bbp_make_current_user_keymaster()

Hooked to the ‘bbp_activate’ action, this helper function automatically makes the current user a Key Master in the forums if they just activated Forums, regardless of the bbp_allow_global_access() setting.

Description

(If) user can't activate plugins or is already a keymaster

File: bp-forums/core/update.php

function bbp_make_current_user_keymaster() {
 
    // Bail if the current user can't activate plugins since previous pageload
    if ( ! current_user_can( 'activate_plugins' ) ) {
        return;
    }
 
    // Get the current user ID
    $user_id = get_current_user_id();
    $blog_id = get_current_blog_id();
 
    // Bail if user is not actually a member of this site
    if ( ! is_user_member_of_blog( $user_id, $blog_id ) ) {
        return;

    // Bail if the current user already has a forum role to prevent
    // unexpected role and capability escalation.

        return;

    // Make the current user a keymaster

    // Reload the current user so caps apply immediately
