Hey there, So i’m 99.99 ready to launch but having an issue with WordPress, BBpress, aMember

New users that signs up can’t add a new topic to the forum, wordpress and bbpress are sharing the same database, I figured out what the issue is, When a new user gets added it doesn’t assign it a role in BBpress i.e. Member, I have to manually set it each time so that the user can post.

I have set the user roles in the BBpress/Wordpress integration area, See > http://helpdock.net/screenshots/c905c801ef699307e0874064f7d379fb.png

But as you can see here the any new users do not get roles and I have to manually change the role, See BBpress user > http://helpdock.net/screenshots/0fd8d331e62c872981a29d2f256e25aa.png

But in wordpress the new member does get a role See > http://helpdock.net/screenshots/e436685a6d598b9178f93b7dfefa322f.png

Any ideas why its BBpress isn’t assigning the user roles so that a user can post a new topic?

[gerikg]

would this work? https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-bbpress-default-role/

[wpJunkie]

Hey gerikg thanks for the help

I uploaded that file and activated it then made a new user but no dice, The user in bbpress didn’t get a role of member.

Any other ideas ?

Are you running any WordPress plugins that affect your registration process?

[wpJunkie]

I am using aMember http://www.amember.com/ that is the membership script users get created in this program when signing up, aMember is set to use subscriber as the default role see > http://helpdock.net/screenshots/456d96758a11f190be049b744a1a1d2d.png

So when the user gets an account in BBpress its is to inactive > http://helpdock.net/screenshots/25466e9bed803fb529b152ff074986e2.png

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

I’m guessing that’s probably interfering with bbPress creating new roles properly then in the user’s meta data. Try deactivating it and seeing registering works or not.

[wpJunkie]

So I disabled aMember and activated the plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-bbpress-default-role/

Signed up for an account on http://example.com/wp-login.php?action=register

And the user got added to the BBpress user list but no role is set, its set to Inactive.

So its not aMember as far as I can tell. its something between WordPress and BBpress

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

That plugin shouldn’t even be necessary. I’m not sure to be honest then, integration isn’t my strong point.

[wpJunkie]

I was thinking of editing a Core file, So I need to locate the file that makes the user a member instead of inactive.

Any one know what file that might be?

[wpJunkie]

Would it be in this file maybe? bb-admin/options-wordpress.php

https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk/bb-admin/options-wordpress.php

Basically I want to make the inactive user to be a member by default.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

I’m afraid options-wordpress.php is just the bbPress/WordPress options page and a bit of code. bbPress functions are under the includes directories.

[batrachoid]

That last plugin hasn’t been updated since January and is only compatible up to wordpress 2.7. It only adds a default role to bbpress, but if you’ve matched your wordpress and bbpress roles, this isn’t necessary, if it ever was.

A plugin should not be necessary in order for someone to register on a wordpress blog or on bbpress. Under the Settings/General you have a place to set the default role for new members; Subscriber, Administrator, Editor, Author, or Contributor for wordpress and those roles can be matched up to bbpress roles under Settings/WordPress Integration.

aMember.com mentions wordpress integration but not bbpress on their site, so I think that might be the issue.

[gerikg]

It’s happening to me. WPMU 2.8.4a+BB 1.0.2+BP 1.0.3 I’m going to try to use

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/user-roles-table-for-bbpress/

I’ll let you know, I have a lot of users so it might take a while…

[gerikg]

I click on Rebuild and it worked.

[gerikg]

I just found this: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wpmu-enable-bbpress-capabilities/

[missfor]

Having the same issues here, saw the plugin on wpmu-enable-bbpree-capabilities but I would wait a little until some one more experienced here would say something.

Basically the issue is that after installation and synch between bbpress and wordpress I see that the new users (except admin) have their roles assigned to Inactive.

Any help please ?

I was trying to figure out where I downloaded this plugin, but the author’s site isn’t really up at the moment.

http://justintadlock.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/inactivetomember.zip

What this does is check if the current user (once logged in) has a role. If he doesn’t, it gives them the default bbPress role.

If anyone can find the original download link, mods, feel free to remove the link to my zip file.

Greenshady – here’s the author of that plugin:

https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/dragly

Here’s where it came from I think:

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1016

I don’t see that it was ever added as a plugin. It’s worthwhile to leave it here I think.

[anaon]

This plugin works great, thanks!!

[adamcap]

This doesn’t seem to be working for me, all users seem to be assigned a default profile from my wordpress sync plugin. They are assessed as anonymous for some reason and given a specific profile from that plugin.

[toddheitner]

@wpJunkie, did you find any kind of resolution? I’m launching a site with a very similar setup, also using aMember. It’s been a challenge. I don’t remember if I’ve tested the ability to post to forums yet. I was wondering if you’re using the latest version of WPMU + BuddyPress (with bbPress built in) or if you were using one of the earlier versions of BuddyPress where bbPress was not built in with it.

[anmari]

For the info of anyone chancing up on this.

wrt The plugin that justin mentions above. After integrating bbpress and wp 3.0.1, i had my existing members showing up in bbpress as inactive. Not: inactive (no role)

I changed the plugin as follows: – added the else line

function inactive_to_member() {



$userID = bb_get_current_user_info( 'id' );

$user_obj = new BP_User( $userID );

$user = bb_get_user( bb_get_user_id( $userID ) );

if(empty($user->capabilities)) {

$user_obj->set_role('member');

}

else if (is_array($user->capabilities) and ($user->capabilities['inactive'])) $user_obj->set_role('member');

}

add_action ('bb_head', 'inactive_to_member', 5, 0);

anmari thank you for contributing that line of code, I’m very thankful I happen to find this. Thank you thank you!

Try this plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members . By using this plugin you can easily create new and existing users rules. You can see some screenshot here.
