For some reason some users get registered without an assigned forum role, like 50% maybe. When I try to change the forum role of a group of users it does not work, I have to open each user page individually and change it, and that is a PITA when you have hundreds of accounts that need to be changed. Using bbPress 2.5.13 and WordPress 4.8.1, also installed BuddyPress

bbpress default role is only allocated on first user login, so users who register but haven’t yet logged in will show as having no role

A OK that explains it. Thanks.

I came across this same issue and found this thread.

“bbpress default role is only allocated on first user login, so users who register but haven’t yet logged in will show as having no role.”

If this is how it works, how anyone is supposed to know? Naturally you would think you can change user roles by multiple select and assign them a role when they don’t have one yet. Maybe a popup message would help when the admin attempts such action.

thanks for the feedback
