Hello friends. I also use the WPFORO plugin. Before the last update there was a closed/maintenance warning if I remember correctly on the site/forum. I thought after this warning. I understand from here that in the future as the community grows, if there is an issue with the plugin, I think it will be difficult to fix it manually. Is WpForo external dependent? For example, while the 2.XX version is active, can everyone actively use the lower version? So what do we do in case of independent WPFORO problems?
(I wrote using Google translator, I apologize in advance if I'm wrong.)
@hasanaytac I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but there's still a way to put your board in a Maintenance mode with 2.0. Just go to Dashboard / Forum Settings/ Board Settings / and just enable the "Under Construction" option there, then save your changes.
Remember, you and your Admins will still be able to see the forum normally, but regular users won't, they will only see the Under Construction page.
Don't forget to disable this as soon as you are done.

No way to do this. You just need to keep deactivated the auto-update and read the update notes before updating. If you've already updated to v2. You'll not have any serious issues, if you've not updated yet, you should follow all this steps before the 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.
