Hello, I wish to know if have any plans yet to release the Crossposter add-on and the WPML fully compatibility. I'm very interested in the add-on and the WPML compatibility will be great for user's experience. Thanks!

What do you mean saying WPML compatible? Do you want to have separate forums for each language?

The wpForo Cross-posting addon is already done, we're planning to release it in 2-3 week.

Very good to know about the add-on, thanks!

About the WPML compatibility, I'm using WPML permalinks method with "/" (e.g.: "/en"), and if all forum's interface (not posts obviously) could be translated with WPML (language swicher) using this methods, will be very useful.

I've read in another topics about issues with '/en' (instead of ?lang=en), so I'm not sure if this issues still exists and if is planned for fix in near future.

Off Topic: I have some problems with the wpForo Breadcrumb, it's showing "Forums" on the index, but my page is "Forum". On the user profile, it's showing the user login (e.g.: johndoe, when display name and user nicename is empty) on breadcrumb (and I don't like it for security reasons), but on my site, the users only use "First Name" and "Last Name" (e.g.: John Doe).

I've tried to call a new function based on yours (breadcrumb on class-template.php) and load via header.php on wpforo folder in my theme, and it works on profiles and index, but on topics and subforums, I get "fatal error" on "$this" object (obviously because the new function in my functions.php isn't classified)... and I cannot replace it completely.

So, do you have any suggestions or in near future can release an feature to edit breadcrumb display? Thanks!

It doesn't matter what is the page name. The root name is always Forum. This is like Home word but for forum.

On the user profile, it's showing the user login (e.g.: johndoe, when display name and user nicename is empty) on breadcrumb (and I don't like it for security reasons), but on my site, the users only use "First Name" and "Last Name" (e.g.: John Doe).

wpForo doesn't display login, we've already cared about that and we know very well that that's not secure. Only you see the username on your profile page, it's not available for others. Only in case you're an admin you can see all users username. wpForo uses nickename for profile Breadcrumb and for profile permalink slug. The problem is in user. User must change the nickname after registration, because WordPress automatically generates nicknames based on login, but if you change your nickname, nobody will see that.

Please read this doc:

Thanks Robert, it's really clarified everything.

And about WPML previously mentioned, do you have an idea about "/en" permalinks, or it's already fixed?
