Ok - let's try something different. In the Unified theme /templates folder is the spTopicView.php template and I would like you to make a small edit of you would.

Around line 366 - much nearer the bottom than the top - is this line of code:

sp_PostIndexUserSignature('tagClass=spPostUserSignature spCenter&maxHeightBottom=55');

I would like you to remove the 55 from the end of that, save, clear the browser cache and see what happens (if anything!).

So literally... - leave the equal sign in place...

sp_PostIndexUserSignature('tagClass=spPostUserSignature spCenter&maxHeightBottom=');

Same thing I'm afraid.

New post does not have signature but if I reply to a post that does have a signature, it will add one.

Do I need to add that file to the child theme or just leave what files are in there alone?

Thanks!

As it made no difference there is no need to copy it over. Same question as the other thread? I think we need a link. Both these issues are quite unique which usually points to a third party knock-on effect of some kind.

Thanks, that was odd.

Well - something is going on but I think it is a little deeper than just signatures. 

If you look at the group view (the opening page of the forum) or the forum view (i.e., list of topics within a forum) then it is almost as if i doesn't know who you are. The top two forums show the last post but do not credit them to a user unlike the bottom two that credit the last post user as 'Gnome'. It is probably not a co-incidence that it is those top two that do not display the signature.

The real puzzling question, of course, is why. I can state categorically that this is something we have never seen before. And just to make it more puzzling - if you visit one of the uncredited topics it knows it is you when displaying the post itself.

I am going to have to bring my colleague @mr-papa into this one to see if between us we can work out just what might be going on....

any chance you can make that account an SP admin?  go to forum - admins - manage admins and grant all capabilities...  we still wont be able to access other parts of the admin - just the SP stuff...

Trying but for whatever reason it keeps telling me no user selected.  I'll keep messing with it, not sure what the deal is now.  I have tried all 3 browsers.

right now, the account seems to have been made a WP admin, but not an SP admin... they are two different things...

please go to forum - admins - manage admins and add in the capabilities to this account please...
