Reply To: Participant forum role can no longer post
I added a few user capabilities plugins to edit roles but none have done the trick.
This likely did more harm than good.
Try installing the following plugin (by me) which provides a nice user-interface for identifying where your bbPress roles and capabilities have gone wrong:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-capabilities/
This plugin was originally a hidden tool tucked into bbPress, but was extracted into a plugin once we went with dynamic role registration.
The thing with bbPress roles, is that they work amazingly well for the large majority of installations. For the very small minority that want to deeply integrate it with other plugins or services, it works a bit differently than WordPress’s native roles and capabilities (for the better, to be frank) which requires a bit of special handling.
