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.
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. |

On migration from SP my Admin has lost all her posts

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!!! |

I have been using WP Dark Mode by WPPool for a few years. It's great site wide but you are correct about the text box. I have never been able to get the text box to work and gave up a long time ago.

@wpforo-support Thank you for the suggestions. I will try these potential fixes.
Also do you know any developers who are very famiiar with wpforo problems? Over the years, about 99 percent of the problems I have on my website involve wpforo. That is expected, my forum is large and somewhat busy, so I am not blaming the app, which I love. But most developers don't know how to figure out what is wrong. I
I need a developer who understands wpforo.com plugin and how it integrates with a wordpress website.
I would so appreciate finding someone who can help.

WPFORO insertion into home page with NewsMash Pro theme

Hello,
To start off, im an extremely green newb when it comes to WP. Been a sys admin for over thirty years and built a couple of web sites but im really on a sever learning curve with this.
Im trying to insert the wpforo latest posts on my frontpage but I cant seem to make it work with the NewsMash theme. No matter what way I try to insert into the home page, it keeps coming up in a column and not the page width. Ive tried making it a widget and then inserting it, I tried to edit a new template, I even got desperate that I tried using an ad inserter to put the code in and each time I end up making the site a mess. Can someone give me some pointers on doing this and make no assumptions I will know how to do everything so I can make this work? I would really appreciate it. Screen shot of the site attached.

RE: Members List - Export to csv?

Here is what I envision. A developer, or one of the people here who are very familiar with the database structure here, would compose an SQL query that would do the following:
Join the appropriate tables that would contain all the fields in the members list.
Select all the users
Display the fields that are in the members list, the sort doesn't matter, I'll do that in the csv or a spreadsheet.
Execute that query and let me export that list to a csv.
As a bonus, select all users more than 2 years since last login (or never) AND who have zero posts.
For those users add them to the usergroup "Flagged".
Execute that query and let me export that list to a csv.
Then I can modify that query to delete all those users after I review in a spreadsheet.
I would test this query in my mirror website before doing this in my main production website.
For someone familiar with the database tables, and with SQL, this shouldn't be that difficult or even time-consuming. I understand SQL and phpmyadmin I just don't have a mind to write code.
There is some implied context and knowledge, for example, there is no 'users' table with the 'wpforo' table prefix, so I assume it uses the Wordpress users tables (users and meta). But how is the wpforo ID related? IDK. How do you display the "Display Name", "Login", "Email"? And then display the wpforo info (I think) such as "Group", "Status", "Last Login", and "Forum Posts"? You have to 'join' the appropriate tables and I don't know all the relationships and contents (fields within the tables).
This is the secret sauce that I need someone to figure out and build the SQL query. It should be relatively easy for someone familiar but impossible for a mere mortal like me.
With tons of respect,

Members List - Export to csv?

I don't see any option to export the members list. Can someone build an SQL query I can run in phpmyadmin to export the entire members list to a csv file?
My goal is to review that list and modify the query to change the usergroup to "flagged" for any member who has not logged in within 2 years and has never posted. Once I have those in that usergroup, and do a final review, I would like to delete them all.
Is this a reasonable approach to cleaning out old members? |

Auto close topics after specified time period

I could not find a way to automatically close topics after a certain time period, so I'm suggesting the idea here.
One way to help initiate discussions in a community forum is by encouraging new topics to be created by the users. New topics get more attention, especially if you are sharing new topics in various social media channels. In my experience running a forum since 2010, if a user adds a post to an old topic from years ago, it doesn't get the attention that a brand new topic on the same subject would generate.
My suggestion would be to have settings for allowing topics to close after a specified time period. Even better, it would be great if that time period could be based upon the date of the last reply in the topic, rather than the original topic date. Perhaps there would be a secondary setting that would allow the admin to set the time period from the original topic date or the latest reply date.
For example: let's say a topic is started today, 2025-08-01 and is followed by several replies over the course of a week or so. The last reply is posted on 2025-08-09. A couple of example scenarios could be:
Set the auto-close date to 1 year after the original topic date. This would mean that the topic closes on 2026-08-01.
Set the auto-close date to 1 year after the last reply date. This would mean that the topic closes on 2026-08-09.
Using example scenario #2 above would allow the topic to prove its staleness for one year after the last reply, thus making it feasible to close it permanently.
Thank you for your consideration! 😊 |

Header Block vs Standard Header on Kadence Theme when using wpForo

How-to and Troubleshooting |

I have been using the standard Kadence Theme header on my site for a few years now. The wpForo links within the menu work great. But now I am wanting to use the Kadence Block Header that is build a bit different. I have it built on my staging site, but I am having problems with wpForo menu shortcodes for menu links.
For instance on my current site using the old school theme menu, the login link (and other wpForo dynamic links) will properly populate the /%wpforo-login%/ dynamic link. So that link will look like this on the live site.
But on my staging site in my attempt to use the Kadence Header Block instead of the standard menu, the /%wpforo-login%/ dynamic link does not populate and the link ends up looking like this.
This obviously bring a user to a page that gives a 404 Bad Request error.
So I thought I would start here and see if there is anything I can do on the wpForo side. Has anyone troubleshooted a Block Header vs a standard WP header? The Kadence Block Header allows much more customization vs the standard one which is why I would love to use it.
Thoughts?

Is it possible to have 2 seperate forums embeded in completely different style pages?

I am trying to create 2 separate forums for two completely separate membership levels. I need to embed each forum inside the page for each level as each one has it's own style and navigation menu.
I have created the 2 forums and 2 different usergroups. I can get each forum to display for each level. BUT when you click any, and I do mean anything, from profile links to posts, you leave the member level styled page layout and go to the plain default forum style page (which in this case is pretty blank with minimal navigation).
I tried using boards instead of forums but when you click on anything that way you go to a totally blank screen.
Is what I am trying to do not possible with WPforo? If it is walk me through it like I am 5 years old. I have been fighting with this for a week.
Do you need more info? Just ask. I am begging here. Please help me or tell me it can't be done. |
