I recently noticing a strange thing where users with the “participant” role aren’t able to start new forum topics or reply to existing ones. When I changed the user to moderator, it worked but that’s not a good solution. I tried looking at the capabilities with the “User Role Editor” plugin but I can’t find any bbpress-related capabilities. It seems bbpress uses a different set of roles & capabilities from WordPress. How would I troubleshoot bbpress capabilities and allow them to post to hidden groups?
Has anyone encountered this issue before? It would be really good to have a search feature in this forum in order to see if anyone else had this problem.
