I want to separately list all users that have the roles Keymaster, Moderator and a custom role Blogger. How would I be able to do this?

Hi Rourke,

If you just want to list them in the backend, you could use https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-manage-subscriptions/

Thanks Pascal,

I’m actually making a shortcode to format a list of users that have the earlier mentioned roles. This shortcode will be used on a page for the front-end.

It’s basically a list of site staff members.

Ah ok,

Then how about:
$mykeymasters = get_users( array('role' => 'keymaster') );

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_users

But isn’t that for the wordpress roles? Because that returns 0 users.

The roles I’m talking about are the ones you specify at the bottom of a profile page. Forum roles. Apologies if I wasn’t specific enough.

[Pascal Casier]

Euh, yes of course.

Can this help you then ?

$user_query_full = new WP_User_Query( array( 'role' => 'bbp_keymaster' ) );
$user_query = $user_query_full->get_results();
var_dump( $user_query );

Ah! The difference was the bbp_keymaster instead of the keymaster. This worked for me:

$mykeymasters = get_users( array('role' => 'keymaster') );

Thanks Pascal! You really helped me out here 🙂

Glad I was of any help.

Enjoy bbPress !

Oops, I copy/pasted but forgot to edit the line. This is the correct one for anyone else trying to do this in the future:

$mykeymasters = get_users( array('role' => 'bbp_keymaster') );
