Hello,
I’m trying to rename the current roles as well as ADD new roles. When I add the filter to change the current role name, it doesn’t add the new user role I’ve added. If I remove that code, then the new user role shows up.

This is the code I’m using.

//BBpress Custom Roles // 
function add_new_roles( $bbp_roles )
{
    /* Add a role called tutor */
    $bbp_roles['bbp_lead'] = array(
        'name' => 'Community Lead',
        'capabilities' => custom_capabilities( 'bbp_lead' )
        );
 
    return $bbp_roles;
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_new_roles', 1 );
 
function add_role_caps_filter( $caps, $role )
{
    /* Only filter for roles we are interested in! */
    if( $role == 'bbp_lead' )
        $caps = custom_capabilities( $role );
 
    return $caps;
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'add_role_caps_filter', 10, 2 );
 
function custom_capabilities( $role )
{
    switch ( $role )
    {
 
        /* Capabilities for 'tutor' role */
        case 'bbp_lead':
            return array(
                // Primary caps
                'spectate'              => true,
                'participate'           => true,

The 2nd function assumes that you only have the default roles.

Put this first and it should work ie

//BBpress Rename Roles //
     /* BBPress Renaming Roles */
    add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names' , 1);
    function ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names() {
    return array(
    // Keymaster
    bbp_get_keymaster_role() => array(
    'name' => 'Administrator',
    'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() )
    ),
    // Moderator
    bbp_get_moderator_role() => array(
    'name' => 'Moderator',
    'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_moderator_role() )
    ),
    // Participant
    bbp_get_participant_role() => array(
    'name' => 'Member',
    'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() )
    ),
    // Spectator
    bbp_get_spectator_role() => array(
    'name' => 'Spectator',
    'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_spectator_role() )
    ),

    bbp_get_blocked_role() => array(
    'name' => 'Blocked',
    'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_blocked_role() )

//BBpress Rename Roles End //

Hi @robin-w,

I managed to get this to work with this code
I needed a custom role and I also needed to reorder it in my legend. This code made it work

//BBpress Custom Roles // 
function add_role_caps_filter( $caps, $role )
{
    /* Only filter for roles we are interested in! */
    if( $role == 'bbp_lead' )
        $caps = custom_capabilities( $role );
 
    return $caps;
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'add_role_caps_filter', 10, 2 );
 
function custom_capabilities( $role )
{
    switch ( $role )
    {
 
        /* Capabilities for 'tutor' role */
        case 'bbp_lead':
            return array(
                // Primary caps
                'spectate'              => true,
                'participate'           => true,
                'moderate'              => true,
                'throttle'              => false,
