Dear all,
since a recent update the bio is not shown in the profile anymore for most members.
In some older profiles the bio is shown.
I compared all setting of both but didn't find any difference.
Is this a known issue?
Kind regards,
Mirko
Starting from 2.0.6 version, wpForo doesn't show profile fields of users who don't have any content. So the user should have at least one topic or post to be able to show some data in its profile page. This is another layout of spam protection.
Spammers register and use website, bio, signature, social network and other fields to leave spam links and the profile persists in your forum with all spam information. So if a user doesn't have any post, then it doesn't have profile data displayed in forum.
In any case, if you still want to show the new users profile data, then use this PHP hook code in Code Snippets plugin or in the functions.php of current active WordPress theme.
add_filter('wpforo_profile_field_displaying_restriction', '__return_false');
