I'd really like to see examples of wpForo in differing communities in the UK. I am so looking forward to, possibly, setting up a community as a home page on Wordpress 😎

I've tried several different CSS snippets in an attempt to change the font color of the text in the image. Can anyone help me out?

Hi, I want change the colors css. In the wpforo settings page is written, that I have to go to a folder and upload my colors.css and replace it. but in the folder, which is described ../../wp-content/plugins/wpforo/themes/2026/HERE is no file called colors.css but in the same folder is a "styles.css" file.

Now my question if I want to change the "forum-title" class, which file I have to edit?

Restricting what can be edited in My Profile

009Webmaster — Tue, 12 May 2026 09:17:02 +0000

MY installation of WPforo is within a WordPress site where we create the users and their profile. I need to restrict the entry of information into My Profile and prevent the users from changing

Display Name
Nickname
email
Title
password

Until I can restrict these entries I cannot allow them permission to make changes to anything else e.g. add an Avatar because all of these settings are controlled centrally to ensure all systems are looking at the same bit of data.

I hope that you can provide a way to all access to the My Account but prevent entry to the fields above

Thanks

Forums with No Access can be Subscribed to by Users

moptop — Sat, 09 May 2026 17:39:28 +0000

I have a private forum with access set to only the Administrator and Moderator. But when I make a post regular users are getting notifications. I discovered this because my SMTP plugin keeps a log of all emails going out. When I go to the Forum Members section and I look under any members' subscription check marks, anyone has the ability to see the hidden forums and subscribe to them. They don't have access to see the posts because they can't access the forum, but sometimes the notifications have the content of the post in the body of the email.

Why are regular users who do not have access to the forum able to subscribe to it and even see that it exists? I have attached screenshots showing that you can subscribe to any and all forums, private or not through your profile.

I have an Administration forum with a Private Test Forum that only I have access to, but people are getting notifications from it because they are able to select it from their profile.

WPForo: 2.4.17

Hi!

What SQL query should I run to the database to delete posts in specific forums? The control panel freezes due to the large number of posts.

subpopet — Sat, 09 May 2026 06:23:10 +0000

When I share a post on social media, I'd like the "featured" image to be the video's thumbnail I posted. Is there a way to do it?

Report it button not appearing

Web-be — Fri, 08 May 2026 15:08:15 +0000

Hi all,

I think I may be confusing myself with this functionality.

Under Accesses, I have the report it function box ticked for registered users.

However, no registered users can see the report it button.

Pls see attached image for standard users (registered).

Am i missing something obvious?

Many thanks!
