I’m trying to limit the permissions to assign topic tags to just ‘keymasters’ through the bbp_get_caps_for_role filter.

This is working, participants can’t see or edit the tag input field

if ( $role == ‘bbp_participant’ ) {
$caps[‘assign_topic_tags’] = false;
}

but the moderator level is ignored and not working:

if ( $role == ‘bbp_moderator’ ) {
$caps[‘assign_topic_tags’] = false;
}

I’m a newbie to wordpress development & php. Any insight or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

This is my code, fwiw. I don’t want any role but keymasters to add tags. Participant level is working as expected i.e *not* showing but the moderator level is still showing the tag field.

add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'my_bbp_role_caps', 10, 2 );
 
function my_bbp_role_caps( $caps, $role ) {
   if ( $role == 'bbp_participant' ) {
      $caps['assign_topic_tags'] = false;
   }
   if ( $role == 'bbp_moderator' ) {
      $caps['assign_topic_tags'] = false;
   }
   return $caps;
}
