I'm testing out my new SP and getting the standard "Member" status rather than the WP roles I assigned.
What do I need to go to get them to show up properly?
Thank you!

Well - a WP 'role' is not an SP 'user group' but you can map 'roles' to 'user groups' in the forum admin > options > member settings.
And if you want to, you can name your user groups that same name as the roles - 'members' is just a default we set up and is often enough for many of our users.
Is that what you needed to know?

That's what I have set up, I have the user groups with matching WP roles under the member settings. It is using the permissions of the default members instead of the ones of the user group.
How do I get it to use the new permissions of the new user group I set?
I have several membership levels with the corresponding user group and wp role. How do I make sure it uses those permissions?

You marry user groups and permission sets when you create or edit a forum. So go to the forum management, edit a forum and set the correct user group/permission relationships in there.

I think the problem may be in my naming of the WP roles ... I have spaces in the names, from what I read, it shouldn't have spaces.
Could this be throwing it off?
It seems the problem is when a new member registers they are not assigned to the indicated level. They default to the "default" user.

I don't know about the 'spaces in roles' question But I guess it is possible,
How are members registered on your site? Is this using the standard WP registration system?

Through Wishlist Member. The member level is assigned a WP role, and the role corresponds to a user level in Simple Press.

Which is more or less what we do here I believe.
Steve is more the WishList guy than me so if you can hold off for a little longer he will be along later...

That's fine, in the mean time I will try changing the role names with no spaces, I keep reading that wordpress roles cannot have spaces. Everything else looks set right from what I can tell.

not sure spaces have any impact - if so its a wp thing then... but worth trying...
so lets recap:
1) you went to wishlist - member levels and for each membership level, you mapped it to a unique wp role...
2) you went to forum - options - member settings and mapped each wp role to an sp usergroup, including the members one...
3) you went to forum - usergroups - manage usergroups and set up a unique sp usergroup for each role/level
4) you went to forum - permissions - manage permissions and set up a unique sp permission set for each role/level (technically, you could share, but no point to that really)
5) you went to forum - forums - manage groups and forums and applied the usergroup from (3) with the permission set from (4) to each forum where you want to control access
