Of course, while I was posting it offered me the "avatar by URL" tag, so I dug and found Adding this to Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Styles > Custom CSS Code solved this by hiding the option from view for users. Thanks! .wpf-field-wrap > ul > li:nth-child(2) { display: none !important;}

We're realizing that we're getting mixed content warnings from Google because some users have put HTTP URLs in the "Specify Avatar by URL" field. Is there a way to force them to only use HTTPS here? Or, perhaps even better: is there a way to ONLY allow uploads and not allow avatars by URL?

Hi, Please check out this documentation: Additionally, check out this support topic the same question is discussed there: Can we automatically subscribe people to forum activity summaries? I know we can subscribe people to their own posts by default, but the issue is we expect a very low activity board, and because it's a private board, people won't check it on a regular basis. I would like to be able to notify users periodically if there are new posts they haven't seen - otherwise they will forget to check and miss advertised opportunities. Not spammy instant notifications, just a weekly summary. Please read my answer here: Can we turn off member profiles? Or minimise their contents? Private messages would be useful and I can see there is an add-on for it, but I don't like the fact the profile page is full of the user's stats. We want a very subtle and private board, all these stats are unnecessary and even show information we don't want to have shared about people (for example it shows how many blog posts my account has, which is nothing to do with the forum anyway). I don't just mean the navigation item, I know it can be removed from the menu, but you can still click onto a profile through a post and see all this stuff. Use the permissions shown on the screenshot bellow. This method can be used to hide members for certain usergroups. In that example you can hide members for Guest Usergroup. Also, you can hide all members of certain usergroup for all users, and remove from the members page using the "Display on Members List" option in edit Usergroup screen. And the last way, is just removing the Members Menu from the forum menu. Forum menu is a simple WordPress menu. Here is the doc: I know I can amend items on the menu, but how can I change the alignment so the items are aligned to the right? Also, why does the menu disappear when you visit a user profile? Please provide the URL where we can see the issue. In the member profile settings I can change the default profile cover image, why is there no option to change the default avatar? You can choose one of WordPress avatars for users in the Dashboard > Settings > Discussions admin page. When you turn off topic statistics and overview, it leaves too much white space between the title and the first post. If you provide us the URL we'll provide the CSS solution for you, Is it possible to configure separate SMTP information from the rest of WordPress? Our forum emails are being handled by the same email handler that does our marketing contact form and we need separation for the email address and mailbox from name, otherwise it will cause confusion. The email settings "From name" and "From email address" are not currently being respected. wpForo emails is based on WordPress email sending functions, so you just need to install and configure WP Mail SMTP for your WordPress website.

Hello, dear developers! I have four questions: 1. Tell me, please, how can I speed up the loading of long topics? For example, this topic: There are more than 230 posts in it, the topic is divided into 3 pages, forum caching is enabled and still the page loads for about 18-20 seconds.The site runs on 2 vps servers:The site is located on the server: Xeon E5-2696v4 2.2-3.7, 16 cores, 8 GB RAM. Server configuration for the database: Xeon E5-2696v4 2.2-3.7, 6 cores, 16 GB RAM.SSD drives are everywhere.It seems that there should be enough power The LSCache caching plugin is installed on the site, the forum pages are added to the caching exception.If you cache the forum with this plugin, then long topics start loading quickly, but after posting a post, due to LSCache caching, it is displayed on the forum with a long delay, approximately 10 minutes. Maybe there is some way to make friends with your Forum with the LSCache caching plugin? ------------------- 2. Perhaps part of the problem of long loading of long topics could be solved if you split long topics into pages in the settings according to the total number of topics on the page. I have now set up the number of topics on the page to 25, but as I understand it, these are 25 topics of the first level, and if the forum has a tree structure with 2, 3, 4, 5 levels, then the page turns out to be long and heavy to load. The topics do not shrink nicely at the same time. Example: ------------------- 3. In some topics, as in these:- for unknown reasons, the sidebar is shifting down the page. How can I fix it? ------------------- 4. It would be very good in terms of seo optimization, when adding a new post on the forum, in the sitemap file, move the updated topics to the latest file and display the most recent topics at the top of the list, not at the bottom, as it is now. An example of our latest sitemap fileThere are a lot of new posts on the forum in different topics, but in the sitemap the last link to the topic is old. How then do search engines find out about new posts on the forum?Perhaps for this reason, topics with your forum are poorly indexed in search engines?The "Rank math seo" plugin has a good sitemap logic, when updating articles and news on the site, they are moved to a new sitemap file and are at the top of the list. Is it possible to convert a forum sitemap into a "Rank math seo" plugin? The new version of WPForo 2.3.0 is installed

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.)

@lelaurier We'll check and get back to you soon.

Hi, Please attach a screenshot of the email content and let us know how the file is attached. Are you using the wpForo Advanced Attachments add-on? Also, please provide a screenshot of the related post.

Let's see if i can replicate an issue here also. If not i will delete this topic. If i can replicate the bug, i will post below the details. Thanks

ok, in Hosting Service cPanel > phpMyAdmin Database manager please open the wp_wpforo_forums table and make sure it is not empty.

They were displayed there before deleting the cache, but after that they disappeared

Hi @hardisson, Could you please let us know are the forums exist in Dashboard > forums admin page?

wpForo doesn't have any hard coded URLs. If you just changed your website protocol you should navigate to Dashboard > Forums > Dashboard admin page and click on [Delete all caches] button. Then delete other plugin caches, press Ctrl+f5 on forum front and test it again.

Menu link in the forum work fine, but links to boards and messages all have "http://" hard coded, should be changed to just "//" to adopt sites protocol or use WP's root url value.
