Support Forum

Hey Robert,

First thing to check is what is special about these 2 users? Are they in a different usergroup to everyone else? If so have you set up a test user account you can put in the same usergroup and test yourself?

Other than these 2, do you have more users who have had no problem?

Aside from the above, it could be down to a plugin conflict. Are you getting any errors on the page in the browser console?

I'd be happy to take a look if you could post a link.

Thanks, I've removed the login details from your post. Although generally speaking everyone here is pretty decent, you never know who's reading!.. In the future, you're more than welcome to PM login details to all the admins (myself, Mr Papa and Yellow Swordfish) with a link to the thread in question and a brief reminder of the problem - It's our preferred method so one of us can take a look.

OK so this is a bit strange. Do you see the posts OK?

They're not showing up for me but what is more worrying is that the post content div's don't contain any text and the post numbers jump from post no.1 to post no. 303155.

Have you imported this forum from elsewhere? If so did you also bring over the relevant WP 'users' and 'usermeta' tables?

One other thing I notice which needs fixing to eliminate it as a problem is your timezone. UTC isn't fully supported by WordPress so that needs to be changed to a genuine timezone. This has been known in the past to cause all manner of problems.

Sorry I might have been jumping the gun. What forum did you migrate from and how?

If you moved from one SP forum to another, the users and usermeta tables contain vital information about users linked to posts.

I just noticed that in the first topic I looked at nobody's profiles were clickable suggesting that the users didn't exist any more. I also saw you in the thread, again looking like a user who didn't exist (but with the same avatar you use here) and I then navigated to the latest post made by you and I could see the post content just fine with just a plain 'admin' avatar but the same username.

This would suggest to me that some kind of user information wasn't imported properly or failed somehow.

If you moved from another SP forum, did you follow the guidelines?

I understand what you're saying about not linking users to posts, but it's an important step to getting things working.

It's looking like something is wrong with the database somewhere, as your WP states 12 users but your forum claims to have over 200.

Could you take a look at your database and see how many users there are in the users table? It will have your prefix so 'xxx_users'.
