Hi,

I’m running WP 3.8 with BuddyPress 1.9 and bbPress 2.5.1.

I’m writing my own theme and I want to create a new WP user role, “Special Admin” which is a normal admin user but with restrictions that I’ve manually applied in my theme functions.php.

What I now need to do is to give that user the KeyMaster rights for bbPress, but I can’t see how to do that.

My site actually comprises 3 themes, and this user will use all 3, so to avoid code repetition I’m setting up the rights in a bespoke plugin I’m writing.

I thought from reading the bbPress source that I could use the filter bbp_get_user_role_map to add. Here’s the code I’m trying:

// Give the Special Administrator the Keymaster capabilities.

add_filter('bbp_get_user_role_map', 'add_keymaster_to_special_administrator');

function add_keymaster_to_special_administrator($role_map){
    $role_map['special_administrator'] = bbp_get_keymaster_role();

    return $role_map;
}

The problem is that the filter is never processed – I’ve thrown a die in there to check and it’s not being executed.

Can anyone tell me what I’m missing?
