Is it possible to change user roles based on user post counts? Ie. if a user reaches 50 posts, BBP automatically changes their user role?

I can’t seem to find much but I imagine it would be possible?

This seems to be a good starting point.

Ok, so whilst there doesn’t seem to be a function I can filter that based on the post count, I could potentially run a function that changes someone’s role based on their post count every time they login? That would keep database queries to a minimum and still ensure the update happens fairly regularly.

Any idea what filter or action I can use when a user logs in? Can I just use the wp_login action?

Potentially something like this, although it isn’t working as far as I can tell:

function bbp_change_user_role_login($user) {

$user_id = get_current_user_id($user);
$current_user_role = bbp_get_user_role($user_id);
$new_role_forum_role="bbp_moderator";
$user_post_count = bbp_get_user_post_count( $user_id );

if (($current_user_role = "bbp_participant") and ($user_post_count > 20)) {
bbp_set_user_role( $user_id, $new_forum_role );
}

}
add_action('wp_login', 'bbp_change_user_role_login');

I’d suggest you crack open this plugin which does topic and reply counts

Thanks. Do you know how I can loop through all users in a function? I can’t seem to work it out.

$users= get_users () ;
if ( $users ) :
foreach ( $users as $user ) :
$user_data = get_userdata( $user->ID );
//whatever you want here				
endforeach ;					
endif ;
