Hey there, so I’ve seen LOADS of posts about this and the code provided to help you create custom roles that do the same as the others.

Only issue is I don’t know HTML I am a total noob at all of this and in NO POST does it state WHERE to put the HTML code?

Custom Capabilities

This was the guide I was trying to follow and it gives me the following code:

unction add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {

$bbp_roles[‘my_custom_role1’] = array(
‘name’ => ‘name 1’,
‘capabilities’ => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles[‘my_custom_role2’] = array(
‘name’ => ‘name 2’,
‘capabilities’ => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles[‘my_custom_role3’] = array(
‘name’ => ‘name 3’,
‘capabilities’ => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() ) // the same capabilities as keymaster
);
return $bbp_roles;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_dynamic_roles’, ‘add_custom_role’, 1 );

Which is fine

except it doesn’t tell me where to put it? Do I just go to Plugins>edit>bbpress/bbpress.php and stick it anywhere in that big massive box of HTML?

the code goes in your functions file

Functions files and child themes – explained !

If you are just after changing the name -then the style pack plugin will let you do this
