Causing User ID's To Display In bbPress

Hey.

Thank you for reporting this. I think this is actually due to 1.5.3 and was just missed in 1.5.4 and is due to my incorrect use of a bbPress function which echos the ID instead of returning it.

I have updated the current version of 1.5.4 to fix this if you want to download a fresh copy and replace your current version via FTP.

Otherwise if you feel comfortable with editing files, you can fix this by opening the myCRED-addon-badges.php file and on the line 188 change it from:

$user_id = bbp_reply_author_id();

to:

$user_id = bbp_get_reply_author_id();

No problem!

I’m not too familiar on how to do either of those actions to fix it haha. Is there something simpler (or maybe can you just explain how to do the FTP one?)

Using a FTP application of your choosing login to your website and go to the wp-content/plugins/ folder.

In this folder, you should see folders and one index.php file. Each plugin is represented by on of these folders. myCRED’s folder is called mycred.

Now depending on your FTP application when you are in this plugins folder, you should be able to drag and drop files / folders into this folder and the FTP application will upload it for you.

So download a new copy of myCRED from here which will be called mycred.1.5.4.zip. Unzip this and you will find it contains only one thing, a folder named mycred.

Just upload this folder into your wp-content/plugins/ folder which will replace your current copy. You might get a warning telling you that “There is already a folder named mycred in this location are you sure you want to replace?” to which you click yes. But the FTP application I use myself does not do this.

Alternatively if you feel really uncomfortable doing this, you can contact me by email and I can help you out and apply the fix for your website.

Thank you for the explanation and the offer! Your effort to ensuring a quality user experience cannot be understated. You’re one of the best!

I actually decided to restore from a backup to before we had updated. Then I simply updated again and everything is great now ??

Thanks so much as always!

P.S. You should really think about putting your plugin on codecanyon and charging $20-$30 for it. I think you would find a lot of new users who would be willing to pay for it (I know I would! Already bought the Notification Plus!) You could add more simple control panel elements and options without requiring as much user code to change things around and I can see it getting tons of paid downloads.

Just a suggestion! Keep up the great work!

Thank you for those kind words. Happy to hear you are satisfied with myCRED.

I believe that myCRED like WordPress needs to remain free and I have no plans on starting to charge users for using it. Freedom to use is what I think will make myCRED grow.

The potential of myCRED is endless as you can use it for a lot of different things like using it as a statistics tool or build entire banking system off this. Customizations however can only be taken so far without making the plugin very complex and bloated. This means that some changes has to be done via code as I will never be able to construct something that will suit every single idea out there (and there are a lot of them).
