Caching and wpForo

Today i did some tests with caching plugins, wpForo and also wpForo internal caching (3 options).
The tests were done using several tools but i will post some that you can also try yourself easily.
At you can test for free 25 virtual users against your forums and with registration you can do more (registration is free from what i see).
My tests were done on a high quality shared hosting plan (semi-dedi with limited # of sites) under Litespeed webserver and cloud linux (cloud linux auto limits you when you exceed usage of cpu etc etc but doesn't shut you down). PHP 7.3 and MariaDB. My plan has 1 giga of ram, 25 entry processes limit and 1 cpu, 50mb/s IO usage and 500 IOPS.
Also an optimizing plugin was used (fast velocity) but with wpForo assets excluded.
My test website is a low traffic, with low topics but with several plugins and ads from external sources. I was not able to remove the external ads, since it was a huge job (not a disable/enable a plugin).
I will post below my (interesting) findings and please comment only if you know what you are talking about. Try not to spoil this topic with OT.
I would very much be interested by gvectors comments also. Maybe they can interprete better the results in the charts.
Thank you for reading this. |

Hi forumfan,
wpForo Top menu is a simple WordPress menu, please navigate to Dashboard > Appearance > Menu admin page and find menu called "wpForo Navigation (wpForo Menu)". You can add and remove any item you need. I attached screenshot.
Only wpForo specific menu items have url-shortcodes , here is the list of all menu item url-shortcodes:
/%wpforo-home%/
/%wpforo-members%/
/%wpforo-profile-home%/
/%wpforo-profile-account%/
/%wpforo-profile-activity%/
/%wpforo-profile-subscriptions%/
/%wpforo-register%/
/%wpforo-login%/
/%wpforo-logout%/

Hi! Thanks for the reply! 🙂
It should not be a memory problem; we have a VPS Cloud dedicated to our website with 8 GB of ram, and 512 MB of memory allocated to WP, which have never given us problems to execute any process. That is, it cannot be a problem with a server with low memory 🙂
My question is, if it can happen on any website, including servers with low memory, wouldn't it be good to have a maintenance option for force that action for all users? Or be able to select that value in the wpForo options? I don't think the best solution is to edit the functions.php file, since with each theme update this archive is updated, and it isn't a good idea to have to remember change this every time. Think that it can be happening to many websites with wpForo, without knowing what is happening to them. |

A Top Ten Widget?

One thing my users are asking for are top ten type of lists. They want to know who has the most posts or the most likes and whatnot. So I am suggesting that in a future version of wpForo is a Top Ten Widget.
A widget that you can show the top ten users of a particular stat. Posts, Likes, Dislikes, Points, Topics and the like.
Just a suggestion... |

Sidebar widgets display at top of mobile device

I managed to make some css to display the wpforo sidebar at the top of the page on mobile devices, I was wondering if anyone could help me develop it further such that I can pick specific widgets to display at the top, then choose which widgets go underneath the page content.
Would be really useful as I want the login widget in the sidebar to display above the page content, but I dont want to overcrowd the top of the page with the other widgets, so displaying them at the bottom would be good. At the moment I had to compromise and force the other widgets to go at the bottom by removing them from the sidebar and putting them underneath the forum content via a shortcode plugin.
Here is the css
@media (max-width: 768px) {.wpforo-main.wpft-forum {display: -webkit-box;display: -moz-box;display: -ms-flexbox;display: -webkit-flex;display: flex;-webkit-flex-flow: row wrap;flex-flow: row wrap;}
.wpforo-content {-webkit-box-ordinal-group: 2; -moz-box-ordinal-group: 2; -ms-flex-order: 2; -webkit-order: 2; order: 2;}}
Here is the forum I did it on: |

I know and I appreciated 🙂
Is that I cant be more clear as Im not understanding it myself LOL
Lets try this:
If you look into this very page at the very top, click in home icon:
And in the top look to the left
Unread post - forums - topics
- What are that "forums" and "topics" for?. When I click on them, happens the very same as happens to me. Please try it, click on it, see what happens after, and may you understand what I mean
What are these for? and why they dont work? Thanks 🙂
NO WAIT...... its not on this page... oh man its so confusing lol. Is there somewhere on the top left AND ALSO sometimes can be found an "RSS" (sometimes in the top right and other in the not so top-left) in which case, after pressed said word-link happens the very same thing. Either 3 of them take you a place which certainly its not working
And so sorry confusing you guys |

Thank you webauthor,
you're asking for moving wpForo top menu-bar template code to your current active theme's header.php file. There is no way to load wpForo template files in other pages, it's only being loaded on forum page. If you want to get wpForo top menu bar on top of whole website then it should be integrated in WordPress theme's header.php. wpForo provides with all possible ways to manage menus, but the change you're asking for is not a menu management, it's a template customization.
This can only be done by custom codding. You should copy the top bar code from wpForo theme's header.php and past in WordPress active theme's header.php. Also you should copy the top bar CSS code from wpForo style.css and past in WordPress active theme style.css file. This is the only way.
I'm sorry, but this is not an easy task, and can't be fully described here. |

wpForo Announcements |
| |
We're excited to announce the wpForo v2.0 stable version is released.
It's been one year since the last update! Thank you for your huge patience. Again, we apologize for this long delay. There were lots of interruptions, we didn't work for a long period because of three COVID waves and big holidays. wpForo 2 core is fully re-developed, so we created a brand-new forum plugin with improved existing features and plus lots of new ones.
IMPORTANT!
Please deactivate current addons or update them to 3.0.0 version before updating wpForo to 2.0.x
This is a major update with fully changed forum theme.
This update will remove forum template and CSS customizations.
After the update, please delete all caches and purge CDN if you have.
Please read the "Update to wpForo v2 Instruction" before updating the plugin.
Main Changes
Multi-Board System
Allows to create multiple separate forum boards in the same WordPress website. You can create fully separate forums in different pages. Description:
Multi-Language Support
Using the multi-board system, you can create multiple separate forums for each language of your website. Each forum will have separate forum page, categories, forums and threads, but users will be the same for all forum boards.
New Theme (2022) with Redesigned Layouts
wpForo v2 comes with new 2022 theme and with completely redesigned forum layouts and style. It brings a modern and clean look to all 4 forum layouts (Extended, Simplified, Q&A and Threaded). Description:
Extended Layout
Simplified layout
Question & Answer Layout
Threaded Layout
Topic Overview and Stat Panel
This is a small panel on the top of all topics, which provides lots of quick information about the topic. Different statistic information and a quick tree of the whole topic with discussion threads and nested replies in one place. This makes it very easy and fast to find the posts you need in the topic.
New Member Profile System
It's fully changed with new features and modern design, becoming sitewide profile system, so in most cases you won't need to use other profile builder plugins. Description:
New Dashboard Settings Page
We've re-grouped and re-designed wpForo settings, now it's very easy to find the option you want, also you can search options using the live search field. So, managing of your forum has become very easy and fast. Description:
Spam Protection
New Registered User Approval: this feature will keep new registered users inactive until they are not activated by forum administrate. It's disabled by default, you can manage this option in the Login & Registration admin page.
Minimum number of approved posts to be able to edit own profile: This is another great spam protection feature. In most cases spammers register and do their spam in the profile page, they create spam profile pages with lots of links and spam content. They use “About”, “Website” and “Signature” profile fields. This option will stop users editing their profile information unless they have more than the minimum number of approved posts. Thus, you can prevent creating of spam profile pages.

Strange jump down the screen when logged in...

I am having a strange issue. When a user is logged and visit certain WPForo pages on my forum, the screen jumps down below the header. But only when logged in. For guests, this behavior doesn't happen.
For instance on the Recent Posts Page...
Here is how the top of the page looks for Guests/Logged out users. You can see the entire top of the site and there is no automatic scroll.
Here is how the top of the page looks for Logged IN users. The top of the page becomes breadcrumb and you need to manually scroll up to see the main header/menu.
What could be causing something like this to happen? I am a bit baffled on it. (And sick of manually scrolling back up to get to the header/menu.) |

Hi @percysgrowroom,
I think you should use this plugin, put the widget before the shortcode in the forum page editor:
You should contact this plugin developers and ask them to help you to only show this widget on mobile pages.
Or you can put this code into the functions.php of your current active WordPress theme. This will add new sidebar in Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets admin page, so the widgets in this sidebar will be only displayed on the forum top area on mobile devices:
function wpforo_custom_sidebar() { register_sidebar( array( 'name' => __( 'Forum Top Mobile Sidebar', 'textdomain' ), 'id' => 'mobile-sidebar', 'description' => __( 'Widgets in this area will be shown on forum top for mobile only.', 'wpforo' ), 'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">', 'after_widget' => '</li>', 'before_title' => '<h2 class="widget-title">', 'after_title' => '</h2>', ) );}add_action( 'widgets_init', 'wpforo_custom_sidebar' );function wpforo_custom_sidebar_area() { if( function_exists('is_wpforo_page') && is_wpforo_page() ){ if ( !is_active_sidebar( 'mobile-sidebar' ) || !wp_is_mobile() ) return; echo '<div class="wpforo-top-sidebar">'; dynamic_sidebar( 'mobile-sidebar' ); echo '</div>'; }}add_action( 'wpforo_top_hook', 'wpforo_custom_sidebar_area' );
BTW, you can use Code Snippets plugin to add custom codes. |

Hi,
Please see:
I've tried to make the UI as simple as possible & I've disabled the top menu bar in WpForo. Please see screenshot.
I want to retain the search facility.
But I'm finding that the only way to have "search" is to enable "Top Menu".
Any way around this?
Thanks.
