lol
I went to Tools > Forums > Reset Forums, checked the 2 boxes and clicked Reset bbPress.
…I did try disabling and re-enabling the plug-in first, but that didn’t work.
Thanks again!
So I have no clue what was causing this….but, I went ahead and just reset bbPress and viola! Everything is working as it should! lol…wish I knew what caused it, but at least there were not that many posts yet.
Okay…so this is annoying…I decided to test out a theory…I went into the …/core/capabilities.php file and modified the participant role to see private threads and replies and even then, a user with the participant role could not view past the private forum level…wtf?
All I can think of is something, somewhere is overriding the core capabilities…ugh…the question is what and where?
Yea….I did that last night and just did it again…disabling all plugins doesn’t fix the issue and neither did changing the template 🙁
Thanks for your help…i’ll have to keep digging around, not sure what is causing this.
Tried that yesterday and it is still disabled with no changes.
…sorry I can see the forum level, but not the individual topics and replies.
And the fun part is I can get into the topic level…but can’t see any posts and/or replies…

Oh bother! No topics were found here!
2 and 3 are correct, I am not using buddypress groups. Just use it for the profile fields and private messaging.
Its weird…I can change permissions for Posts and Pages and they come through instantly…its just with bbPress that I am noticing issues.
Tomorrow I may just have to remove bbPress and try re-installing it and see what happens. Anyway, I’ll check back here tomorrow first.
Thanks Robin,
I’ve been using Safari to login with my test user and Firefox for admin, but even with clearing cookies and cache I’m seeing no improvements. I went through and disabled plugins one by one and didn’t see any change either…
Could it be something with the theme? I’m using a Twenty Thirteen Child Theme.
Thanks again!
No, I disabled BuddyPress and it was still there…looks like its coming from WPFront User Role Editor, which seems to get rid of that secondary role option. I also tried access the forums again and that didn’t seem to change anything either.
I do have the “Member” role set at the default under Settings > Forum.
One other thing I noticed is to make sure that when editing the user the Secondary Roles would become checked when switching to different roles and I had to make sure that only the one selected under Forum Role was the one selected under Secondary Roles as well…
Otherwise, like for the “board” role, it had Participant checked also along with Board Member and the Board Member roles never seemed to actually apply until I unchecked Participant.
Here is the list of plugins installed and activated…
- bbPress
- bbPress Pencil Unread
- BuddyPress
- Buddypress Xprofile Custom Fields Type
- GD bbPress Attachments
- GD bbPress Tools
- If Menu
- Jetpack by WordPress.com
