If a member is suspended or blocked the logged-in member can see standalone forums created by member

Standalone Forums → Discussions/ Replies


If a member is suspended or blocked, the logged-in member can see standalone forum discussions and replies posted by the member. What you will see is the member’s name shown as ‘Unknown Member’ and the member's avatar will go back to the default avatar set in the Buddyboss - Settings - Profile. Also you are unable to link to the member’s profile when clicking on the members name or avatar.


If you are admin then you can see the name of a suspended member. After clicking the name it will redirect  to their profile in WP Admin. 


Moreover, the Discussion or Reply content will be visible to both suspended and blocked members.
