I would also love to know the answer to this question! I checked on the users page with no luck.
Put this code somewhere in your theme functions.php
https://gist.github.com/4086011
Otherwise you can change the roles editing the bbPress gettext file. Check ‘\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\bbp-languages\bbpress.pot’, create a .po for your language (if you already hasn’t one) and change the string “Key Master” at line 3311. If you don’t know what I’m talking about I can generate the file for you.
Zaerl, worked perfectly. Thank you.
For those that want to know exactly what I did:
I edited functions.php in my twentyeleven child theme and added the function he provided via the github link.
After that the role of Key Master now displays as Site Owner.
Thanks Zaerl.
I’m having issues with this using 2.2 of the bbPress. I did edit the line you suggested but I don’t believe that it’s being handled in the same spot in the new release. Any thoughts?
use this plugin, it allows changing bbpress user role names and other bbpress standard text

Thanks Zearl, need to modify your code slightly to get it to work:
Had to remove ‘$user_role’
function my_custom_roles( $role, $user_id ) {
if( $role == ‘Key Master’ )
return ‘Site Owner’;
return $role;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_user_display_role’, ‘my_custom_roles’, 10, 3 );
Hello!
I followed the github recommendations below:
function my_custom_roles( $role, $user_id, $user_role ) {
if( $role == ‘Key Master’ )
return ‘Site Owner’;
return $role;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_user_display_role’, ‘my_custom_roles’, 10, 3 );
And I get this error on my bbpress page:
Warning: Missing argument 3 for my_custom_roles() in /home/belly/public_html/wp-content/themes/kickstart-child/functions.php on line 90
The page does still come up, but this is visible above the author’s avatar.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Sharon
try this code from this link
https://gist.github.com/ntwb/7864894
and rename the ones you want
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names' );
function ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names() {
return array(
// Keymaster
bbp_get_keymaster_role() => array(
'name' => 'My Custom Keymaster Role Name',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() )
),
// Moderator
bbp_get_moderator_role() => array(
'name' => 'My Custom Moderator Role Name',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_moderator_role() )
),
// Participant
bbp_get_participant_role() => array(
'name' => 'My Custom Participant Role Name',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() )
),
// Spectator
bbp_get_spectator_role() => array(
'name' => 'My Custom Spectator Role Name',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_spectator_role() )
),
// Blocked
bbp_get_blocked_role() => array(
'name' => 'My Custom Blocked Role Name',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_blocked_role() )
)
);
}
I’ve updated the filter code to make it work for BBPress 2.5.7+
https://gist.github.com/benklocek/433713bceb83eec6984f
The Keymaster title changed from “Key Master” to “Keymaster” at some point, and the filter only accepts 2 variables now.
I would be hesitant to use @robkk’s code, as it is replacing a core function, instead of simply filtering.
I wanted to change two titles, so I wrote this (had to take the translated strings though, so this fix will fail again when roles are renamed in bbress or our locale):
function my_custom_roles( $role, $user_id ) {
if( $role == 'Teilnehmer' )
return ' ';
return $role;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_user_display_role', 'my_custom_roles', 10, 2 );
function my_custom_roles2( $role, $user_id ) {
if( $role == 'Keymaster' )
return 'Administrator';
return $role;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_user_display_role', 'my_custom_roles2', 10, 2 );
Thanks for the code @benklocek
I created a custom role with this code:
//Custom Role Admin
function add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role1'] = array(
'name' => 'Admin',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as admin
);
return $bbp_roles;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_custom_role', 1 );
and I can’t change the role name with @robkk code. But I did with your code. So I wonder what should I change to apply your code for all other roles, participant, moderator?
Thanks!
I tried couple ways but without success. Ex:
function my_custom_roles( $role, $user_id ) {
if( $role == 'Participant' )
return 'Participante';
return $role;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_user_display_role', 'my_custom_roles', 10, 2 );
Here’s the list of names as set by default: http://hookr.io/functions/bbp_get_dynamic_roles/
You should be able to use:
$roles = bbp_get_dynamic_roles();
$print_r( $roles );
to see what the names of your roles are.
Thanks for the answer @benklocek
I am still looking for the right code, I will post here once I got it 😉
I was thinking what could be the best way…
1.-Create a custom role and then use the name of role to translate it. (I am doing this.)
2.-Give to spectator role the participant´s capabilities and then translate it.
I need two participant roles, with differents name. Just to make more fun the forum style. Just like the ticket about “Add CSS class for user roles in topics and replies”.
Regards,
