WordPress 4.2.2
bbPress Version 2.5.7
s2Member Pro Framework Version 150311

From Users when using Bulk Actions to change an s2Member Role (from e.g. Free Subscriber to Level 1) bbPress Forum Role changes from e.g. Participant to No Role.

Updating Role 1 User at a time (clicking Username then Edit User) bbPress Forum Role remains Participant. So no problem updating Users 1 at a time.

This is an s2member problem.

BBpress uses the same database meta_key to store both the wordpress and bbpress names. So there are two entries in the wordpress database

so in usermeta the meta-key against a user for wp_capabilities will be set to something like

a:2:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1″;s:13:”bbp_keymaster”;b:1;}

I would suggest that in bulk mode, s2member is just overwriting the whole of this value with the new s2member level, thus deleting the bbpress value.

If you post the above to the s2member support site, they should understand the issue

Thanks much for taking time to post a detailed explanation. I will take it up with s2Member.
