Somehow All of My Forums For Which I Do Not Assign a Description Pick Up Dummy Text "Blue Theme By The Forum Software Designers." How Can I Get Rid of That?

    Affected Version
    WoltLab Suite 3.1

    I am not sure whether my problem arose from a theme I added or something else, but somehow (no matter what theme/style I use) when I add a forum or subforum, but do not assign a "description," the forum shows up in the forum list with some dummy text - in my case "Blue Theme By The Forum Software Designers."


    I have no idea where that came from but I would definitely like to get rid of it in one operation, as I have many forums and it will be a great effort over time to go back to existing forums and assign descriptions to each one.


    Can anyone point me in the right direction?


    Thank you!

    Hello,


    This can be caused by a defective phrase added by a plugin that contains a zero-length name.


    Please run this database query to remove it:

    SQL
    DELETE FROM wcf1_language_item WHERE languageItem = '';


    Afterwards, please clear the cache via the admin panel and everything should work properly again.

    Sounds like a great suggestion Alexander! Can you give me a hint as to the best way to do that? Is that done within PHPMYADMIN, outside of Woltlab software, or is there a way to do this within Woltlab software?

    I think that is through phpmyadmin ( if available ) which lists your database. You can find it through cPanel. There is an option to run queries inside phpmyadmin.

    Smile , it's good for health

    that seems to have worked. Thanks Alexander and Dilip!!! I don't see a way to change this to SOLVED but if someone can do that I would appreciate it! Thanks!
