That runs from wp_footer → WPF()->cache->create() when the template is forum (forum index). After the wipe, traffic rebuilds the files, the folder hits 1000 again, and the wipe repeats (for us, every few minutes). PHP CPU spikes and the cache is not useful.

We have thousands of posts. Each cached post is its own file ({postid}_{locale}). A 1000-file cap is far below our working set. There is no setting or filter to change it.

This is still present in 3.1.5. classes/Cache.php check():

if ( $filecount > 1000 ) {
$this->clean_files( $directory );
}

Page cache (WP Rocket etc.) is not in use on the forum; this is only wpForo’s on-disk cache.

Request
Please make the limit filterable, default 1000, pass $directory, and treat 0 as never wipe:

$max = (int) apply_filters( 'wpforo_cache_dir_max_files', 1000, $directory );
if ( $max > 0 && $filecount > $max ) {
$this->clean_files( $directory );
}

That stays backward compatible. Large forums can raise the cap or disable the wipe without forking the plugin.

Optional follow-up
Counting the directory with FilesystemIterator on every forum-index request is expensive once the folder is large, even if you never delete. A throttle (e.g. at most once per N minutes) would help. Full-directory unlink is also harsh vs deleting oldest files; the filter is the minimum we need please.

I changed from wp-login form to the wpforo signin page. Somehow now my header popup/modal login stopped working. It is passing the credentials via php post to the page. It looks like the wpforo login page does not work with provided credentialds. Any idea how this could be fixed? If i switch back to wordpress login logic it is logging me in.

Thank you

Before I upgrade to the new version, I just want to make 100% sure: 

Can you please confirm that the "Recent Topics Widget" in the new version STILL includes the option of "RANDOM"? 

Many thanks,

I am using PeepSo for user profiles on my website, so I do not need the profile editing functionality provided by wpForo.

I would like users to use PeepSo exclusively for their profile and account information. Therefore, I would like to completely disable or hide the profile editing options in wpForo.

Is there a setting in wpForo to disable the following options?

• Edit Account Information
• Edit User in Dashboard
• Any other profile/account editing options provided by wpForo

I would like to keep the wpForo user profiles themselves functional, but users should not be able to edit their profile information through wpForo.

Is there a recommended setting, hook or filter for this?

Thank you!

I would like to know if there is a way for a user to mark all new/unread posts in the forum as read at once.

Currently, users can mark individual topics/posts as read, but I would like to have an option such as “Mark all as read”, so that all currently unread content is marked as read with one click.

Is this feature available in wpForo? If so, where can I enable it?

If there is no built-in option, is there a recommended way to add this functionality?

Thank you!

I would like to completely disable all email notifications sent by wpForo to regular users.

My goal is that users do not receive any emails from wpForo, including:

• New posts in subscribed topics
• New topics in subscribed forums
• User mentions (@username)
• User following notifications
• Any other forum subscription or notification emails

I have already disabled the following options under Email Settings:

• Notify Admins via Email on New Topic → No
• Notify Admins via Email on New Post → No

However, these settings only affect administrators.

I also checked Subscriptions & Mentioning, but I cannot find an option to completely disable email notifications for regular users.

Is there a setting or recommended method to completely disable all wpForo emails to users while keeping the forum itself fully functional?

I am using the latest version of wpForo.

Thank you!

It has been 3 years since I had this community (Gazal/is). I have had no member talking about graphic design, photography and art. What does it look like to you guys?

Thanks
