I have the exact same theme and plugins set up on my development server, and this problem does not happen. The only difference that I can think of is that on the production server I’m running NGINX, and on the development server I’m running Apache. Can anyone confirm this version works with NGINX?
@mcpeanut Thanks, and like I said I’m aware of the issue of too many admins. I’ve been working with WordPress for over 10 years, I know about roles and capabilities. This is a site that I help out with – not my personal site, and there are a lot of moving parts.
I am curious if you can replicate this odd behavior, thanks for investigating.
Totally aware of the too many admins issue. Right now most of them need admin access to be able to edit user accounts, grant contributor/author access, etc. I’m working on making that a bit more streamlined and knocking down folks to editor.
I can read another user’s message list from their profile, and when I click on the message to read it, it brings the message up but within my own profile. I’m happy to submit a ticket.
The part which made me think it was a bug was when I opened the test user’s message from viewing their profile, it brought me to my own profile, but displayed the user’s messages.
We have over 20 admins and over 35k users – it’s a huge site. I’d prefer it if admins could not read messages, but it’s not a huge deal.
