We just released wpForo 1.4.4 version and then 1.4.4.1 with some small changes.
IMPORTANT: If you're updating from 1.4.2 and lower versions and you have customized wpforo template files in WordPress active theme's /wpforo/ folder, please remove those before updating to 1.4.4 version. wpForo 1.4.4 doesn't support old template files.
Main Changes
Â
1. Guest Posting is here!
wpForo becomes more Guest Friendly with this version. We added many functions and features to engage forum guests. Now they are able to post topics and posts, quote others' content, edit own posts, set own topic resolved and attach files. To enable guest posting you should edit the "Read Only" forum access in Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Forum Accesses admin page and enable forum permissions you want.

2. Built-in Google reCAPTCHA
Please don't forget about the security. We've also added built-in Google reCAPTCHA function. You should configure it and enable for Guest Topic and Post Editors.
In case you don't have antispam protection for Login / Register and Reset password forms you can enable wpForo reCAPTCHA for these forms too.
All settings are available in Dashboard > Forums > Tools > Antispam Tab:

3. Redesigned Login / Register and Reset Password pages

4. Font size changing button on topic and post editor toolbar

Fixed now I see, do we need an update on our side as well. or was it just this forum?
This is local configuration issue. You should not have such problem on your forum. Please check it and make sure.

I don't see the recent posts menu item showing in my forum menu.
I've tried searching for a recent post page in the forum menu editor but nothing found.
Is the recent posts page created automatically or does it have to be created?
I do have a CDN which I have purged but no joy.
Ok done that, purged ALL caches too and it now looks like the attached:
Ok, I have no clue what's wrong with your website and how the theme conflicts with wpForo. Please leave direct URL to allow us debug it.

This page is created automatically if you do a new install. If you update it you should add this menu in Dashboard > Appearance > Menus > wpForo Navigation Menu. More info:

If I use /?wpforo=signup instead of /forum/?wpforo=signup i can bypass recaptcha. 🤨Â 🤨Â
Try to login. Also make sure the WordPress Login is also enabled in Forums > Tools > reCAPTCHA settings page. You should not be able to login even if reCAPTCHA is not displayed.

Also, does this release address the issues experienced by iPhone users?
I'm sorry but not yet, probable in next version. This is a small issue but takes days to debug the problem.
No problem, I totally understand. You have a lot going on and you are doing a great job! 🙂
Did this update change the way html image urls are parsed?
We used to be able to post an image link this <img src="http://www.example.com/images/2017/12/30/imagename.jpg" alt="imagename.jpg" border="0"> and it would embed the image just fine but after the update those type of links have reverted text.

You should put this code in Text (source button) editor not in reach editor. The 1.4.3 had bug, it was decoding HTML tags inserted in rich editor, now this bug is fixed and all <img> tags which have been inserted in rich editor are not converted to HTML. If you want to put in editor some image you should insert Image URL in Rich editor or <img src="... HTML in Text editor ( click on source button {;} )
