Hi Vladimir, thanks for getting back to me. What I am not understanding is that I have set these custom roles within my functions.php file like so:

$bbp_roles['bosun'] = array(
'name' => 'Bosun',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);

And also within URE, emulating the participant role.

Moreover these custom forum roles are appearing as options in the Forum Role drop-down list within a user’s profile edit page. Also when viewing all users within WP, there is a Forum Role column, which displays my custom forum roles for each user.

Are you saying that despite creating these custom forum roles, bbpress will never see them as official forum roles and only assigns them ‘participant’, ‘spectator’ etc automatically?

I sussed this out, Vladimir. I added the standard bbpress participant user role to my functions file with the same name as the custom user role created in URE. Now bbpress picks up the correct user role. Thanks for your help!

Actually, one question: is there a general ID of the of those Participant roles I created? I may be able to get the theme developers to swap bbp-author-name with whatever was created by URE, bearing in mind I created six different participant roles.

No, ‘member’ isn’t a primary role, and yes the x-bbp is probably coming from my X theme. Thanks for the prompts – let me now go to the code developers and have a chat with them about this. I’ll get back to you when I’ve heard from them.

Thank you, Vladimir.
