I’m not sure how to do that.

[@scabbrox Participant 4 years, 7 months ago]

I should point out the bbp-style pack is used to modify display names and other display tweaks as the site was originally set up with this plugin by someone else.

If I disable it I get a fatal error on bbpress forums so I’ve kind of had to live with it despite not being entirely convinced it’s not more trouble than it’s worth.

Not sure how to easily get a list, but this is what’s in my plugins folder:

[@scabbrox Participant 4 years, 7 months ago]

Just as a query as it might be faster than manually fixing all the flags of old roles from each member but if I use the remap all users to default roles will this clear the database of all the flags in one go?

I guess, it it safe is what I am asking, don’t want to inadvertently lose keymaster rights and be stuck.

[@scabbrox Participant 4 years, 7 months ago]

OK… I seem to have found a solution, it’s not elegant but no idea how else to fix it.

As I said in my post withe the links the roles are still there, just not listed in the roles section. You can pull down the menu and select the role, but it fails and trying to edit its capabilities only takes you the capabilities for the new standard role they have.

However, if I clone a standard bbp role of the same type or create a new role called the same as one of the old roles e.g bbp_council_member. It adds the role with a warning that the role is not editable as created by another plugin (in this case my functions.php file) but doing this puts it back in the list and automatically reassigns all the previous users to that role.

It dumps moderator into other roles (but not as a forum role) so I need to flag back to moderator for forum and then again to the new custom role to get rid of it, but it works.

Very strange really, no idea why this should happen simply because I took away one file from the single_loop_reply for the child theme.

[@scabbrox Participant 4 years, 7 months ago]

put in a reply with some links to imgur images and explanations but it’s seemingly gone to moderation approval due to the links.

Have a look if you find it there, if not I’ll re-write it without working links.

[@scabbrox Participant 4 years, 7 months ago]

Have sorted it for now by using default roles to give people access but would like the custom roles to be working again if possible.

[@scabbrox Participant 4 years, 7 months ago]

The following is still in my functions.php file but whilst the custom roles show up under the “forum role” pull-down menu in the user profile, they cannot be saved and do not show under the Member roles list as ‘bbp_specialrolename’ versions, just as simple use roles (we have always had some duplicates for forum and non forum roles).

[@scabbrox Participant 4 years, 7 months ago]

Hello again and sorry to necro my previous thread but the issue is I feel linked and so the history is perhaps useful.

Today I was trying to fix a persistent issue I have with BBpress where bullets and numerical lists will not show up in posts and some searching around led me to some posts where they suggested that some .css might be to blame with the lists function being disabled.

Looking around for the issue in my child theme I happened upon a bbpspress css file added called ‘loop single reply’ and decided to delete it temporarily to see if this was to blame.

I downloaded a copy and did not delete the one in file-manager so I could restore if needed.

Once I did it however it broken my special forum roles above and everybody except keymasters and spectators (the only standard roles I use) lost their forum roles.

Even after restoring the file, going into users and role editors the roles are all there, but I cannot reassign them, I can only assign standard forum roles.

The function.php file with role additions is the same as above, but these do not seem to be forum roles anymore, just user roles.

Before I revert the entire site to a previous day’s back-up and lose the applications and activity we have has since last night I thought I’d check here.

Many thanks in advance for your help and this definitely teaches me to always me to do a back-up before playing with files, no matter how trivial they may appear.

[@scabbrox Participant 5 years ago]

The only reason I can think of is that before the extra ranks were part of BBPress.php file and now they are in the child themes functions.php instead so maybe it’s not loading these roles in time?

[@scabbrox Participant 5 years ago]

Seems it works even without a role so looks like it’s sorted. Will let you know if it recurs. Thanks again.

[@scabbrox Participant 5 years ago]

Hi and thanks for the quick reply.

It is indeed set to do that, it always has been in the past to allow new applicants the ability to see areas of the forum that are public and make an application to join.

The difference is now it’s adding it also to anyone who also has a role assigned manually.

I can try turning it off but am concerned this may impact the ability of genuine Spectators (potential applicants and former members) to make applications and see the public forums.

I’ll test it and get back to you if needed.

[@scabbrox Participant 5 years ago]

Hello again Robin

Sorry to bother you again but I seem to have a persistent issue that I thought I’d cleared but keeps coming back.

I’ve noticed that despite now having all my additional forum roles back, assigned and active that each time a user relogs it adds Spectator to their user roles (this is a forum not user role so it should not do that) whilst not changing their forum role.

The only way to fix this is to change their forum role back to Spectator and then change it once more to Member/Moderator etc, but this doesn’t stick for good as check back in a day or two and they’ve got Spectator listed as a user role again.

This creates issues with permissions on the site as Spectators can’t see a lot of the content.

Wondering if you have any idea why it might be adding this role back?

[@scabbrox Participant 5 years, 1 month ago]

Worked great, thanks!

[@scabbrox Participant 5 years, 1 month ago]

Thanks for that.

Just to be sure is there anything I need to add between the end of the current functions.php in my child theme and the above paste?

It currently ends like this:

// usp pro replace underscores with spaces
function usp_pro_modify_field_value($value) {

I think I may have found it….

It’s in the bbpress.php file (of the pre-update version). Is this it?

Hi there and thanks for the reply.

The trouble is I’m not entirely sure how we did it as it was a while ago and the person that did it is no longer with us.

I’m not seeing anything in functions.php which is where I understand that code is normally put for this so I’m assuming it’s in the capabilities.php file that the update is overriding as this does refer to treating wp_roles as bbpress roles.

I can send a copy of the capabilities file (not seeing an upload button) or perhaps you can give me an idea where else to look?

Sorry to be so vague, but it works fine with the previous version of bbpress so I’m guessing it’s something that gets overwritten when I update.

The roles were created by clicking duplicate on a bbpress role and then changing the name, but if I try that now it just created a wp-role and not a forum role.
