actually i can conform that, once the user logged in from the web the first time, the participant role was assigned. Still not surw why bbp_set_user_role( $user_id, 'bbp_participant' ); didnt work out, maybe the timing issue as you mentioned. Thanks a lot for taking the time to test out the code and helping me out.
