So I just installed the latest bbPress 2.2.2 and see that all my users have no role set for the forum so I then proceed to use the remap tool to set them a default of participant. This all worked fine however, it also switched my admin account to participant also instead of keymaster. So my question is how do we apply the keymaster role back to the admin?

From /wp-admin/users.php

– Select each of user or users whose forum role you want to change
– From the ‘Change forum role to…’ dropdown at the top of the page select the new role
– Click ‘Change’

Thanks for the reply however I don’t have such dropdown. The only dropdown I see is the default WordPress role dropdown and not one specific for bbPress.

I ended up just doing it the old fashion way:


$user = new WP_User( 1 );
$user->add_role( 'bbp_keymaster' );

Ooops! My bad. you will see the new ‘Change forum role to…’ feature once WordPress 3.5 is released.

Glad you got it sorted though.
