I would appreciate it if someone could help me.

Before I upgrade to the new version, I just want to make 100% sure: 

Can you please confirm that the "Recent Topics Widget" in the new version STILL includes the option of "RANDOM"? 

Many thanks,

Lucky

I am using PeepSo for user profiles on my website, so I do not need the profile editing functionality provided by wpForo.

I would like users to use PeepSo exclusively for their profile and account information. Therefore, I would like to completely disable or hide the profile editing options in wpForo.

Is there a setting in wpForo to disable the following options?

• Edit Account Information
• Edit User in Dashboard
• Any other profile/account editing options provided by wpForo

I would like to keep the wpForo user profiles themselves functional, but users should not be able to edit their profile information through wpForo.

Is there a recommended setting, hook or filter for this?

Thank you!

I would like to know if there is a way for a user to mark all new/unread posts in the forum as read at once.

Currently, users can mark individual topics/posts as read, but I would like to have an option such as “Mark all as read”, so that all currently unread content is marked as read with one click.

Is this feature available in wpForo? If so, where can I enable it?

If there is no built-in option, is there a recommended way to add this functionality?

Thank you!

I would like to completely disable all email notifications sent by wpForo to regular users.

My goal is that users do not receive any emails from wpForo, including:

• New posts in subscribed topics
• New topics in subscribed forums
• User mentions (@username)
• User following notifications
• Any other forum subscription or notification emails

I have already disabled the following options under Email Settings:

• Notify Admins via Email on New Topic → No
• Notify Admins via Email on New Post → No

However, these settings only affect administrators.

I also checked Subscriptions & Mentioning, but I cannot find an option to completely disable email notifications for regular users.

Is there a setting or recommended method to completely disable all wpForo emails to users while keeping the forum itself fully functional?

I am using the latest version of wpForo.

Thank you!

For a WordPress forum that allows YouTube tutorial, support, or community videos, I would separate the embed problem from the text problem:

1. wpForo or the embeds add-on handles whether the video appears correctly.
2. A short human-written summary helps members decide whether to watch.
3. If the YouTube video exposes usable captions or subtitles, TXT transcript text can help a moderator or author draft notes, timestamps, or accessibility context.
4. SRT and VTT should stay timed subtitle handoff files, not ordinary forum-post copy.
5. The post should not imply every YouTube video has a usable transcript or that captions are always accurate.

For wpForo communities that embed YouTube videos, where would you put transcript-derived text: in the same post below the embed, in a short summary only, in a separate resource reply, or nowhere unless the author explicitly provides it?

Disclosure: I work on a small YouTube transcript workflow, but I am intentionally not linking it here. I am asking about wpForo post structure and moderation, not promoting a tool.

I may be overthinking this, but can I set up the forum so anyone who navigates to the forum is automatically taken to the login/legister page first, forcing login before the forum itself it viewable?

Obviously I can change any links to go to the login page first, but wondering if there's anything else with wpforo which may be ohandy to know!

Many thanks in advance. :)

I have hidden my forum/categories from guests. However, the statistics bar is still visible.

The only way I can hide it is to hide it from all usergroups. But I would just like it to be hidden from guests only. 

Is there a way to do this at all?

Many thanks in advance. :)
