Yeah I tried that after my last post, both the default BP theme and a basic wordpress theme, both stock, and the problem was still there.
This is what has made me believe its not a BBP problem. Because of this I’ve marked this topic as resolved and posted a support topic on wordpress.org:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/author-username-not-displaying?replies=1
This one is really bothering me, I’m not sure what could be causing it.
Thank you for all of your help, Andre.
I’ve actually just noticed that if I changed the author tag on blog posts on wordpress to:
<?php the_author() ?>
It doesn’t display there either. I guess its not a BBP problem after all, but leaves me even more confused.
Hi Andre, thanks for the reply.
I hadn’t considered that, just tried doing a complete uninstall / delete and reinstall and the problem remained. It would suggest something else is causing it, now I’m even more confused.
Bump & Update
I’ve looked into the possibility a plugin is causing this, disabled one by one, testing after each is disabled, no change.
I’ve also tested removing all custom functions with no change.
I would really appreciate some help with this, it has really been annoying me, I can’t figure it out.
Thanks.
Has there been any solution found for this? I’d also like to be able to display forum info for individual forums rather than the category group.
That is an option I guess. Would rather have things working properly though. Using “forums” for site wide forums seems like the most obvious way to do it, don’t understand this.
Thanks for your help.
Hope there someone does know a way to get this to work.
Thanks for the reply, Justin. Can’t seem to find the bp config file on the server.
