Is there a way to stop the server from doing work as a user types the title to try and show the dialog that shows 'discussions that may have what you're looking for' that shows up as a user enters a title?

 

I know I can hide it by setting

.wpf-suggested-topics-list {
display: none!important;
}

 

But I'd like to avoid the server doing any work at all to calculate this.

We have a fairly busy forum, and want to streamline this.

Hey folks, does anyone have an answer for this?

Is there support for folks who have paid for the premium upgrade?

@vanessa,

You can use this hook code to disable it. 

add_filter( 'wpforo_topic_suggestion', '__return_false' );

Hi @vanessa,

I tried the hook on our forum and it does indeed prevent suggestions from being displayed, however the server is still "Working..." looking for them. Does this happen on your forum?

Hi @robert,

Is there a way to avoid this server load at all?

Thanks

@jorgew Yah, actually I had the same results after I got a chance to try it.

It doesn't seem like it's actually stopping the server from working.

Would be great to have a way to turn off the suggested topics completely.

 

Fwiw I think this should be a toggle in the dashboard and suggestions are only really appropriate for Q&A type forums, not as much discussion forums. I'm fine with a short term workaround though.

I agree!

@vanessa,

Maybe setting topic as "unsolved"??

Please update to 2.2.5 version, delete all caches and test it again.

Hi @robert 

Did update to 2.2.5, deleted all caches (just once) and tried it, with no change: server kept "Working" and displaying suggestions.

Then I deleted all caches once again (even browser cache) and now it seems to have stopped.

Thanks!

 

Is this an optional setting or a fix in this new version?
