If you have completely removed everyone from special ranks and removed the standard rank entries then nothing should display anywhere. If things are still showing then that suggests either there is still data to be removed or you may be using a caching plugin of some kind. At least I can see no other reason…?

It is not clear, where does this rank. Cash I’ve already cleaned.

I am not sure what the non-English one says of course but I think what you are seeing is the the user group membership tag.

Take a look at the topic view template in the /templates folder (or, if this is reboot /templates/desktop and /templates/mobile).  If it calls the function ‘sp_PostIndexUserMemberships’ then comment it out to see what happens and see if that resolves it for you.

If it does then remember as always we recommend the use of a child theme to ensure changes are not lost when upgrading. There are now Child Theme Frameworks available to download for all of our themes to make this simple and full and extensive details can be found on our Codex – Creating a Child Theme page: https://simple-press.com/documentation/codex/themes/theme-basics/creating-a-child-theme/

Here’s another example on . Now all ranks are removed entirely, but it still appears – “Member”.

Well – as above – try also commenting out the calls to:

• sp_PostIndexUserRank
• sp_PostIndexUserSpecialRank

and I will take a closer look to see if any baggage gets left behind after a removal  but quick tests yesterday did not show anything. But I will investigate further.

Let me know if the above fixes it please.

Thanks for the tips. It’s very difficult. I decided to leave it as is.

OK sorry.
I have it on my list to investigate and of we find any problems then it will get fixed in the next update but so far I have not found anything relevant.

OK – I have delved further into this.

If you turn off the user ranking system – as you have done – then the display reverts to show one of the 4 user types which are ‘admin’, ‘moderator’, ‘member’ or ‘guest’. The prescribed method for removing this is, as I said above, to remove the call from the template. This is actually quite an easy thing to do, especially as we now have child theme frameworks to use.
