So, really, I have a two-part question. First, I’d like to add some new roles. I’ve read and looked all over the place without any real answer. I know what codes to use per the documentation. That said, I’m not sure which file to place them in and that’s the part I can’t find definitive answers on. If someone could direct me which directory and file to add it to that’d be great. I already know not to do it to the BBpress core files.

Also, is there a way to assign specific moderators to specific boards. Say a user is a moderator, but I don’t want them to moderate all boards, just specific boards. Is that possible?

To answer your 2nd question: “Also, is there a way to assign specific moderators to specific boards. Say a user is a moderator, but I don’t want them to moderate all boards, just specific boards. Is that possible?”

– They have a 9 year old ticket open to add this feature to bbPress.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/459

Looks like it is almost complete. The current plan is release with version 2.6 (current version is 2.59). With such an old ticket, history suggests is could get pushed back to later versions though.

On issue 1

The code goes on then functions file of your child theme

the you can achieve this with my private groups plugin

@gfxcon @adaman I can confirm it’s inside 2.6 (moderators per forum), you can already test the 2.6-alpha if you want that is very stable.
