Hi Guys

I am really new to all of this, I have installed BBpress on my site, I have a forum running and have managed to get some topics and replies etc, I have noticed that the post count is at zero (apart from mine) – is taht because i have not set up for them to register first?

Is there an easy fix to get the count working? If not to actually hide the count?

I have looked on some posts on this but do find them a little confussing, sorry

i am using avada if this makes a difference

many thanks Harrison

Hi,
From you administration panel, did you try to go to ‘Tools > Forums > Repair Forums’ and run some recalculation and count jobs there ?

I ticked an saved (one at a time) the Count toipic and Count replies for each user, and unfortunately the field still have not updated (showing zero) – do you think its an issue with them not having to register to post? IT DOES SHOW MY COUNT

OK, as you have avada, could it be the same like here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/post-count-incorrect-repair-tools-dont-fix-the-problem/ ?

That is it. Guest users shouldn’t have their post count data gathered.

[@chappers39 Participant 9 years ago]

Thanks Caseipa, i will have a look at that, hopefully i can get an answer, Robkk is suspect thatt this may be the case

I wonder if i can hide the count full stop?
