I would like to set a conditional check for a user meta value or status and update their user role accordingly. Is this possible? (in a plugin or functions.php)

for example:

if (user_status = pending) {set forum user role to => observer}
OR
if (user_meta field ‘status’ = pending) {set forum user role to => observer}
AND
if (user_status = approved) {set forum user role to => participant}
OR
if (user_meta field ‘status’ = approved) {set forum user role to => participant}

Thanks!

I’d suggest taking a look at the bbPress Repair Tool to remap users forums role as it shows pretty much what you are trying to achieve using bbp_set_user_role

ok good starting point, I’m working out with that but so far no luck.
