I found the problem.

The fact is that WPFORO changed their add_action hook from init to admin_bar_init in 38 line of wpf-includes/wpf-hooks.php

To make a long story short,

due to the load order of show_admin_bar(false), the _admin_bar_bump_cb is loaded.

I don't know the reason WPFORO changed the action hook. Is add_action on 'init' bad behavior?

sorry, for me this is not a very big problem
i added the 2 codes and everything works fine

Thanks tutrix, and I understand, by adding the code everything works.

As for me, I want to establish what the root cause of the problem is. I do not want to start adding code as workaround to fix every potential bug.

So I'll keep digging. 🙂

But the adminbar is not hidden, that's my entire point.

But when you activate only wpForo, with the "Show Admin Bar for Members" set to No, that's when you notice the problem.

"Show Admin Bar for Members" set to No = means the adminbar is hidden
and only by hidden Adminbar you see the now empty margin-top 32px

and the 2 codes solve the problem

the first code remove the "margin-top 32px" so all is ok when the Adminbar is hidden
the second code add the margin-top 32px so all is ok when the Adminbar is visible

sorry, for me this is not a very big problem
i added the 2 codes and everything works fine

this is a very old problem with Wordpress when the adminbar is hidden

But the adminbar is not hidden, that's my entire point. If you check this post above, you will see that WordPress itself behaves normally when all plugins are disabled.

But when you activate only wpForo, with the "Show Admin Bar for Members" set to No, that's when you notice the problem.

How do you explain it?

Thanks

@fawp

this is a very old problem with Wordpress when the adminbar is hidden

you can find many similar questions over google search

most users or authors will not see it because they are working with the visible adminbar

I only saw it because I run several blogs and am also often logged in as testuser without the adminbar

Thanks @tutrix - this is still a workaround though, isn't it?

I am trying to get to the bottom of whether this issue affects only specific situations or not.

The guys at wpForo seem to suggest this is a localized problem (meaning it does not affect everybody), although I pointed out I was not the only one with this issue.

You would still have the issue, if you hadn't added the extra code, would you?
