Custom post type menus disappear after profile update

[jaredatch]

Editing your profile through bbPress results in the CPT menus disappearing.

Able to duplicate this on bbPress/WordPress trunk.

Test user account is admin with full admin privileges.

• Edit your profile via yoursite.com/forums/users/admin/edit.
• Update anything.
• Save.
• Go back to WordPress admin and the Forum/Topic/Reply menus are now gone.

Confirmed with WordPress 3.5-beta1-22104 and bbPress [4230]

I was just coming in to post about disappearing menus for no apparent reason. Glad I found this thread as I was going insane trying to track down this bug.

Great catch figuring this out. I never ever would have guessed that editing the profile was the cause of my menus disappearing. I was going nuts as it seemed to happen for no apparent reason.

It took me a bit to track it down, trust me :P

Problem lies in bbp_save_user_caps() (bbp-core-caps.php), but I haven't played with all the new caps enough to easily figure out what's not right.

This goes along with the same bug I think.

On bbPress.org I updated my profile bio and now I am unable to reply to topics!

Yep; lame. Looking into it.
