Hi

Β 

Out of the blue 120 of my users now have the 'participant' role in Wp - this role is apparently associated with forums.Β  How were they allocated this role and by whom ?Β  Those with the role make no sense to me, some of which have no forum access!

@russ2204,

Read this topic about wpForo Usergroups, Forum Accesses and WordPress User Roles, if it won't help you let us know.

Thanks Chris

Β 

Yes I read this and understand how the UserGroups work - I just don't understand why suddenly I have 120 participants when I have not setup anything to do with participants either in WP or WPForo.

@russ2204,

The problem can be from that you have chosen New User Default Role - Participant in Dashboard > Settings > General because of that all of your new users have been registered as participant.

Or you have changed one or several wpForo Usergroups User Roles from X to Participant, which has changed your 120 users from X User Role to Participant
