If they have to make a post, why it is assigning rankings for certain members and not others?

Also, how can I assign members rankings manually in the database?

FYI - I did a quick test. I created a new forum post as one of my forum members that was placed in the wrong ranking and it did not put him back in the correct ranking after I created the post.

Update: I got all users in the correct rank.

  1. deactivated Ranks Information plugin
  2. created rank by post count that I wanted each user to be in
  3. I kept recreating the rank for each post count (for example for new users rank, I set # posts at 0 and created it, then changed it to 1 and recreated it, etc. all the way to 15.
  4. For the 2nd rank I wanted to have I did the same for all posts over 15, luckily I don't have that many users.

It also auto-promotes users to the correct rank and user membership level now.

For some reason the Ranks Information plugin was messing things up. So I'm just keeping it deactivated for now.

It does keep members in the old membership group and adds the new one. How does that affect forum permissions? Also, how do I have it remove users from the old group?

if you want to remove users from old usergroup, just set the limit users to single usergroup option on forum - usergroups - map users to usergroups panel in the user memberships section...
