 Any new news on the update?

I am not sure but this might be the issue, got it from my php error logs.

users_table is not to be found on subsites as it use the root site users_table

[07-Apr-2018 08:01:12 UTC] WordPress database error Table 'db_name.pref_2_users' doesn't exist for query SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `pref_2_users` made by require_once('wp-admin/admin.php'), require_once('wp-load.php'), require_once('wp-config.php'), require_once('wp-settings.php'), do_action('init'), WP_Hook->do_action, WP_Hook->apply_filters, wpForo->init

A preview option would be a nice feature

Thank you for letting us know. We'll check this. However this doesn't have any relation to User creating and gaining accesses. If the forum is in A subSite, user must register on A subSite registration form or in A subSite backend. You should never register the user on other subSites or on the Main site.

On my install when I click any link to posts I am taken to the Forum Statistics on the post page but not to the post itself. It must be a bug? 

 Any news on updates? Been 2 months from the latest update! 

I do understand and see on this forum what users are asking but, we can't add members manually forever. 5 min minimum per each user and 6 pages to go through!

Please let me know if this is not something to be added in near future so we can have a look at other more robust solution.

Hi Dennis,

wpForo 1.4.8 will be released in a few days. The synchronization of wpForo usergroups with custom WP roles is planned in 1.5.0 version, we're not planned 1.4.9 version (unless we have to release an urgent bugfix version), so the next version after 1.4.8 will be the 1.5.0 (next month, probably in a 2-3 weeks).

Hi Robert,

I am also looking for a Forum software which allows the following:

I am using the German membership plugin DigiMember for my paid membership site. Now I want to add a forum, which only can be used by paid members and - ideally - with the same user account they already have within their existing membership (which uses the WP user role "Subscriber").  I don't want them to register a second time having a second account for the forum in addition to their membership account.

Do you think you will be able to add such a feature to wpforo and when will that be the case?

Thank you very much for your reply!

Best regards,

Maria

wpForo has no any feature which requires second registration.

Please let me know what happens when user paid for membership? Does the membership plugin changes the user role of this user? This is the main point which allows other plugins work with the membership plugin. If this membership plugin doesn't make any change in paid user role then this plugin has no any chance to work with any other plugins, including wpForo.
