Hi there,
I'm seeing in my feed reader that old posts are being added as if they were new posts, this is happening since turning my forum as "stand alone".
The down side of this is that my forum has nearly 50 thousand posts.
Any ideas of why this is happening?
Thanks
When the original (1st) issue happened? Was that a normal forum? A converted?
It was ok and the broke?
Also what you do now, you actually DEINDEX your forum and mess your SEO.
I want to help if you clearly say what you had, what you did, what you changed. And actively reply here.
I can't say exactly what happened because I don't really know. But, I will tell you the best I possibly can.
I started my forum more than 15 years ago. I started with phpBB. But the forum grew and the maintenance was huge for me, so about 7 years ago I decided to move it to Xenforo. Everything went fine until 2 years ago that some issues came up and the support wasn't there, my forum was down for almost a month and that's when I decided to move it to wpforo.
Everything was working fine until this happened. I don't know what went wrong. The thing is that visitors and registered members can't read the threads, any threads at all. But, moderators and the admins can read the threads, it's really weird.
When I changed the forum to "stand alone" then everybody were able to read the threads.
I don't know if I can switch that back. The only down side I see is that I can't even put a contact form anywhere.
If I'm not able to fix this, I was thinking about moving the blog content to a subdomain, for example, and share the members logins between the forum and this new subdomain. I currently have about 500 members in the forum, I don't want them to create a new account.
I don't know if I gave the information you need to help me with this. If not, maybe I can send you some log errors, for example, I don't know...
Regards,
@frankpereiro Well it depends of what you want. A standalone-like wpForo or Wordpress site with wpForo in a page?
You don't want your blog for example?
The simplest way is to have gvectors guys login and fix that, it shouldn't take more than a minute, unless ou have some errors.
By the way, do you know of a free or paid plugin for sharing users between worries installations that works with Wpforo?
Right now, I think this is my best option, I don't want to migrate the forum again.
Thanks,
The only down side I see is that I can't even put a contact form anywhere.
You can, you simply add the link to such pages to Dashboard>wpForo>Boards>Edit>Exclude page URLs
Example to exclude ( https://planeta-beisbol.com/contact )
Add all your pages that reside outside of WPForo that you want members and guests to see. The click save.
@verek thanks a lot for that tip, which I didn't know. It will save me a lot of trouble. Fantastic 😊
Regards
And, by the way, I'm sorry if I don't make any sense at some point, English is not my mother language 😉
