I am useing wordpress 2.7 with the beta of bbpress on my site http://s7icky.com and the forums are http://s7icky.com/forums/

I cant figure out how let let the people who are already registered post new stuff in my forums… Any ideas

What version of bbPress did you install?

I used that one sorry about that i think it has something to do with the user roles maybe im not really sure

[chrishajer]

You’ve stumbled onto one of the great mysteries of bbPress and WordPress working together: integration. It’s a work in progress.

[s7icky]

i wouldent think it would be that hard to fix i mean admins can post wouldent that be a simple config error or something… Sooo theres no way to fix this at all?

[John James Jacoby]

Isn’t this what the role mapping in the bbPress Admin panel WordPress Integration page is for? It should map the existing users as you specify according to their preexisting WordPress roles.

[chrishajer]

Is your only issue that people who are already registered on the website cannot post in the forum? The forum does not know they’re a member and are already logged in?

[s7icky]

No it knows there a member it just wont let them post anything on any of the forums. And yes thats what the role mapping area is for but do i really have to give all my members admin ??? so they can post?

What is your role mapping set to right now?

Mine are this:

WP Admin -> BB Keymaster

WP Editor -> BB Moderator

WP Author -> BB Member

WP Contributor -> BB Member

WP Subscriber -> BB Member

lol i think im gonna give up on bbpress my admin worked yesterday now it wont lol and i havent even been on my site… LOL this is really annoying BAAAAAH

Your users do not need to be admin to post in your forums. I created an account in the forums and was able to make a test post. Take a look at the permissions I have there. I did not create an account on the website, just the forums.
