We just released wpForo 1.4.3 version.
IMPORTANT: If you have customized wpforo template files in WordPress active theme's /wpforo/ folder, please remove those before updating to 1.4.3 version. wpForo 1.4.3 doesn't support old template files. You'll get Fatal Error like this case: https://wpforo.com/community/how-to-and-troubleshooting-2/fatal-error/
Main changes
1. Boosted Core
Works many folds faster. Forum OOP optimization. The old model with global $wpforo is changed to WPF() . Developers who used global $wpforo object, please change it to WPF() .

This was core issue, we just updated wpForo files on plugin directory, just deactivate, delete wpForo files and install it again. Then navigate to Dashboard > Forums > Dashboard and click on [Update Forum Statistic] button.

For some reason the _wpforo_profiles table is not updated in your database and the new field "online_time" is not added. Maybe this was just a moment and it already exists. Please check _wpforo_profiles table fields and make sure the "online_time" exists after "last_login" field. If it doesn't exist use install SQL Executioner plugin and execute this SQL query:
ALTER TABLE `$wpforo_profiles` ADD `online_time` INT AFTER `last_login`, ADD KEY (`online_time`);

You mean "last_login" ? If so, yes, online time exists.
You mean "last_login" ? If so, yes, online time exists.
Yes. Ok, then you'll not get more errors. It was just a moment when the update process was not completed.

I don't see any more errors in the log, so i guess i'm good.
Thanks for the update and the quick support.

Trying to update an other site, i got the same error as above (WordPress database error Unknown column 'online_time' in 'field list' for query UPDATE `wp_wpforo_profiles") but also several others:
[10-Dec-2017 11:30:49 UTC] WordPress database error Unknown column 'ug.color' in 'field list' for query SELECT *, ug.name AS groupname, ug.color AS color FROM `wp_users` u

Not sure what all those are. I have an extremely stable WP installation with a crystal clear debug.log.
Please check the _wpforo_usergroups table and see if "color" field exists. It seems your database has some delay in table updating process. It doesn't affect anything. As I already mentioned such errors are being generated during update process. Once update is complete all should be good. Just ignore it. We'll check it too.

Yes color field exists allright. And also yes those errors log ONLY during the upgrade procedure and not after that.
It may have to do with the
StorPool Distributed Storage Platform
we use. Who knows.
Thanks !
Why I don't change admin color? 🙂 In my opinion this option should be unlocked 🙂
Thank you yet again for a nice release!
All seems to be working nicely, except for getting the usergroups colors to take effect on forum side.
I've deleted the caches, made hard refresh twice, updated the forum statistic, no errors in the log.
Haven't though checked wpforo_usergroups table and see if "color" field exist. A dumb question here is, where do I check that line? 🤣
