Thank you, we just check it and found the issue. Why the answer on this question was negative?

Question:
Do you have a plugin for WP controlling or customizing WordPress user roles?
Answer:
Nope, I don't have anything adjusting that outside of the normal WordPress settings.

You have installed plugin called "WPFront User Role Editor" and the default Usergroup is set Editor. I don't know if you changed WP default user role with this plugin or you installed this plugin to check it . But it's obvious, you've changed the default WP user role and set it Editor:

Editor is the same Moderator. I don't see any reason why you've set this. This is the reason why new users are all Moderators. We just changed it to Subscriber in your WordPress. Please test it again, and keep the default User Role under control.

Thank you. i'm sorry I have no clue. This is not the wpForo we've developed, wpForo doesn't have such bug. Probably you've done something with user system and you don't remember now. Something is 100% wrong here. We could check your website if you send admin login details to supportgvectors.com email address.

It was randomly started doing it the other day. They do have full moderator access.

Are you sure it's not just a phrase issue? Do they have Moderator access? Where can we test it? Do you have a plugin for WP controlling or customizing WordPress user roles?

I have had a wpForum running for about a week now, and everything was going well. However, all of a sudden every new member who joins is automatically given "Moderator". I haven't made any changes to the usergroups or the default WordPress user role since this started happening.

Any ideas why it is doing this?
