Thanks, I have sent along the staging site via email, the same credentials will continue to work.

I have also enabled plugin file editing.

Please let me know if you need any more details from me as y'all debug.

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).

@astgh Thanks, I appreciate the investigation. I will wait for the official plugin release with the fix.

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

 

Thanks

I'm sorry, but we cannot provide an ETA at this time. I will update this topic as soon as I have any news for you.

@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

Yes, please update the plugin, delete all caches and check again.

@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.

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.
