Nickname Changing on admin account

Hi,
hmm can you let me know what WPAdverts version are you using? I remember we had a similar issue once but it was resolved some time (maybe 2-years) ago.

Hi Greg,

Core is on 1.4.5. The only update I see available in Plugins is WooCommerce Payments from 1.6.0 to 1.6.1.

Thanks…
John

Hi,
hmm so you are using the latest WPAdverts version, I understand this happens only when you are adding an advert from the page with [adverts_add] shortcode (and you are logged in while doing it)?

Also, can you let me know what other plugins you have installed?

Greg,

Yes – [adverts_add form_scheme=”classifieds-package-1″]

When customers create an ad is when it appears to happen. It looks like it is taking a custom field and setting that as the root WP admin ‘NIckname’ and ‘Display name publicly as’ name. Changing that field after an ad has been posted does not appear to change it again.

We have the following modules installed/enabled…
WooCommerce Payments
Custom Fields
Emails
reCAPTCHA
Category Icons
Mark As Sold

I have other modules installed but not activated.

Hi,
thanks for the details I am out of office today (independence day here in Poland :)), but I will be working again tomorrow, I will check that and let you know.

Hi,
i am trying to replicate this issue, but so far i wasn’t able to do so, can you send me some more details?

1. Does this happen to a logged-in user, anonymous user, a user who clicked “Create Account” checkbox or all of them?

2. what is the name of the custom field which is being used to replace the admin nickname?

3. if possible then you can try disabling the active modules/plugins and see when and if the problem goes away.

Hi Greg. I hope you enjoyed your Independence Day. I took my son on a 2 week trip and am finally starting to catch up on work.

So I did a query logger and found more info for you. I haven’t tested every situation you listed in #1 but it definitely happened on the first test I did, which was a new user checking the ‘create account’ box. I think you’ll see what is happening in the queries I captured.

There are a number of UPDATE wp_usermeta’s after this which include ‘Test Person’ but they are massive and I believe the issue is already shown in the above queries.

I hope this is enough info for you to figure out where the issue is. Thanks!

Hi,
thanks i can see where the nickname changes, but i am not sure why does this happen or rather why the user id in the query is set to 1.

Can you send me a message via the contact form at https://wpadverts.com/contact? I will send you a code that should make a workaround for this

BTW. When the user nickname changes does this also change the admin role to Subscriber? I am looking at the code and it should do both if the user_id if for some reason = 1.

Thanks Greg. I just sent a request on your contact work. Agreed I saw the user_id = 1 which would be doing it. I don’t know the code above it but my guess is there’s a query to get the previously inserted user record and something doesn’t pull up correctly so it ends up with ‘1’.

Nickname seems to be the only thing changing. We never lose Admin role on user id 1.

Thanks!
John
