How can I check what role the user has using PHP? I want the index page of my forums to say one thing if the users are of a certain role, and another if they are of another role (a prompt to upgrade their account to see the rest of the forums). How would I do this?

You can get the displayed user role (eg “Participant”, “Keymaster” etc) of the current user using bbp_get_user_display_role( get_current_user_id() ) although you’d need to check if they were logged in first. The template to modify is content-archive-forum.php.
