Hello.

If i delete a user from WP, he remains for a long time (not sure how long, apparently as long as the wpForo cache needs to expire ?) as "our newest member" at the bottom of wpForo page and clicking that goes to a 404 page (normal).

Is that nornal ? It that happening to all of you ?

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous20(1) Have you tried creating a "Test User" account to test and see if it overwrites the Footer Statistics "Newest Member" name?

(2)  it goes to a 404  page because the user  has been deleted from our Backend via WP Admin to no longer show up on the Front End,  (however that deleted user still has that attached user ID and username on our WordPress user database tables).   

I've seen the WordPress "phenomenon" that sometimes deleted WP users show up with a name "Anonymous" and then their old posts (if transferred to another current user) show as "Posted 49 years ago") - it usually resolves itself as new members register and new posts are posted.  It happened to me when I deleted an old admin account and then when a new member registered, it just overwrote the old admin name or account. (that was before the 3/11/2019 wpForo update.)  🙂

@crisw This is a wpForo caching issue, since when a clear the cache from within wpForo dashboard, the problem is gone.
