Hi @saurabhthareja,
All is correct. The RSS links are not for showing unread topics and posts. RSS links are for RSS reader bots and they display XML content. The "Unread Posts" link has no relation to RSS links they are separate links and they are working in different ways.
In other words all works fine and work as designed. You don't need to use the RSS links, they are not for users. They exist only for RSS fead readers and bots. They contains recent topics and posts, they don't show unread posts. |

wpForo Announcements |
| |
We're excited to announce the wpForo v2.0 stable version is released.
It's been one year since the last update! Thank you for your huge patience. Again, we apologize for this long delay. There were lots of interruptions, we didn't work for a long period because of three COVID waves and big holidays. wpForo 2 core is fully re-developed, so we created a brand-new forum plugin with improved existing features and plus lots of new ones.
IMPORTANT!
Please deactivate current addons or update them to 3.0.0 version before updating wpForo to 2.0.x
This is a major update with fully changed forum theme.
This update will remove forum template and CSS customizations.
After the update, please delete all caches and purge CDN if you have.
Please read the "Update to wpForo v2 Instruction" before updating the plugin.
Main Changes
Multi-Board System
Allows to create multiple separate forum boards in the same WordPress website. You can create fully separate forums in different pages. Description:
Multi-Language Support
Using the multi-board system, you can create multiple separate forums for each language of your website. Each forum will have separate forum page, categories, forums and threads, but users will be the same for all forum boards.
New Theme (2022) with Redesigned Layouts
wpForo v2 comes with new 2022 theme and with completely redesigned forum layouts and style. It brings a modern and clean look to all 4 forum layouts (Extended, Simplified, Q&A and Threaded). Description:
Extended Layout
Simplified layout
Question & Answer Layout
Threaded Layout
Topic Overview and Stat Panel
This is a small panel on the top of all topics, which provides lots of quick information about the topic. Different statistic information and a quick tree of the whole topic with discussion threads and nested replies in one place. This makes it very easy and fast to find the posts you need in the topic.
New Member Profile System
It's fully changed with new features and modern design, becoming sitewide profile system, so in most cases you won't need to use other profile builder plugins. Description:
New Dashboard Settings Page
We've re-grouped and re-designed wpForo settings, now it's very easy to find the option you want, also you can search options using the live search field. So, managing of your forum has become very easy and fast. Description:
Spam Protection
New Registered User Approval: this feature will keep new registered users inactive until they are not activated by forum administrate. It's disabled by default, you can manage this option in the Login & Registration admin page.
Minimum number of approved posts to be able to edit own profile: This is another great spam protection feature. In most cases spammers register and do their spam in the profile page, they create spam profile pages with lots of links and spam content. They use “About”, “Website” and “Signature” profile fields. This option will stop users editing their profile information unless they have more than the minimum number of approved posts. Thus, you can prevent creating of spam profile pages.

ok, the on circled in read "cannabis growers forum" is the page the plug in made today
I have taken the code of the old page ( circled in blue, now called cannabis growing forum)) and added it to this new page until i can get the old on working again
SO it looks the same and it works.
But look at the links!!!!! in the circles
The new one, in red, only has around 60.
The original page, in blue, has 1176 incoming links
I have changed the urls of both pages, but the links coming into the page number isn't changing. It seems as if when i change the url of the older one, in blue, the links that link to it get changed too.
SO even though all of those links used to point to "percysgrowrom.com/forum" they do not now.
Other wise they would be pointing at the new page. in red.

We just released wpForo 1.7.0 middle version!
Mostly this version includes major changes in core architecture. wpForo is well optimized and made more flexible for future development. The future versions development will be easier and faster. Lots of hooks are added too.
Almost all addons are improved with new major functions. We're currently preparing those to release...
Important update notes
Some JS and CSS files are changed, please refresh (press Ctrl+F5) on forum front-end twice to reset browser cache, otherwise you'll see crashed design.
If you have a Cache or Minifier/Optimizer plugins please delete all caches after wpForo update.
If you use CDN and found some issue please purge it.
Forum template files are modified. The modifications were made in layout files to add "jump to unread post" functionality. Also, the header.php is modified and added User Notification Bell in the menu bar section. If you have an old customized copies of forum template files in your WP theme /wpforo/ folder please update those.
Main Changes
1. In Forum Notification
Finally, we added in forum user notification system. This is the first version so it'll be actively improved with new features in upcoming versions. Currently, it notifies for:
- New reply in your topic
- New reply / quote to your post
- New like to your post
- New up / down vote to your post
2. My Profile and Notifications Widget
In case you've disabled forum menu bar with the Notification Bell you still have an option to get forum notifications using My Profile and Notifications widget. If you use the notification bell in Menu bar you can disable the bell in widget using widget options.
This widget is very flexible. All components can be disabled. For guests this widget displays [login] and [registration] buttons with different widget title. You can change widget titles too. Also, you can fully disable this widget for guests and keep it only for logged-in users.
3. Jump to the First Unread Post
This function is directly added in topic links by default. All topic links on forum home page, on forums list and topics list are already enabled to refer you to your first unread post. Just make sure you're logged-in.
Another way to let people see unread posts is showing [new] indicator next to topic titles.
This [new] indicator can be a link to first unread post or a simple indicator. It depends on the corresponding options in Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Features admin page.

Hi @jcardona .
The steps I typed up here in this article
And here in this article
might apply to your situation. You can try it.
The problem is that when a user clicks on a topic (or any link really) on the forum, they're taken to the forum page-- so all the info and links are gone.
You can check each link "URL" and "Link Text" to see the actual codes there, (using the "Insert Edit Link" Icon) for example, it might have the direct link to your forum, like " / community / " when it should have been / community / forum1/ topic 1"
Good luck and God bless you! 🙂 |
