I’m not sure what is happening here but can’t seem to make a post in this support forum. Here’s my problem again:

I uninstalled bbPress from my blog but found that the additional roles (e.g. Keymaster, Spectator etc) remain. How can I get rid of these additional forum roles now that bbPress has been uninstalled? Thanks

WordPress version: 3.5, bbPress version: 2.2.3

Hi. Same deal, here.
– Uninstalled BB, but roles still showing in db wp_usermeta ‘capabilities’.
Thus, Admin ‘does not have sufficient user permissions’ to use the Dashboard. (Ugg!)
Setting capabilities to:
a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;}
does NOT solve the problem.
How to uninstall these bbpress cabilities?

Hi there,
has anybody a solution for this problem?
If I had known that before, I won’t have tested this plugin…

Thank you for any hints!

At least i found how to remove this annoying roles.

Anywhere in your theme (i put on a custom page template), use this:

$wp_roles = new WP_Roles();
$wp_roles->remove_role("bbp_role");

It was the only way to remove bbp_keymaster and bbp_participant roles that keep appearing even after uninstall bbPress.

Thank you very much, Daniel!
It worked for me – also for the other roles which are visible in the pull down menu for changing a role for an user.

This worked for me. I dropped the code into my functions.php, then removed them when it was done.

Cheers,
Jeff

Mind if I ask, can you please provide more details on how you went about it? Still not working here. Thanks

muyilleum, put those two lines in your theme’s functions.php after <?php. On pressing save, that code will automatically load and remove the roles. You can then remove the lines because they would not serve any further purpose.

Is there no other fix for this?

Stills shows under User Roll

even after this ?

Anywhere in your theme (i put on a custom page template), use this:

$wp_roles = new WP_Roles();
$wp_roles->remove_role("bbp_role");
