Forum rol in bbPress

[robertj_w]

Is it possible to set bbPress “Forum role” in a user profile to e.g. participant? How?
And do I need to use field nemes as in the data base like “user_email” or just “Email”?

Yes.

At first, export existing user data and check “wp_capabilities” column.
Then, add “wp_capabilities” column to your CSV data.
Don’t write “role” column in this CSV.

If you import this CSV, both Role and Forum Role will be set.

Great. Thank you so much. Can you also advise me how to handle the “Forum role”, if possible?

@robertj_w,

What is forum_role? This is another role different to the WordPress role?

[windowmoon]

Forum Role is additional role provided by bbPress plugin.

In “wp_capabilities” column of exported CSV, you can see cell value as below.

“a:2:{s:13:””administrator””;b:1;s:13:””bbp_keymaster””;b:1;}”

This includes both WordPress Role and Forum Role.
Because writing and parsing this is difficult, I recommend you to make temporary users having target WordPress Role and Forum Role and to get configuration by exporting the temporary users to CSV.
