Hi everyone, I still haven't made that step into 2.0 yet, but eager to ASAP. I am just wondering how things are going? Is anyone still having any major issues? Any major bugs to report? Is everyone who has moved over to 2.0 happy with it? Is your site working fine and all that?
Any input on how things are going would be great to hear 🙂 It seems as if everything is going smooth enough right?

We have upgraded our production site with over 23k registered users today without any issues, just followed the upgrade procedure to the letter as it has been described on this forum.
We have been testing the upgrade on a staging site for a couple of weeks before upgrading the real site, though. Doing this allowed us to be able to catch a few CSS and cache issues. Other than that, so far so good.
In general i haven't seen any major (critical) issues with wpforo2. People who had crashes, was because of old forum addons and converters still active or some 3rd party seo plugin.
So i would stay it was (is) very stable. I hate DB issues and errors, and there is none after the beta.
Some guys have sync issues with members (reading here) but it is unclear if this is really and issue.
2.0.6 fixed most issues, so, yeah, smooth and stable.
@percysgrowroom I was avoiding going V2 for fear of it breaking my site. Long story short, I screwed up and ended up updating my live site to V2, and with no backup etc. YIKES!
Despite my panicking big time, (dimalifragis kept me calm) my site was pretty much working. The biggest thing was I could not access any topics/threads. Robert advised that was a simple fix, I had a theme template, Robert said to just remove it and when I did, everything, and I mean everything, worked.
I should not have been so fearful, the Wpforo team and all the beta testers did superb work to ensure we have a good upgrade path. That's not to say you won't have problems, but maybe not as bad as you think. Certainly my unplanned upgrade went way smoother than I thought, and I'm so glad I'm on V2, it's fantastic.
Awesome, thanks for the input everyone, look like i need to prepare to do mine then lol
The steps before update:
- Please deactivate current addons or update them to 3.0.0 version before updating wpForo to 2.0.x
- Deactivate Go2wpForo tool if you have installed and done forum migration
- Make sure you don’t have old forum template files in /wpforo/ folder of your current active WordPress theme directory /wp-content/themes/your-active-theme/.
- After the update to 2.0 Version, go to wpForo > Tools > Debug admin page, make sure there are no errors in Errors & Issues Tab
- Then go to Database Tables tab in the same admin page and check the database issues.
- After the update, please delete all caches and purge CDN if you have.
- Delete all caches in wpForo > Overview admin page, scroll down and find [Delete all caches] button.
- If you have a cache plugin, please delete its cache as well.
I'm still using wpForo 1.9.9.2 version...waiting for Google release they 'Helpful Content Update' algoritm.
@percysgrowroom Because 70% of my traffic is come from Google, I won't ruin everything. I think Google has been released they new algoritm but I need to wait in 2 weeks until its settle.
I still testing 2.0.6 version on my secondary site. When the times come, I will update the main site.
@percysgrowroom Because if the new wpforo still containing bugs, it will make negative impact on the SEO aspect and will affect ranking on SERP
@adisaputro Cool man thanks for the info. I dont think i have ever seen one of my forum post in google ranking, only front end posts. Do you have any advice on how to improve the SEO of the wpforo software on my forum?
@percysgrowroom I'm not using any plugins for SEO purposed, just pure wpForo.
I am from Indonesia and my forum is about how to help students to solve their math homework.
I think page speed of website or forum does affect SEO and reducing bounce rate so that can improve ranking on google.
