Hello,
We have a problem with the synchronisation of roles with wp foro groups. We have a moderator group that we associate with a custom role, but users with this role are not added to the user group.
Is there a way of doing this?
Thank you,
Manually Map Custom Roles to wpForo Usergroups
wpForo allows you to map WordPress roles to its usergroups manually:
Go to: Dashboard > Forums > Usergroups
Click Edit on the usergroup you want (e.g., Moderator)
You’ll see a field: “Mapped User Roles”
Select your custom role from the list
Save changes
Note: Your custom role must be registered properly in WordPress using add_role() or a plugin like Members by MemberPress.
Hi,
Thanks for your answer.
This is exactly what I did. I created a role called VI_MODO which I mapped with the Moderator group. I created that role with the Ultimate Member plugin.
It worked at the begining but it's not synchronized when a user is added or removed from the user role.
I also tried to manually synchronized with the button on the overview page, but it doesn't work either.
Thanks,
Please let us know which version of wpForo you are using. Additionally, please provide the contents of your error.log file, if available.
Hello @sofy,
Sorry I ditn't see your answer. I'm using the last version (2.4.8) and it's still not working.
Thanks
