Limited Support
Our team is currently on holiday, so support will be limited during this period. Response times may be slower than usual, and some inquiries may be delayed.
We appreciate your patience and understanding, and we’ll resume our usual support by the end of August.
We have just started using wp foro for the forum for my membership site.
As only my members are able to access the forum, I would like members to be able to post topics and posts without the need for moderation. Can you please let me know which item I need to tick in the Usergroups area.
NB It would be REALLY helpful if you had a page which listed all the different items and exactly what they mean. Those of who are not techie and are unfamiliar with using forums struggle with the terminology.
For example, I suspect that I probably need to tick the 'Front - Can pass moderation' item but how can I be sure that that is what this means? Maybe it means something else? I don't know.
Thanks
Hi @tessashepperson,
1. In Forums > Usergroups admin page edit all Usergroups and enable/check the "Can pass moderation" permission.
2. In Forums > Tools > Antispam admin page set low suspicion level for topic and posts:
- Spam Suspicion Level for Topics - 10
- Spam Suspicion Level for Posts - 10
Also, I'd recommend setting 1 or 2 the "User is New (under hard spam control) during first X posts" option in the same Forums > Tools > Antispam admin page.
