so much for your help.
