Hi I was wondering if anyone can help me please.

I have set up a private forum on our work-hosted instance which is running wordpress 4.5.3 and bbpress 2.5.10 and am manually adding forum users.

Until recently I was able to assign forum roles via the Users > All Users menu on left hand side. However, now when I select a forum member and select a forum role from the drop down top menu and press apply the forum role column remains the same.

This error happens when I try to edit an existing forum user e.g. to alter them from participant to moderator after hitting and also when I am manually trying to assign forum roles to new members.

As such I am unable to manage any of the forum user roles now. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Does it work if you use the dropdown from the bottom of the list instead?

It should, theres a bug with thats been fixed for this in the next bbPress release 🙂

Thank you so much for your help, that worked. I hadn’t even noticed the role bars at the bottom!

Excellent, glad that worked.

The full details and code for bbPress’ fix is here if that kind of thing interests you 🙂
