Hi, is it possible to schedule a Forum and/or topic to publish on a certain date or time? I want to schedule a Forum to "open" on a certain date where each day a new post is revealed. Thanks for the info and help.
hi @jim
You can usually do this with a cron job, but read the answer here https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cron-job-sort-of-thing/
it may work with wpForo - Blog Cross Posting and a Wordpress Cron Job Plugin
but wait for an answer from the wpForo Team
Any answers to this?
Hi @jim,
I'm sorry but this is not included in the near future to-do list. For the custom development you can contact to gVecotrs Custom Development team via sales[at]gvectors.com, they'll assess the work and let you know the price.
@robert thank you so much. Am I correct in that the forum posts aren’t actually WordPress posts? Otherwise, it would be possible to schedule them like normal posts.
@jim,
Yes you're correct. wpForo is designed to not overload the default WordPress wp_posts table so it's not based on custom post types. wpForo comes with its own forums, topics and posts tables. That's why websites using wpForo will stay light and fast regardless of the size of your forum.
@robert makes sense, thanks. I'll check on the possibilities through gVectors. Also, can you please let me know the status on this? A lot of my forum users ask for this feature, and I'd gladly pay for it if it were an addon. Thanks so much.
@jim,
I'm already mentioning you. It has been added two years ago. Just copy and use the nickname for mentioning:
@robert sorry, I misunderstood what they were asking. I was referring to it auto-populating the names after you type the @ symbol like how IP Board and social media platforms do. I saw you reply to a thread about it saying it would be coming in a future release.
