Is there a way to change # of Online Users to a random number + current active users? I'm trying to make my forum more popular than it is in the starting stages. I have users joining and see no one is online so they look around and leave
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hi @not_a_npc,
Please read this doc for wpForo custumazation. https://wpforo.com/docs/root/forum-themes/theme-customization/
You need to customize the footer.php file in wp-content/plugins/wpforo/wpf-themes/classic/ folder.
Remove the code on 45 line and put the following one instead of it:
<span class="wpf-stat-value"><?php echo wpforo_print_number($stat['online_members_count']) + ceil( rand(2, 22) ) ?></span>
