    Hi there,

    just to be sure and not doing something wrong,

    there is a guideline for users roles?

    for example, a Moderator, has to be always an Editor, or could be a normal subscriber?

    we don’t want to mess around. Maybe if we have an Editor and we change the bbpress role we can override something.

    what do you suggest?

    we just need this kind of users

     

    Administrator = keymaster

    Editor = moderator (in soma cases this may split in two: only Editor or only Moderator)

    normal user = subscriber

     

    Another question, I’ve found some articles online to how to change Admin or Moderator color in the forum, but we prefer to ask you first if there is an official way in your theme. you know something visual to quickly understand that is a moderator or administrator reply.

    Hello, bbpress roles are independent so it shouldn’t change any normal role. You can test it with a test user 🙂

    Hello, you do not need to select a WordPress role, they are independent, not related, bbpress roles only affect forums

    Ok, thanks for the kind reply. I’ve seen that some moderators have also a wp account and I don’t want to mess around. If there is something to change before promote a user as moderators, that’s my question.

    Hi,

    You do not need to change the WordPress role when changing the bbPress role. A bbPress moderator can be a standard WordPress user (subscriber), editor (Editor), admin (Administrator) or any other WordPress role.

    The two different roles are completely independent of each other and allow you to have forum moderators that are not privileged within WordPress and therefore cannot effect anything else on the back-end of the site.
