I’m logged in as a Keymaster and when posting in my forums, my IP address is very strange. I don’t think anyone else sees this other other other Keymasters but still, it’s a little annoying when posting and seeing it all the time. See link for screenshot of what I’m talking about:

Please help, I can’t seem to figure it out. Thanks!

that is entirely intentional – it lets keymasters see IP addresses to spot people who might post under several names.

you could hide it with css

.bbp-reply-ip {
display : none !important ;
}

or amend line 512 of loop-single-reply

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

then take out line 51 – you may also need to do this to loop-single-topic

or use a filter to get rid of it

function remove_ip () {
$author_ip = '' ;
return $author_ip ;
}

add_filter( 'bbp_get_author_ip', 'remove_ip');

Thanks for your help. But I’m not wanting to remove the IP addresses. I’m just wondering why my IP address is so jacked up? It’s not even a valid IP address.

It only does the weird IP address when posting as KEYMASTER. Other users don’t look weird. It’s only the KEYMASTER.

[Robin W]

This is a valid IP address – it’s just a IPv6 address – the new bigger ones as the world is running out of the old IPv4 addresses

Oh really? That’s interesting. Thank you for clarifying. As long as I’m only one who sees it I don’t really mind. Thank you for your help!

No problem !
