When a user goes to the thread, it says “You cannot post here” The way around this is to join the group. How can I remove this requirement?

2. How do I assign a different role to a user for example giving someone moderation roles? (Buddypress)

Thanks all!

I think this question belongs at BuddyPress – but for one you always need to join groups to be part of them, the Groups functionality is completely different from Forums and Topcis.

Groups are more based on a social layer. Try searching for: BuddyPress auto. join group I believe there is a plugin that does something like that.

2, You can change them in your WordPress admin / Users profile there is a select menu where you can change the Role of a user.
