Not really no.

But… I wonder if it is linked to an issue with 5.4.0 where  forum member records would not get removed if you removed the user from the WP users panel. If so then the weekends update to 5.4.1 corrects that.

Yes I use to remove users from wp panel. Maybe I have some issue between sp and wp users. I thought they work together.

I’ll try the update.

They do work together and I am still not really sure what you were seeing but I would start by upgrading to ensure member data is removed under these circumstances.

User data is tied everywhere by the User ID – we do not and indeed can not cross User IDs in any way.

Made the update and still not working.

For somehow old users are not beeing removed from the data base and believe it or not new users appears with old users names in the forum! 

Imagine you come here and create a new account.. eg: login: black / pass: white 

Then you log in and post something… Whey you look to your name in the post.. “pink” is is your name.

Pink used to be an old user that was removed months ago.

Probably I’m having a conflict between sp and another pluing (Theme My Login) that I use to register and log in new users.

I removed this button in the past and I want to restore it but I don’t remember how.

Can you guys help me with this?

if you removed the logout button, you likely removed the function call for it…   I could try to walk you through it, but will be much easier for you to just look at the default theme, file spHead.php and find function

            sp_LogInOutButton(‘tagClass=spButton spRight’, __sp(‘Log In’), __sp(‘Log Out’), __sp(‘Log in and log out’));

just copy it from there to same location in your sp theme…

Thanks

I still do not understand how any of this could happen unless user IDs are being changed or re-used – and out of the box WordPress does neither of these things. If you can get to look at the data tables for one of these users then check out their ID in the WP users table and then match it up with the user_id in the forums sfmembers table…

I can actually say that I have seen this before on another forum that I belong to.

When I log in or make any post it shows someone else’s username, not the one I actually signed up with. 

still, being logged in is still a WP function…  wp determines who the logged in user is…  still think it sounds like a caching issue…

…make any post it shows someone else’s username

This implies that you make the post and after it is made it is assigned to the wrong user. Is this what you are saying?

And Steve is quite correct in that Simple:Press does not handle any login/logout or user identification processing. This is all WordPress. It is WordPress core functionality that informs Simple:Press and all other plugins of the current users identity.

We had a small problem – many, many versions ago – where it was possible under some circumstances for a non-logged in user to be identified as someone else – but only up until the time they logged in and it was, as I say, many versions and some years ago. Any other instances of mis-display – which are rare – have always come down to page caching and as we continue to say – the SP page must be excluded from page caching plugins.
