Just a quick note but I’m seeing this now on my site quite regularly. The students want to see their faces up on the board, but boy do they get angry when someone is up there who hasn’t earned it. Also that person feels embarrassed as well. I’ve just let it be for some of the smaller achievements, but for the big certifications that everyone is trying for, I have had to turn off the Show Earners feature, otherwise a couple individuals display there and it is a bad scene all around. I saw the github entry so I guess this is slated for a future update if we are lucky? Thanks much for your efforts.

I found that bit of code and played around a bit but I’m not quite proficient enough with functions to know how exactly to change what is being returned.

In the meantime, I also tried a plug-in route, using the Active Directory Integration plug in, which is what I was using, combined with the additional Active Directory Thumbnails plugin let me pull in images so now the images works, I’ll see at launch how the users like it.

Thanks much,

Fantastic! That did the trick. I’ve made the change and done a couple successful tests. I’ll test a bit more and let you know if there are any that don’t work, but it looks that fixed it. Thanks so much!

Interesting! Thanks for taking a look at this. I am on 3.9.0. I have not yet updated to 3.9.1 because I have to do it manually and a bit of a hassle, but I can (and it sounds like I should?) do that now.

OK, I have resolved the problem after thinking through your above comment. The problem originates when there is a Page and an Achievement Type with the same name. So if I change the name of one or the other, then, because I am using the “Post Name” Permalink type, I edit the Permalink of the page so that it also does not use the same name, then it works. Perhaps the issue actually originates from the type of Permalink you choose? I had to change from the default per the recommendation of the BuddyPress plug in.

Thank you for your assistance.

When a page has the same slug as the achievement post type itself, and the URL goes to the archive, how do I resolve this issue? I’ve tried simply deleting the page, but the archive still appears. Your explanation makes sense, but I don’t know how to correct the problem.

Thank you for your response, much appreciated!
