Can’t give users custom roles.
-
Hello,
Robin i added the tutor code to my functions file.As you can see in this link –> https://prnt.sc/l5mmhh i can see the role while editing users forum role.But the thing is when i try to give the user that Tutor role and save user profile.The forum role of the user is being -No roles for this forums- so i can’t give the custom role. Also i tried the other custom name functions thing.I created a role and gived it participant perms but couldn’t give that role to user too.

ok, when I get a moment I’ll take a look
Thank you, i will be waiting for it.
ok, I presume you meant this code
//code to add tutor role function add_new_roles( $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_new_roles', 1 ); function add_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', 'add_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; } }so with that code loaded to my site, if I go to
dashboard>users>all users and edit a user, I can change them to the tutor role, and back again and it saves.
Can you confirm you are using the above code, and that it does not save if you perform the above ?
Creating a new role
Select “Roles” from the “Settings” menu at the top of the screen (this menu is only available to space administrators).
Find a role in the list that is similar to the role you’d like to create, click “…”, and select “Duplicate role”.
On this new screen you can customize the rules that will apply to users who are assigned this role.Hi robin,
I have the same issue on my site, I added the code as it is but when i give a user the ‘tutor’ role, After saving the role disappears and the user has no bbpress role assigned to them.Even i i signup as a subscriber, If the default role is set to be ‘tutor’ The newly registered user ends up with no bbpress role.
Thanks,
Hi Robin,
I have the same issue as 9march using this code in my functions.php :
/** * BBPress : add new role with custom capabilities * https://codex.bbpress.org/custom-capabilities/ */ //code to add "client" role function add_new_roles( $bbp_roles ) { /* Add a role called tutor */ $bbp_roles['bbp_client'] = array( 'name' => 'Client', 'capabilities' => custom_capabilities( 'bbp_client' ) ); return $bbp_roles; } add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_new_roles', 1 ); function add_role_caps_filter( $caps, $role ) { /* Only filter for roles we are interested in! */ if( $role == 'bbp_client' ) $caps = custom_capabilities( $role ); return $caps; } add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'add_role_caps_filter', 10, 2 ); function custom_capabilities( $role ) { switch ( $role ) { /* Capabilities for 'client' role */ case 'bbp_client': 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' => false, 'edit_topics' => false, '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; } }always ending with “-No roles for this forums-” like the new role for the newly registered user was not saved.

PS : it’s the same when I’m trying with your “tutor” code
Did anyone find a solution to this? I have am having the same issue and am using:
function add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) { $bbp_roles['my_custom_role'] = array( 'name' => 'Bosun', 'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // same capabilities as participants ); return $bbp_roles; } add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_custom_role', 1 );And, for the record, I tried Robin’s code too. This time the user was originally a ‘participant’. When adding Robin’s code and trying to save as my new forum user role, it reverts back to ‘participant’. Caching is turned off.
Good evening (in France, it’s 1:31 am ^^)
Did you find an answer to these problem ? I’ve the same issue too with this “code” :
/* Ajouts de rôles-clone à bbPress*/ function add_revendeur_role( $bbp_roles ) { $bbp_roles['bbp_revendeur'] = array( 'name' => 'Revendeur', 'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) ); return $bbp_roles; } add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_revendeur_role', 1 );I tried a few “codes” found on this forum without success.
Thank you.
I just tried that code on my test site, and I made a user ‘revendeur’ and it worked fine.
Can you describe what is not working – eg role is not showing in users profile, role showing but can’t allocate etc.
Also where are you putting this code?
Hello Robin,
First of all, thank you to answer me !
I putted this code in the functions.php of the child theme.
In fact, I have the same issue as above, since liyacaty : new role is showing in users profile, but I can’t allocate it to one user. If I do it, user have no role displayed (“-No roles for this forums-” displayed in the profile).
Hope it can give you some hints.
hmmm….
so in dashboard>users>edit user the rile shows – yes?
but if you try to change it, when you save and immediately look back at it, what is it set to ?want other profile/bbpress/login related plugins do you have ?
Humm, I post my message but I think it has to much link in it (5) so it must be in “waiting approbation”… sorry.
Yes, the new role shows in “users” and in “edit users” (french grabs ^^) :
http://batteman.free.fr/forum/bbPress1.jpg -> In “users”
http://batteman.free.fr/forum/bbPress2.jpg -> In “edit users”If I choose “revendeur” for this test user, it was like it doesn’t have user role in bbPress http://batteman.free.fr/forum/bbPress3.jpg -> In “edit users”
http://batteman.free.fr/forum/bbPress4.jpg -> In “users”I just notice this, in the “edit users” when I choose “revendeur” :
http://batteman.free.fr/forum/bbPress5.jpg -> bbp_revendeur appears in “others permissions” of my user BatteTest !I installed “Private groups” recently but the problem was already here before I installed it.
I also have “Buddy Press” and “bbPress topic count” and I’m using “graphene theme”.Thank you again.
I just notice this, in the “edit users” when I choose “revendeur” :
http://batteman.free.fr/forum/bbPress5.jpg -> bbp_revendeur appears in “others permissions” of my user BatteTest !where exactly does this appear ?
It’s in “edit user”, under avatar, password and Wordfence login security. If I click on the “modify” link, it shows me “User Role Editor” for this user and you can see the “bbp revendeur” with an X in the right column :
http://batteman.free.fr/forum/bbPress6.jpgso presume you have user role editor as an additional plugin – yes ?
Oups, I forgot it… Yes, I’ve User Role Editor installed.
try deactivating it and see if that fixes – what are you using it for?
With ou without User Role Editor, same result.
I’m not the “original webmaster” of our website, so idk why it was installed.
ok, not sure if I can help further – it works on my test site, so clearly something is amiss.
Role editor may well change stuff in the database, so deactivating may be leaving stuff behind that may not help.
Thx for trying !
Maybe the others admins who had same problems managed to create an other role… If they could tell us what they did.
It’s not a big problem for me, but it would be great if I can do it 😉
