Hello. I have a question, can anyone advise me what the problem could be. Something has changed on my forum, which I have been using for years, in the last 2 months. My opinion is that it must be something related to the update. I have the current version of Wpforo, and also WordPress (I think the WP Embeds addon is out of date, my license has expired, but that probably won't be the problem).
The thing is that in the last 2 months, when creating a topic or adding a reply, it often happens that the post is doubled and the reply and topic are created twice. Also, after adding a reply, the forum takes a very long time to load, and I usually have to refresh the page to get it to load at all.
At the same time, email notifications after adding replies to me, the administrator, and also to members, because some of them wrote to me.
Thanks in advance for any tips or ideas. |

Users cannot attach PDFs

Hi WPForo,
Users are unable to attach PDFs in WPForo on my site even though they are part of the Registered usergroup, which, through Standard access, has the ability to upload files checked. I have searched through all of WPForo's settings, accesses, and usergroups without seeing anything about allowing PDF uploads. I ran into this problem a couple of years ago and had it solved through WPForo's Accesses and Usergroups pages, but those seem to have changed and now there is nowhere to see which file types are permitted for the usergroups. I have already tried checking the global setting on WP with the User Role Editor plugin, but there was no section for WPForo specifically.
Can you please direct me on how to allow users to upload PDFs in WPForo specifically? The documentation on User Role Editor is not helpful in this regard as I need to allow for WPForo in particular. When I corrected this in the past, I did NOT have to change any global settings, only WPForo ones. Thanks! |

Insert picture feature

Currently I am running a website that is only hosting a Simple Machines Forum. I want to migrate this to a Wordpress site with a forum attached to it.
One of the main downsides of the SMF (and a highly requested feature to add!) is the lack of user friendliness in adding pictures to a post! The users have to add a picture as attachment and then other users can click on it to open it.
In the best case a user knows how to upload a picture to some image website, get the URL from that and add the URL to the post. That way embedding the picture in the post.
It would be really nice to have forum in which I can directly upload pictures, so they get inserted in the forum post. Or even better: drag and drop a picture from another app (in Android/iOS) or from Windows Explorer (in Windows) directly to the post.
Yesterday, I did a search here on the forum and found posts of about round 2016. I cannot imagine this has not been added in almost 10 years of requesting it.
What are my options here? |

@sofy @owork138 I have gone over the link. The only option difference is i have disabled members profile. I have also resubmitted the site map. Can google read the threaded forums? Its been over 2 years now so not a new forum. I am checking with SEO spider and it gives a high warning for missing return links.

The following topic was closed 3 years ago but there is still very much a need for it:
At the time @robert mentioned such an email system within Wordpress was impossible but a lot has changed since then (although I think it could've been done back then as well) especially with Fluent SMTP and other mailing server plugins.
@vinnyusestrict you mentioned you were working on a solution. I take it you shelved that idea? |

Newly added forums or topics or posts will not been seen until admin pushes the updates on "Overview" page in backend. That sucks. How to solve this fundamental issue with this plugin? You can't just hire someone to push the update manually and constantly. That would be way too crazy. I saw this issue posted in the FAQ 2 years ago. How come this basic thing is still lingering? Anyone have a quick-fix? |

Found this post from 7 years ago:
And was wondering if this had been updated (or if we can update with a code snippet)?
When I unsubscribe from an email link in this forum I still get redirected to the home page instead of the subscription settings. |

You may have seen a previous topic here from me about my surveyors community. We were on wpForo for a few years and it worked great. Due to requests from many of my community members, we moved to BuddyBoss about a year ago and that was a huge mistake. We had many more requests to please take us back to wpForo. So, we are back and very happy about it!
I'm still working on some details, like what to do with the homepage, and some miscellaneous non-wpForo pages, but the forum is back up and running.
It's good to be back again! |

Hi, I have set the WordPress time zone to Argentina and checked the box in the forum config, but if I'm logged in it shows the time zone correctly, but if I'm a guest without being logged in, it shows UTC, how can I fix this?
I saw that there are other topics from +2 years ago that were going to be fixed in the next update but the problem still persists.Thanks. |

Hello, I have seen some other topics requesting this many years ago but cannot find if there was ever a solution.
I am looking for a way that an admin/moderator can mark & highlight a topic response as important. Similar in functionality to the way in the Q&A forum you can check off an approved answer - but for all layouts.
For example in an extended/simplified layout we could have a discussion and a moderator may see a response that is very helpful and mark it / pin it to the top to bring extra attention to it.
Or even in the Q/A layout is it possible to bring more attention to the approved answer?
Thanks! |

I didn't realize a user could delete themselves. I have had a couple users do this over the years... it leaves a ghost in the forum.
These is an example here:
This user deleted their account. This had the affect of changing their name to "Anonymous 9268" as shown. However, the account is unclickable and also inaccessible from the backend.
Is there is a way to toggle off this option? Thanks! |

Thanks. @tutrix
That works fine for this specific issue, but since posting I have found similar issues elsewhere with the dark style.
I also found that the classic template seems to fix the issue as well, but I prefer the current template. I'll just dig into it and apply the same solution to other areas as well.
The real underlying issue seems to be that the dark style has several poorly thought out color choices along with the default choices that can't be changed on the Colors & Styles page. I can live with it and make it work, but it would be nice if all of the colors worked together properly.
Again, thanks for your help.
BTW, I love your website, but my German is very rusty. I only studied it for a year in school which was almost 50 years ago. Time to pull out the German dictionary. |
