@vanessa

The issue is fixed. However, it will only work for new posts. For the old ones, you'll need to manually fix them from the database.

@astgh Hi, we updated the plugin and are still seeing the same behavior.

Blog posts cross-posted to forums are showing up without an author in the database if they were scheduled or edited by editors before posting.

Please let the dev team know and confirm when a fix is available.

@astgh Hi, I noticed that a recent update was released for WPForo,

Can you please confirm whether this fix was added to the update? I didn't see it in the release notes.

We are also seeing a similar issue where a post by a user who deleted their account will show up as attributed to a random user in Recent Posts

Hi @astgh do you have an ETA yet for the release of the next wpForo plugin update that includes this fix?

Thanks

@vanessa

The issue comes from the wpForo plugin.

The developers have fixed it on your staging website. You can either copy the wpForo plugin folder from your staging website to the live one or wait for the next wpForo plugin update (no ETA yet).
