bbPress.org

I want the users to get email alerts every time their forum role changes to a specific role.

Namely, I have to notify them only if their role has changed from Spectator to Participant.

I found a way to do this with standard WordPress roles, but it doesn’t work with bbPress roles.

I tried changing if ($new_role == 'contributor') to if ($new_role == 'participant') and even to this if ($new_role == 'bbp_participant') – nothing worked.

Perhaps someone knows the solution?

WordPress version: 3.8.2
bbPress version: 2.5.3
