Hello,

I added a function in functions.php to add some user roles.

They are now available, but when I set them on a user, their user title on posts only says “Member”, instead of the name I set.

Here’s my code:

function add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {
  $bbp_roles['neophyte'] = array( 
    'name' => 'Neophyte I°',
    'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() )
  );
  $bbp_roles['adept'] = array( 
    'name' => 'Adept II°',
    'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() )
  );

  return $bbp_roles;
}   
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_custom_role', 1 );

How can I get the desired names to actually show up underneath those users?

‘member’ isn’t a bbpress role, so where is this coming from?

[cocreationcoaching]

In BBPress if no role is found, it defaults to Member. I found that much in the code.

I solved it though. It wasn’t working as long as my code was in my theme’s functions.php. I had to actually add it to a custom plugin for it to work. Not sure why this was.

probably plugin execution order
