that is the users IP number – their computer’s number.
It is only seen by moderators and keymasters.
It lets them see if someone has multiple usernames but is using one computer
Thank you for the quick reply, I am not used to looking at IP6 addresses so it completely flew over my head.
Follow-up question: one of the reasons I was confused is because on other bbPress installs (like this one) I see their @handle and how long ago their posted under the avatar.
How do I get those to appear as well, or do they appear just not to keymasters?
neither is standard in bbpress, maybe in buddypress or buddyboss, I don’t know.
for the handle, you’ll need to add
/**
* Add @mentionname after bbpress forum author details
*/
add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'mentionname_to_bbpress' );
function mentionname_to_bbpress () {
$user = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
if ( !empty( $user->user_nicename ) ) {
$user_nicename = $user->user_nicename;
echo "@".$user_nicename;
}
}
Put this in your child theme’s function file –
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
or use
