I just discovered something and wanted to run it by the forum. I agree…when I registered in bbPress and then logged into WordPress as the administrator, that new registrant was not given a role.

However, after I actually logged on as the new person and then logged BACK on as the administrator to see what was what…the person’s role was actually changed to “Subscriber” – my default role in WordPress.

So, if this is true, and I’m not missing something that could catch me up…it seems that this whole issue might be mute. Once the user actually logs in, their role is set as the default role so their rights are restricted by that role.

Has anyone else experienced this? Am I perhaps missing something that I’m really going to regret if I don’t fix this?

Thanks,

Two things:

I DO have my bbPress folder running inside my WordPress folder. You’re thinking this is a bad idea??? Any suggestions as to why? I thought I read on here that it wasn’t a bad idea to this. I probably read wrong though……

Second — if my bbPress IS actually inside my WordPress folder, any other ideas why I’m getting the error message?

I guess one more (sorry)…if you’re forcing all registration links to go to WordPress, where does this process take your users after they register? Back to bbPress? To WordPress? That might work…but for my site, I’d need it to go back to bbPress; I’m dealing with a lot non-techies and any weirdness will throw them for sure. I need to try and make it as easy as possible for them.

Thanks again for any help,

I’m trying to create this plugin. When I try to register using bbPress, I get this error message…

Fatal error: Class ‘WP_User’ not found in /home/sbisdedt/public_html/web20/forum/my-plugins/default-role.php on line 11

The registration actually takes place; the person receives the email with the password; their registration shows up in both WordPress and bbPress.

But how do I stop that error message from appearing. What could I have possibly done wrong.

Thanks for your help.

Thank you for your response. I had actually already read that page and followed the steps. As it turns out, the issue was that when viewing the site on a MAC in Firefox, the login/site admin link always reverted back to login in WordPress; and even though I was logged in, in bbpress it always asked me to log in again. It did this when I jumped back and forth between the two sites.

As it turns out, I was actually always logged in…the links just didn’t toggle to the correct position. When i looked at the site on IE using a PC, the links did as expected. I guess the first time IE out performed Firefox…or it may have been the difference between viewing on a MAC versus PC. I don’t know.

I’m not going to worry about it. 99% of the people viewing the site will be viewing it in IE (work related forum).

Thanks again,

K
