What's New displayed twice

009Webmaster — Wed, 20 May 2026 07:25:27 +0000

In the header for my board the What's New button is shown twice which is not affecting performance but is getting lots of discussions and complaints from my community :(

Is there a way to cure this?

Robert — Wed, 20 May 2026 06:27:47 +0000

We've just released wpForo 3.1 middle version!

wpForo 3.1 comes with better performance and posting speed. Lots of bugs have been fixed along with security issues. Added new tabs in wpForo > Tools admin page for Email Queue and Cron Job monitoring.

3.1.0 Changes

Compatibility: WordPress 7.0
Security: Fixed vulnerability issue in the Revisions module
Security: Fixed vulnerability issue in Gutenberg block renderers
New: Tools – Email Queue Tab, email notifications now sent asynchronously with automatic fallback to direct sending when WP-Cron is broken or disabled, dramatically reducing post-submission delays on busy forums
70
New: Tools – Cron Jobs Tab, listing every WordPress scheduled event with per-row Run Now / Delete / Details, wpForo events sorted to the top

69
Fixed: Duplicate email notifications could be sent for posts that pass moderation
Fixed: Duplicate topic view counts could be recorded for the same user
Fixed: Processing spinner could remain visible after indexing completed
Fixed: Email Queue admin tab now shows “Cron idle” instead of “unknown” when there are no emails to send
AI New: Custom Knowledge – upload TXT, MD, JSON, and PDF files (Business+ plan) to enhance AI Chatbot and Bot Reply with your own documentation
68
AI New: Custom Knowledge – scanned/image-only PDFs auto-fall back to OCR when native text is sparse
AI New: Custom Knowledge integrated into AI Chatbot, and AI Topic Suggestions
AI Improved: AI cron jobs are now only registered when a tenant is connected to the AI service, preventing stale wp_cron entries on installs that do not use AI features

Finding the Block/Ignore Function

HoosierHuddle — Tue, 19 May 2026 16:46:28 +0000

Hello,

I have had my forums for about a year now and one of the big requests has been a block/ignore function. Chat help says there is a button, but it's not there or I can't find it. How do I check if my forum has that feature and how to I add it if I don't?

Thanks,

Sammy

Hey there I just started using WPforo and I have a question. Is it possible to view guests, bots online as opposed to just registered members? If so how can I make that happen? Thank you

Hi,

I want to change a color but I cannot find which item it is I have to adjust on Forum settings, Colors & Styles.

-- attachment is not available --

I want to change the darker grey color from the active item in the menu (see screenshot above). For this example I want the background color for Forum to be blue.

Where and how can I change that?

How can I see if there are new messages or topics in a forum?

gjhvs — Mon, 18 May 2026 11:42:52 +0000

Hi!

I am just starting to use wpForo on my Madonna fanclub website. I used to use phpBB but it was a stand-alone apllication. I love how wpForo is part of my Wordpress site.

I have a question. When I visit the homepage of the forum, how can I see if there are new messages since my last visit? In phpBB for instance the icon would get a differten colour. I find it very hard in wpForo to see if I have new messages or topics since my last visit.

Examples

I'd really like to see examples of wpForo in differing communities in the UK. I am so looking forward to, possibly, setting up a community as a home page on Wordpress 😎

Can't change this text color

dankworks — Sat, 16 May 2026 12:14:04 +0000

I've tried several different CSS snippets in an attempt to change the font color of the text in the image. Can anyone help me out?

colors.css or style.css

Erhoo — Fri, 15 May 2026 20:59:15 +0000

Hi, I want change the colors css. In the wpforo settings page is written, that I have to go to a folder and upload my colors.css and replace it. but in the folder, which is described ../../wp-content/plugins/wpforo/themes/2026/HERE is no file called colors.css but in the same folder is a "styles.css" file.

Now my question if I want to change the "forum-title" class, which file I have to edit?
