Congrats on WpForo 3.0.
Unfortunately, I don't want any AI features, for a number of reasons.
Will users have the option to completely disable any and all AI features?
+1, I don't want an automatic update to suddenly have some robot talking on my forum.
Why does everything have to have AI? The whole point of my forum is for humans to connect.
I looked through the feature list for 3.0 and there are a lot of good things. Just hope we get plenty of control over which features are used.

Hi @veganostomy and @memphisguru,
Thank you for your feedback!
Please note that all AI features are disabled by default. You should connect to AI Service to turn on the AI features. Even after the connection every single AI feature in wpForo 3.0 is optional and fully controllable. Nothing is enabled by default without your permission, and you have granular control over which features to turn on or off through the wpForo AI Features admin page.
But I'd also like to clarify that AI in wpForo is not mainly about robotic replies on your forum. The real power is in the dozens of behind-the-scenes features that make the human experience much smoother:
- Semantic search that helps your members find answers even when they don't know the exact keywords,
- Instant topic summaries so users can catch up on long discussions without reading 200 replies,
- Smart suggestions that point people to existing answers before they create duplicate topics,
- Real-time translation that lets your community speak across 100+ languages,
- AI-powered spam and toxic content moderation that keeps your forum clean without constant manual work from you and your moderators.
Forums have always been the richest source of real human knowledge on the internet, millions of genuine questions, answers, and discussions written by real people over many years. AI thrives on exactly this kind of content, and wpForo 3.0 uses it to make all that collective knowledge more accessible and useful for your members. The result is that people find what they need faster, engage more deeply, and keep coming back, which is exactly what brings new life to forums.
So think of AI in wpForo not as a robot replacing human connection, but as a powerful tool that amplifies it. You stay in full control, and your community stays human.
In case you want to say thank you !)

Hi there,
Will there be a way to completely disable all AI features?
Our preference right now is not to use AI, but even if we did we would very selectively choose one feature to start with and evaluate.
I know WPForo 3 is still in beta testing, but I'd like to let you know that the inability to disable all AI features will be a blocker for us to upgrade from WPForo 2.
Thanks for continuing to innovate and improve on WPForo!
