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.
I don’t think anyone is having the same problem. Is there any chance a file is missing? Have you re-uploaded the plugin and theme?
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.
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.
Have you tried switching themes, preferably to one of the default themes, so see if it shows as expected?
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:

This one is really bothering me, I’m not sure what could be causing it.
Thank you for all of your help, Andre.
