Hi @seancallahan,

It's not recommended to install the v2 on a live site. Especially if you have ongoing issues, you should not do that. You can clone your website to some sub-direcotry or subdomain using Duplicator plugin, then deactivate the wpForo, delete it, upload the v2 and activate it back. So in this way you'll update wpForo on a test website and check it. But if you have some issues with current wpForo you'll most likely have the same issue on v2.

I've just added you to the beta testers team, please find the Beta Testers forum and go to the latest beta release topic.

@chris Is there a way for me to install 2.0 on my site and become a beta tester?

@seancallahan,

The feature is in the to-do list, I can't give an ETA as the feature is going to be in wpForo 2.0 version, so it will be available only after wpForo 2.0 stable release

@chris Hi Chris, Do you have an ETA of when the feature for a user to block another user will be supported? I'd be happy to pay for it as an add-on. I've also reached out to GVectors twice now about building this for me and I still haven't heard back.

@fawp,

the feature is in our to-do list, so it will be added in wpForo.

@chris Robert mentioned in the other thread that this feature was very resource-intensive for wpForo. You may want to double check if this is still the case with Version 2.

@seancallahan, @fawp, @doyledonato,

Unfortunately, wpForo doesn't have that feature for now, but we will add it to our to-do list,

If you need functionality urgently, you can contact with gVectors Custom Work Team.

@chris @fawp It would be just like Twitter or Reddit. You can block a user. That is what Apple wants me to include in the forum. Once you blog a user you won't see any of their posts going forward. It's like an automatic filter, "Don't show any content/posts/topics from anyone that is blocked." That way, if a user keeps posting annoying things that don't violate the terms of service, a user can block the user to make their forum/discussion experience better. Does a feature like this exist? If not, when do you expect it?

@chris this most likely is the feature being discussed in this thread

Hi @seancallahan,

can you explain this option? What it does and how it works?
