I've recently installed wpForo 3.2.2 on a WordPress website using Paid Memberships Pro.
On the Usergroups page, the following groups are listed:
-
Registered — ID 4
-
Guest — ID 6
However, when I click Edit for Registered (ID 4), the editing screen displays Usergroup Name: Guest.
The URL confirms groupid=4.
I've refreshed the page and cleared wpForo's cache, but the problem remains.
I understand that earlier wpForo versions reserved ID 4 for Guest. Could this indicate a usergroup ID or configuration problem in my installation?
I would appreciate advice on resolving this safely without affecting existing WordPress users or membership access.
I haven't made any database changes.
Thank you.
Hi,
By default, wpForo reserves specific IDs for its default usergroups. The Guest usergroup ID is always 4 and cannot be changed through the admin dashboard.
There may be an inconsistency in your database. However, before making any changes, please make a full database backup to avoid potential data loss.
Please access your database through cPanel and check the usergroup records. If any corrections are needed, we recommend proceeding carefully to avoid affecting existing users or their permissions.
