Hi,
Links to old versions of User Role Editor plugin are available at this page
http://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/developers/
Please let me know, if roll-back helped you or not. I will investigate this problem then.
Regards,
Vladimir.
Thanks, I found the links installed about 3 older versions up to 3.12-1 (wow, that was a big one for some reason) and it still didn’t fix the role problems.
I read a few of your older posts about the bbpress incompatibility (dynamic roles, ect.) and hit “reset” with each install but I still have new registered users that are not automatically linked as participants.
This is REALLY frustrating! From user’s point of view when I have the box checked in bbpress (to automatically assign a new user as a participant) the dang thing should DO IT!
I’ve also un-installed and re-installed bbpress, manually replaced wordpress core files. Nothing seems to work!
Let me skip down and try to install 3.8 (before you stopped roughandling bbpress user roles) and I’ll let you know how it goes.
Ciao,

Success! I installed 3.8 – where you still handled bbpress fields with brute force. I backed-up mysql database (just in case) and hit re-set. I got some kind of warning and hit ok.
New registrations (role: subscriber) can now use bbpress (role: participant), too!
Ciao,

I just want to warn anyone reading this who does the same thing that the default participant role assigned when you hit “reset” gives a forum participant ALL rights (modify forums, etc.). You want to go in there, unselect all, and only give them reading, an check only the following abilities:
read_private_forums
publish_topics
edit_topics
publish_replies
edit_replies
assign_topic_tags
spectate
participate

Thanks for your tests and information.
When you hit ‘Reset’ User Role Editor do not execute a line of each own. It executes the WordPress core code, which is used to create roles during WordPress installation. So ‘participant’ could not get full capabilities through it.
The subject with bbPress should be investigated in depth. I made the special note for that.
Whew! Good to know I didn’t temporarily give Spectators the ability to delete forums.
Thanks for providing the only tool that fixes this problem and your commitment to improve it!!
Ciao,
