I have a new problem in my forum (theeagleye.net/forums).

My one forum (Off-Topic Lounge) has a problem I have not had before. Unlike every other forum I have, this one always shows the user as signed out (even if they are not, and the other forums do not show this). When they try to sign in, it still does not allow them to sign in. I already tried clearing the cache and checking all the settings in this forum, but they are all exactly as they are supposed to be and nothing is solving the problem.

Has anyone else had this issue and what can I do to solve it?

I use the Twenty Twenty Five theme, have WordPress 6.9, bbpress Version 2.6.14, and my site is theeagleye.net/.

ok, no easy way to diagnose this as forum requires membership.

I’d suggest 2 things :

1. post a topic to this forum and see if that changes
2. Delete the forum (as it has no topics) and create a new one with the same name and see if that fixes.

I did try suggestion 2), but I will attempt suggestion 1) today and report on how that works.

Thank you.

I will have to keep testing it, but it appears that posting a topic solved the problem.

What would the root cause of this issue?

sorry, not one I have seen before, could be many reasons including other plugins and themes – Unless it reoccurs I’d suggest you just enjoy your site.

Okay, thank you. I will keep an eye on. I appreciate the assistance.
