wpForo 1.x.x [Solved] Sub Forum Layout

jwhit16 · 2020-04-19T17:27:43Z

Hi, I previously posted a topic on this and it appears to be closed. I am considering purchasing 3-4 addons, but sub-forum layout is a major issue that may prevent me from moving forward. Here is why. I plan to add 50-100 sub forums for each forum, they will be organized by location. So only 1, or possibly none of these sub forums will be relevant to a new user who wants to view the forum. When that user clicks on a main forum, they will have to scroll past all 50-100 sub-forums to see the topics from the main forum. Here is what it looks like with only 10 or so sub forums:I would like to offer a few potential solutions. 1) Show main forum content before sub-forums. 2) Enable a sub-forum drop down menu. 3) Enable sub-forum pagination. All of these solutions benefit user experience for anyone using WP Foros. I am very pleased with the plugin overall, and hoping to invest in some add-ons. But unfortunately this is a major design flaw that I believe has enough negative impact on user experience to keep me from investing in additional add-ons. If there is CSS that could accomplish any of the above resolutions please let me know.

Hi @nris,

You've done something wrong for sure. This is a syntax error and this is a result of incomplete or inaccurate changes.

In any case you if you don't want to show sub-forum with parent forums you can disable the "Threaded Layout - Display Sub Forums with Parent Forums" option in Dashboard >Forums > Settings > Forums Tab:
