ok,
so create a file called bbpress-functons.php as above and in to this put
<?php
//code to add tutor role
function add_tutor_role( $bbp_roles )
{
/* Add a role called tutor */
$bbp_roles['bbp_tutor'] = array(
'name' => 'Tutor',
'capabilities' => custom_capabilities( 'bbp_tutor' )
);
return $bbp_roles;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_tutor_role', 1 );
function tutor_role_caps_filter( $caps, $role )
{
/* Only filter for roles we are interested in! */
if( $role == 'bbp_tutor' )
$caps = custom_capabilities( $role );
return $caps;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'tutor_role_caps_filter', 10, 2 );
function custom_capabilities( $role )
{
switch ( $role )
{
/* Capabilities for 'tutor' role */
case 'bbp_tutor':
return array(
// Primary caps
'spectate' => true,
'participate' => true,
'moderate' => false,
'throttle' => false,
'view_trash' => false,
// Forum caps
'publish_forums' => false,
'edit_forums' => false,
'edit_others_forums' => false,
'delete_forums' => false,
'delete_others_forums' => false,
'read_private_forums' => true,
'read_hidden_forums' => false,
// Topic caps
'publish_topics' => true,
'edit_topics' => true,
'edit_others_topics' => false,
'delete_topics' => false,
'delete_others_topics' => false,
'read_private_topics' => true,
// Reply caps
'publish_replies' => true,
'edit_replies' => true,
'edit_others_replies' => false,
'delete_replies' => false,
'delete_others_replies' => false,
'read_private_replies' => true,
// Topic tag caps
'manage_topic_tags' => false,
'edit_topic_tags' => false,
'delete_topic_tags' => false,
'assign_topic_tags' => true,
);
break;
default :
return $role;
}
}
This sets up a role called ‘tutor’ – just change this name everywhere to the one you want, and then edit the capabilities.
the default capabilities for each role are :
https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/
you’ll probably want to make delete topics and delete replies true
