 * Hello reader.
 * I used to be able to add users (I’m the admin) but I suddenly can’t add admin-
   users. On another site I still can, so I know how to do that.
 * The only difference is that site has a BB forum installed an hour ago.
    WP and
   all are updated. I have de-activated BB, now I suddenly have 8 or so roles which
   I didn’t have with BB installed. (Logged out/in again earlier as well)
 * Any idea’s before I delete BB?
 * Thanks!
    JP

 * I changed one of my test-ID from editor to keymaster, logged in with another 
   browser and got refused. I then changed the ID’s role back to editor amd it’s
   OK again. But still no administrator role option.

 * Problem 1 detected: Advanced Acces Manager was activated but not configured. 
   When de-activated I could add another administrator. Didn’t really need AAM anymore
   so I’ll delete it. Solved I guess.
    But.. I have re-installed BBpress. When adding
   a user I now have the 5 standard roles but no longer the BB-roles I saw with 
   the plug de-installed. Now this site is in a dutch backend as this is sometimes
   easier for the editors. Maybe that’s causing it.
 * For now I’ll call it solved but I might have to re-open it, so I just change 
   the title for now/ Cheers,JP
