The answer is very simple. Because email content is not a Post content. it should be secure and clean. This will help emails to pass more antispam systems of Email servers. The default WordPress emails doesn't have HTML tags, we added a few secure tags (formatting tags and link).

@mithun, I think you mean Topic tags, not HTML tags. We've not included topic tags in the sitemap. The tags are only for grouping topics and for helping people find their preferred topics easier and faster.

Hi @motorhype, This is the topic tags. If you want to disable topic tags then it'll be disabled from everywhere, even from topic form editor, so you'll not use topic tags. The option is located in the Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Topics & Posts Tab. It's called "Enable Topic tags". As an alternative you can hide that bar using CSS code, this will also hide Topic Viewers and Related topics, all these data are located in that bar: #wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpforo-topic-footer{ display:none; }

Hi @themag, Starting from wpForo 1.5.2 version, wpForo has a built-in Topic tags feature. Topic tags allow users to filter between forums and display topics with a specific topic tag. If topic tagging is enabled, when a user creates a topic they have the ability to add specific tags to quickly explain what a post is about and it also helps users find related topics based on those tags. More info here:

You just need to click on Edit button of the first topic post and change tags in tag field. Please press Ctrl+F5 on your forum front-end to load new JS files and CSS files and delete all caches. Without that you'll not see new tag field on edit topic screen.

I thought I cleared all the caches but missed purging my CDN! Seems to be working now! I would still love to see a bulk edit feature 😉

Did some testing finding WPF 1.7.4 user signatures with br html tags that under WPF 1.7.4 make them appear on separate lines would appear on WPF 2.4.13 on a consecutive line, even though they appear correctly in the wpforo_profiles db table. ie: WPF 1.7.4 signature line1 line2 line3 WPF 2.4.13 signature line1 line2 line3 When you have 1000s of users, this change in appearance completely mucks up my forum post views. I wasn't able to locate the code responsible for this during a limited testing time window, so aborted the WPF 2.4.13 upgrade due to it ...

Sorry, I don't see where I can edit the tags. Is it on the topic itself or on the admin side? Also, when importing from Simple:Press I don't see any tags option (see attached image) < span style="color: #666;"> Attachment :  simple.png

I want to make it possible to put tags in posts like titles, links, and other markup. I allowed the tags themselves, but they don’t work.

@lux Use this CSS code: #wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpf-tags a {background-color: #011935;} #wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpf-tags a:before{ border-color: transparent #011935 transparent transparent; }

@wanderingrayven, I'm sorry, but the Topic Prefix cannot turn the tag inserting field to a dropdown or to a select only field. The tag field cannot work only in selecting mode, if it's enabled it'll allow inserting new tags or select existing tags. You could use the "Multi-choice Autocomplete" field type of the wpForo Topic Custom FIelds addon. It allows creating new custom fields in the topic form to let users select multiple predefinded values without allowing them to insert new one. The custom field can be added in the forum search form as well: ...
