A Cbox site I support was also hacked recently with what looks like similar results as your site.

Doing a Google search with the “site:” operator shows similar spammy results. ( site:planetearthlings.org ) Look several pages into the search results to see the spam.

I would not be too hasty to blame plugins – I feel like companies just…[Read more]

Late yesterday I realized that if I disabled the CBox plugin, I could update bbPress. so I did that, the re-enabled CBox – that worked. Your solution is probably better.

 

Thanks!

Do we have to wait for a general CBox update? Or is there a way to update bbPress independently?

While this did not get me all the way there, it did open a new avenue that lead me to the solution.

In the members/member-header.php file of the theme (child theme of course) I added:

<p><?php the_author_meta(‘description’,bp_displayed_user_id()); ?></p>

just after the beginning of the “item-meta” div.

This was exactly what I…[Read more]

I am trying to achieve a page that gives Name, Biographical Info, then all the extended profile fields.
