My problem at this point is when I view a topic, my IP address shows up beneath my gravatar. That's not in the code in topic.php. I believe it's coming from the call to do_action('under_title'). This seems to be the only place that the gravatars can come into the post, as there doesn't seem to be anything in the topic.php file related to them.

Any ideas are appreciated.

The IP address is only visible to admins.

Ip address is visible to moderators also and I don't want moderators to see ip address.. Is there any way to restrict moderators frm getting ip address of members ???

This will remove the ability for moderators to see IPs anywhere in bbPress.

add_filter('get_roles','no_view_ip');
function no_view_ip($roles){unset($roles['moderator']['capabilities']['view_by_ip']); return $roles;}

It will work in bbPress 0.9 or 1.0.
In 1.0 you can just put it into functions.php in your template folder or make it into a mini-plugin for 0.9

Thanks, CK! I appreciate it!

Never having moderated a forum, I'm not sure what good knowing a user's IP address is, especially with DHCP. I guess it can help you determine if a user who was banned has tried to rejoin using a different name, but only if they use the same exact IP address.

Unless I'm missing something . . .

Thanks again
