Hi guys, I have been using Wpforo for a long time, and it is great software. I love using it, so please don't get me wrong when I say this, but it is missing some features I think are important.Â
For one, I would like to be able link my forum with software like Tapatalk for mobiles, but it isn't possible with Wpforo.
There are also many forums on the internet that update posts and thread automatically, without having to refresh the page.Â
I have also seen some forums that have great competition sections and certain thread that are made just for entry into competitions and give aways that I would like ot see on Wpforo. As I said, I think this is great software, but I feel like without out these features our forums are left behind and will not be as good as some of the bigger sites out there.Â
Can we get some kind of idea of what will be coming in version 2.0 of Wpforo? Will some of these features be added?
We have all waited for over 6 months for the next updated on wpforo now, and it seems like it is taking forever. I understand it is a big job and will take time, but I dont know how much longer I am able to wait, and not sure if it will be worth the wait if some of the thing I mentioned above wont be added to the new version.Â
Would you be able to give us some spoilers of what we can expect in the 2.0 version? Will some of these thing I have mentioned be addressed? IE Tapatalk integration, live updates, and extra features on the profile pages like friend requests?Â
I hope you dont think I am knocking your work, WPforo is great. But my forum has grown a lot and I feel like my site needs to be able to offer more now. Will wpforo 2.0 be able to offer these things, or should I consider moving onto new software?Â
Thanks in advance for any reply, I appreciate you guys do to make this awesome software!Â
Tapatalk does not support Wordpress at all and will likely not do so again. So, that is not down to WPForo.
There are also many forums on the internet that update posts and thread automatically, without having to refresh the page.Â
This can be achieved via a Code Snippet. It's not Ajax so no resource savings via an idle function is possible but it does the job in the interim.
Could not replicate on the dev site. Had a look at yours, and yeah, the main page is one long grow streak.
I think you should try changing the recent posts in the sidebar widget "
P.S. if you want to integrate the Pseudo Live topics snippet to support all your forum layouts you could go with something like this: (Make sure to tick the "Only run on site front end" box is ticked.).
Again, 30 seconds is likely too fast for sensible editing and also monitor your server resources for a day or two.
add_action( 'wp_head', function () { ?> <script> jQuery(function($) { setInterval(function($) { jQuery("#wpforo-wrap > div.wpforo-main > div.wpforo-content > div.wpfl-1").load(location.href+" #wpforo-wrap > div.wpforo-main > div.wpforo-content > div.wpfl-1>*",""); jQuery("#wpforo-wrap > div.wpforo-main > div.wpforo-content > div.wpfl-2").load(location.href+" #wpforo-wrap > div.wpforo-main > div.wpforo-content > div.wpfl-2>*",""); jQuery("#wpforo-wrap > div.wpforo-main > div.wpforo-content > div.wpfl-3").load(location.href+" #wpforo-wrap > div.wpforo-main > div.wpforo-content > div.wpfl-3>*",""); jQuery("#wpforo-wrap > div.wpforo-main > div.wpforo-content > div.wpfl-4").load(location.href+" #wpforo-wrap > div.wpforo-main > div.wpforo-content > div.wpfl-4>*",""); }, 30000); }); </script> <?php } );

Also, if really really have to have an integrated chat system you could do far worse than Discord. Take a look here https://plugins.miniorange.com/discord-wordpress-single-sign-on-integration and over here https://zapier.com/apps/discord/integrations/wordpress for more info on the possibilities.
