I’m using version 2.6.5. I’m looking at all the subscribers on my WordPress site and wondering what “Participant” means? Are these the folks that signed up to the forum rather than just to comment on my posts? In other words, do people who sign up to the forum get assigned as “Participant?”

Thanks!

bbpress just uses WordPress login.

When a user first logs on without a bbpress role (eg keymaster, moderator, participant spectator or blocked) bbpress looks at

dashboard>settings>forums>roles and if set gives the user that role – yours is almost certainly set to ‘participant’ – so you can switch off or amend that settings as you wish.

participants have then ability to create topics and replies.

Thanks! I’m just trying to separate the forum users from others who have subscribed. So this lets me know that.
