Both buddypress and bbpress installed…

Setting>Forums>Forum User Settings>Auto Role – set to participant

Settings>buddypress>settings>Profile Settings – Enable BuddyPress to WordPress profile syncing

After someone registers they are registered with – Site Role – subscriber and no forum role is designated.

What happens after you have run the repair tool “Remap existing users to default forum roles”

Stephen Edgar,

I just implemented the remapping as you suggested. It worked great!

Will this remapping resolve my future registers?

Thanks for your help.

Another person just registered and no role was assigned for the forum.

How can I resolve this issue so that when people sign up they are given the role of participant automatically?

I also have buddypress on my website, could this be the root of my issue?

Thanks again,

Mr Fox

Hello,
I have WP 3.7.1 installed with bbPress 2.4.1.

When I create a user in frontend the user role is not set.

I need to use repair forum function in order to sync every time I create a user,
WordPress Dashboard -> ‘Tools’ -> ‘Forums’ -> ‘Repair Forums’

I am using the default twenty eleven theme.

Can someone please help me with this?

EDIT;

I have the following set:

Setting>Forums>Forum User Settings>Auto Role – set to participant

And besides my installation of WP and bbpress is new installed.

Is this some kind of bug?

Any help would be appreciated.

Just FYI for anyone else who sees this topic:

The forum role is not actually set until the user logs in for the first time at which time they will then be assigned the role defined in the settings.

Thanks for your reply.

When user logs in the user gets its role automatically.
