I’m trying to find the correct filter to jump in on, and the most logical to me was ‘bbp_get_user_role’ but if I try to return from that filter ‘bbp_blocked’ or false all the time (just as a test before I add my logic), it seems to completely ignore my response and keeps using the user’s standard role as decided by BBPress.

What filter can I use to force my own custom roles (I am looking at a custom piece of user meta data to decipher their ability to use the forums and it needs to be dynamic).

Never mind, after more digging I’ve discovered I seem to be able to do what I need using the following filters:

• bbp_user_can_view_forum
• bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form
• bbp_current_user_can_access_create_reply_form

I found these in includes/users/template.php.

Thought I’d just leave this information here in case other people want to do the same thing
