As you said, for the past two years people have been asking for live notification and complained about the missing roadmap - any serious company has one. For two years, they respond with the copy / paste "it's on our to-do list, next version etc." and do not care at all about the concept of a roadmap. Draw your own conclusions.

@jdobbsy1987 I understand but Roberts message was over 2 years ago, i thought 2 years might of got you closer to "near future" We do all our best to improve wpForo as much as possible. However, adding this feature may spend server resources, so it'll be not useful for other users of the wpForo.  Started from the wpForo 1.6.2 version, we've added the feature that prevents closing window or tab if topic/post editor is not empty.  So there is a little chance to lose the content user added in the post editor.

@sofy I understand but Roberts message was over 2 years ago, i thought 2 years might of got you closer to "near future" Shame it's not on your roadmap, would be helpful.

Well, wpForo is a free plugin, everybody is welcome to test and evaluate it. I did so, two years ago. Nobody forces anyone to use it. Second, wpForo is lacking features compared to what ? wpForo is STILL a Wordpress plugin and not a standalone forum script. Finally most PHP forums are 10 or 15 years old and wpForo is still young. My view is that people spend their time with technical matters (SEO for example) and not how to promote their forums. I say that because i do know some prehistoric forums scripts that are used with huge success still today.

Hi Sofy. Thanks for the response and advice, however I'm probably being stupid but I cannot see how I would use the go2wpforo tool to merge my two wpForo sites into one. The tool only has options for migrating from other platforms to wpForo ( see below) not wpforo to wpforo. < span style="color: #666;"> Attachment : go2two.jpg Just to confirm what I'm trying to achieve. I have two wordpress installations with two Wpforo forums, I need to merge them into one forum. Both exist on the same pro hosted server. I would like the newly migrated site (site 1) merged into the one I started two years ago (site 2). Data below. Details Site 1 : This is the site was migrated yesterday from PHPbb3 to WpForowww.vrat.co.ukRunning on wordpress 4.9.8running Wpforo 1.5.3This site has 67.7K posts, 4,312 topics Site 2 : This is the Wpforo site I've been running for the last two years. I want the site above merged into this one.www.Radios-TV.co.ukRunning on wordpress 4.9.8running Wpforo 1.5.3running wpforo plugins: advanced attachments, Ads manager, custom fields, cross posting, embeds and pollsThis site has 18.5K posts. 1.408 topics Or are you saying I need to run the migration again? That I should install the go2wpforo tool on site 2 (www.radio-tv.co.uk) and migrate the phpbb3 forum directly into it. That it will not cause any problems with existing content. Sorry If I'm not understanding, if you can help to explain a little further it would really help.

Hi Team We have had Simple:Press installed for over 7 years and it's time to freshen it up! So we migrated to WPForo, which looks stunning. However there a few problems: 1. My main forum moderator/admin is an expert in her field and has made over 6,000 post replies to topic questions. But these posts seem to have been assigned to other people. I am an admin too, and I seem to have inherited over 3,000 posts, which I did not make. I need her to look like the authority she is, and have all her posts assigned to her, especially all the replies she made (she has replied to 99% of the topics created.) 2. My second expert moderator cannot even be found when I search Members. He has made over 3,300 posts, but none are credited to him. 3. My highest posting member is nowhere to be found. 3. There are no views on any of the 12,000+ topics. Why are there no views? 4. The last reply my expert moderator made was just a few days ago, but I can't find any posts from her that are newer than "2 years ago". So I followed this advice of yours: Please try to delete User cache, navigate to Dashboard > Forums > Dashboard admin page, click on [Update Users Statistic] button then [Delete Users Cache] button But it didn't change anything. We have no caching plugins. Please advise. Thanks, Graeme

For almost four years I was using SimplePress years until it was completely unstable. A year ago I turn off it, and installed phpBB with a premium bridge, but still have not activated because it has some big problems with user management, integration with my WordPress theme, etc. And then, the miracle happened and you have launched this fantastic plugin forums 🙂 I want to get to migration, but I have a couple of questions. Will it work well with tens of thousands of imported from SimplePress messages? I've seen that sometimes goes a little slower these support forums, especially I want to offer my users speed. I have seen that a user had a problem update, we recommended erase everything and reinstall. Do you think I should wait for a more stable serves or advanced version? I use W3 Total Cache, any special configuration must be performed? Crossposting be activated in the future as addon? I'm very interested. Thanks!!!

@sofy You have miscalculated. The posts and topics are the same thing. The person has created 16 topics and has never made any comments. It is your counting system that counted it that way. Your counting system counts topics and replies as posts. The layout type I use is "threaded" The code I am using is the one your admin shared here on this forum. The popular PHP code shared several years ago.

Hi gazalis, That's an interesting observation about your community's focus over the past three years. It sounds like you've been hoping to build engagement around creative disciplines like graphic design, photography, and art, but haven't seen the community discussions develop in that direction. This is actually a common challenge many niche communities face—sometimes the audience just doesn't materialize as expected, or the community needs some strategic adjustments to attract the right members. Based on what you're describing, here are some steps you might consider to help revitalize engagement in these creative areas: Audit your community guidelines and structure: Make sure your forum categories, guidelines, and pinned posts clearly reflect that graphic design, photography, and art discussions are welcome and encouraged. Sometimes members simply don't realize what topics are on-topic. Seed content with your own posts: Start creating discussion threads yourself—share your own work, ask specific questions about techniques, or create themed discussion prompts (like "Share your latest photography project" or "What's your go-to design software?"). Reach out to your existing members: Since you have some activity (based on the metrics shown), consider directly inviting members who have engaged before to participate in creative discussions. Personal invitations can be surprisingly effective. Promote in relevant spaces: Share your community in places where designers, photographers, and artists already gather—whether that's other forums, social media groups, or communities focused on creative work. Establish regular events or challenges: Monthly photo challenges, design critiques, or art showcases can create recurring reasons for people to visit and participate. What kind of response have you gotten when you've tried to initiate these creative discussions? Are members simply not interested, or do you think they just haven't seen the opportunity to join in?

Hi, 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

It is not the migration tool changing the dB as it imports correctly from the same file after you delete the tables. The changes therefore must be done by WPforo Also the repair function was tried after the initial migration and it did not work. Servmask All in one WP Migration is one of the most common and popular migration tools out there. I have used it for many years and it's always worked perfectly with all plugins. May I respectfully suggest you get a copy and do some testing.

I have been using WPforo for about 5 years now with no apparent problems, although I had noticed the site seemed to be getting a bit slower. The other day my host said I must reduce rows in database as there was over a million, which is their limit. We did this. Then, a couple of days ago they said "the account is still using a much higher amount of CPU than most of the accounts on the server with similar traffic, so additional optimization should be done." I have been trying to look into this and saw that there were far more visitors than I would expect, up to 5.6k some days. So today I added CloudFlare. Now I have just received an email from host saying that "the resource usage for this account is not only high, but has increased." I have no idea why it is increasing. They say my choices are "to either remove the WPForo plugin or move the account to a proper hosting environment immediately." It is a non-profit site run as a hobby and there is no way a VPS can be afforded. Is there anything I can do?  

I have a board setup on a page with a slug /forum/. For some reason, wpForo keeps creating a new page with the slug /community/. I delete it, and another one takes its place. I delete it, and another takes its place. Over and over. The board is on a page built with Bricks, and is inserted by adding the shortcode in a Bricks shortcode module. I have verified that the pageid in the Board settings matches the ID of the page with the /forum/ slug. I've tried deleting the /community/ page, switching it to draft, scheduling it for publication 100 years in the future, etc. Nothing seems to work. The moment it is anything other than published and active, a new takes its place – /community-2/, /community-3/, etc. I'm not running a caching plugin, and I have wpForo caching disabled. Any ideas as to what could be causing this and how to fix it?
