Hi there How to add more fields in the wpForo form for Adding a new topic?E.g. when users post a new topic I want them to select a value from a drop-down. Thanks.

Thanks @Alvina, The plugin you recommend works! 🙂 Which is exciting so many long hours and plugins I've tried... However the problem is the plugin you recommended ( is currently flagged because it "hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress" of course not your problem. Sooooo I went back to the and found a workaround with the help of a dev friend to troubleshoot why this keeps happening. The "New-user-approve" plugin code looks for a "redirect_to" value with the registration data sent. Else it goes to > wp_safe_redirect( $_POST['redirect_to'] which doesn't work because I'm not using the WP login screen to fall back on. Here's the New-User-approve plugin code in question that I believe is causing the blank screen issue found in their SVN file if ( ! empty( $_POST['redirect_to'] ) ) { // if a redirect_to is set, honor it wp_safe_redirect( $_POST['redirect_to'] ); exit(); } Since I'm using the WPForo registration form it only passes new user input value information it doesn't include a value for the redirect_to function that the plugin uses hence the user goes to a completely blank screen. (Side note: yes I tested the custom redirect in the settings wpforo however it still has the same blank screen result because the plugin is looking for the values for "redirect_to" from the form POST. Solution aka "workaround" is to pass the redirect_to value through the form in a hidden html input field of the registration form with the redirect_to values included see example <input type="hidden" id="custId" name="redirect_to" value="url of redirect page"> This of course requires the custom field addon to accomplish. I'm not a dev but I was wondering if you all had any other thoughts on this other than this band aid fix? Also I think this would be a great candidate for a future addon that just works with your plugin more seamlessly. It's important to give admins the ability to approve / deny new users first before allowing them to access the form.

Hello, Not sure where to post this so I thought I'd post here This may relate to my use a custom field plug in. I am not sure. Goal. I want to properly organize how my Custom fields appear on the front side 0f Member Cards. I only want a couple of my Custom User fields to show on the Member Card on the front side while people are scrolling through the search. I want to remove the field labels and keep the layout quiet and professional while keeping all other data visible only inside the profile. The Problem. I am using the Advanced Member Search in Filter mode. I have adjusted the settings in the settings box to choose which Custom fields show on the Member Cards. I have also clicked Index Member fields. However the Member Cards are not updating. They are still showing every field label and extra statistics like Post Counts and Join Dates which I have tried to turn off. What I have tried.One. I reindexed the Member fields multiple times to try and refresh the Member Cards.Two. I cleared all wpForo caches and refreshed the WordPress permalinks.Three. I tried using CSS to clean up the labels and statistics on the Member Cards but they are not responding to the code.Four. I toggled between Search and Filter modes but the old layout remains stuck on the screen. Question. Since my settings and my CSS are being ignored by the Member Cards is there a specific database table or a cache file for the Advanced Member Search that is preventing these changes from showing up. How can I force the Member Cards to reflect the changes I make to my Custom fields in the dashboard.

@robert Thank you for your explanation Yes, I know and I read the activation system, But Our web site traffic is not too much and I think those robots fill that form very easy When I disable the option: Enable User registration email confirmation, Those robots can't fill the registration form and it seems Recaptcha works great on the normal form including password I like to have users with email confirmation, But it seems Recaptcha doesn't work properly on the form of USERNAME & EMAIL registration, However it displays the Recaptcha but it seems robots can bypass that and the server sends many email to filled email addresses which is not good I know there are many powerful robots but I think this is not that case, Because those robots can't fill the normal registration form and our web site traffic is not heavy too

You'll need wpForo Users Custom fields addon to make it possible. After reading and understanding Usergroups and Secondary Usergroups you should follow to this instruction: Then create for example two Secondary Usergroups (SG1 and SG2) for two forums (F1 and F2) Set "No Access" for SG2 and"Standard Access" for SG1 in F1 forum Set "No Access" for SG1 and "Standard Access" for SG2 in F2 forum Install the User Custom fields addon, navigate to Dashboard > Forums >  Member fields > Field Manager Tab, edit the Secondary Usergroups field and only enable the SG1 and SG2 usergroups. Then go to Dashboard > Forums >  Member fields > registration form Tab and add the Secondary Usergroup field. After these steps the registration from will show groups in a dropdown. People select whichever they want to participate and register. So they automatically get correct Secondary Usergroup and correct access to the forums. Important Notes: If you want to totally hide F1 for SG2 or vice versa you should use the "No Access", if you just want to prevent SG2 users to open a topic or post reply just use the "Read Only" access. Also, the same "No Access" or the "Read Only" access should be given to other non-moderator usergroups, such as "Registered", "Customers", "Guests".

Hi @wandern, - Does WordPress/BuddyPress have different Login/Register pages than wpForo or can i use/combine to have only 1 user-registration / login form for WordPress/BuddyPress and wpForo? wpForo is the same WordPress registration page with different design and URL. If you'd like to use the login/registration form provided by BuddyPress plugins you can insert those pages URLs in according authorization fields of Forums > Settings > Members admin page. This replaces wpForo login/registration pages with the BuddyPress pages. More info here: What is the standard user role when a user is registering at the wpForo forum on my website? can i change this user-role? By default, it is "Registered" Usergroup, you can change it from Dashboard > Forums > Usergroups admin page. See the screenshot. Does WordPress/BuddyPress have different Profile pages for users or is there any combined Profile page for BuddyPress and wpForo users? Yes by default the BuddyPress and wpForo profile pages are different. However, wpForo is well integrated with the BuddyPress plugin: BuddyPress | Forums Menu BuddyPress | Profile Tab Forums > Create forum topics, BuddyPress | Profile Tab Forums > Posted forum replies, BuddyPress | Profile Tab Forums > Liked Posts, BuddyPress | Profile Tab Forums > Subscriptions, BuddyPress | Notification Integration, BuddyPress | Update Activity on post status changing You can also replace the wpForo profile with BuddyPress one using the Replace Forum Profile with BuddyPress Profile option. The option is located in Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Features admin page.
