Managing user roles and permissions is essential for controlling access to specific areas of your bbPress forums. Here’s how you can customize user roles with a PHP code snippet:
Add Custom User Roles in bbPress
Use this code to create custom roles for your bbPress forum:
function add_bbpress_custom_roles() {
add_role( 'bbpress_moderator', 'bbPress Moderator', array(
'read' => true,
'edit_posts' => false,
'delete_posts' => false,
));
}
add_action( 'init', 'add_bbpress_custom_roles' );
Modify Permissions for a Custom Role
You can also change permissions for existing roles:
function modify_bbpress_permissions() {
$role = get_role( 'bbpress_moderator' );
$role->add_cap( 'moderate' );
$role->add_cap( 'bbp_moderate' );
}
add_action( 'init', 'modify_bbpress_permissions' );
