okay so there is only a certain amount of letter it will let me do then? Or maybe I can’t us code …. this is so frustrating cause I’m so stuck ….
Well I guess I’ll as one question at a time … Can I change me Avatar and how …. No option too …
Okay on a more serious note can anyone tell me where I can edit the permissions code for each User Role?
Ok so I’ll simplify this a bit:
My Moderator role will not allow any editing of the Forums but will of Topics and Replies. I am able to see the backend WordPress menu and frontend. I also don’t want it to have access to editing Post or Comments in WordPress pages.
My New Role “Moderator-Fol” I can’t access the backend WordPress menu at all to even see what it will let me do or not do. On the frontend login it will not let me create a forum at all, only allow to create, edit, or delete topics and replies.
My New Role “Participant-Fol” Is able to create topics and I would like to be able to turn this off for now until I figure this all out. It can’t access the site through the back end and that is fine. Other then that I am almost ready to go. I am doing this site as a charity for a Mental Health Support Group so I can’t afford any paid for plugins.
Thank you SO MUCH! in advance.
it will not let me add the website link I think or coding and/or it doesn’t like the fact that I want to explain it in detain you you guys that help don’t have to ask a million question so I don’t wast your time … so i’m trying to explain it in pieces …. this really needs to change … I really feel like dumping the plugin and going to a PHP program like i should have done …
so lets see if it will let me explain the other stuff with out being given an error…
Hi okay so I added 2 more roles by following the link above. The new roles show up and I can choose them in the User’s Profile and almost work with no problem but I am having a few problem. I did not give permission to alter “Posts” or “Comments” for either new role that I created and it is allowing the new roles to change everything about Posts and Comment sections. I did give permission to alter “Forum” in the new role Moderator-FLO but that doesn’t work.
So I checked to see if the regular Moderator role that comes with the plugin allowed for editing of the Forum and it also does not. I don’t know where to go to check the permissions to see if I can change it but I have been searching for the last hour and a half.
I also checked to see if the regular Participant role that comes with the plugin worked like it was suppose to and that one is perfectly fine although I would like to change creating topics temporarily.
In your forum on the link above that I have added I could not find where it says to add the coding, so I just assumed, taking a chance that it would work in the function.php file in my theme. So that is where the coding is located.
Can you tell me where to find the original Moderator permissions that comes with your plugin? Or anything to tell me what I could be doing wrong? These roles are super important to this type of forum and I could use all the help I can get…. This is really my first time working with WordPress but I’ve been doing HTML since 1998 self taught… I have been out of the game awhile.
@celticsweb – ok, let’s see if we can help.
Firstly
Hi okay so I added 2 more roles by following the link above
I appreciate you probably tried to add a link, but it didn’t come through. Without knowing how you did this, it’ll be hard to help further, so come back with that first
ok, found the link in your other post.
Posts and comments are a wordpress thing and controlled by wordpress roles
Forums, topics and replies are a bbopress thing and controlled by bbpress roles
You’ll find wordpress roles at the top of a user edit, and bbpress at the bottom
Dashboard>users>all users>edit user and that’ll get you to the screen
and yes functions.php is where you should put it, but generally in a child theme
Functions files and child themes – explained !
Can I change me Avatar and how
Created this guide awhile ago, just because people keep asking how to do this.

Ya all I care about is the forum roles… This plugin isn’t allowing me to let my moderators, any moderator, create Forums. Sooo Isn’t it supposed to?
The theme I am using is evolve
Okay I downloaded the app https://github.com/johnjamesjacoby/bbp-capabilities
And this will do the trick … Also I was talking about my avatar for this forum … So thank you so much for trying to help my neurotic self… But, hopefully I won’t be coming back cause I have no idea why I can’t type as much asI need to for help… Thanks again!

Moderators are able to create forums, but only on the frontend of your site.
This snippet here should allow moderators to create a forum from their profile, if you wish them too.

Okay I downloaded the plugin bbp-capabilities
This only allows you to edit 1 users capabilities from their profile if I remember correctly.
I have no idea why I can’t type as much asI need to for help
There is a 2 link limit on this site, so going to 3 links puts your post in spam queue. This also includes links in embedded images. So it is 1 link for your site and 1 link for an image per reply.
oh ok, I was putting in the hole code which would have broke the quota … Ya, I will only need to edit Moderator roles … So that plugin will work… Thank you.
