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?

    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:

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