We just released "bug-fix" wpForo 1.4.7 version.
This is not a planned version so all features related to 1.4.7 version were moved to 1.4.8. We were planning to add Social Share buttons in 1.4.7 version, however this is also moved to 1.4.8 version. Thank you for your understanding.
wpForo 1.4.7 has been released to fix important bugs and add some important changes of 1.4.6 version features.

Hi Robert,
Many thanks for all your efforts in quickly supplying the fixes listed in 1.4.7, a superb quick turnaround 👍
Not sure if you had time to fix this, but posts from private forum sections that are configured for only moderators to read, are still having their topic titles listed in the recent posts list in the footer stats.
I did a test to confirm. I posted a topic in our moderators forum section called " yoo hoo test". I then viewed the forum as guest from another machine, as a guest I could see the private forum topic title listed in the footer statistics.
Then I did a clear cache over on the other machine and when I went back to the guest machine hit F5 I could no longer see the private message topic title listed. Therefore it would seem every time a private forum post is made I have to clear cache to avoid it being listed. For the meantime I have disabled the footer listing recent topics.
Please see attached photo evidence below.
Viewed as guest Photo#1 shows Private forum topic title listed
Viewed as guest Photo#2 and after clear cache, shows private forum topic title not listed
Now when I open forum, "font awesome 4" icons from theme does not displayed. 😥
On 1.4.6 theme icons works fine.
@codetyper, it seems your theme's FontAwesome Lib loading priority is low. We just changed wpForo FA Lib priority and updated in wordpress.org plugin directory. Please deactivate and delete wpForo plugin. Then search and install it again. After the installation delete all caches and do Ctrl+F5 on forum front twice.

Now all is fine. Thanks, Robert!

Ok, thank you for letting us know, we'll add this in our Bug List and fix in next version.
The cache is being automatically reset after each new post and action like (sticky, close, approve, like...). I'm sorry but if you need to remove it urgently you should delete the cache manually.
Question; this update opens the username to editing (by admin) on the WPForo member profiles page; is this intended? Seems like an accident waiting to happen I think.
All is correct. Now admin can edit other users usernames. This has been changed in 1.4.6 not in 1.4.7.
The forum does not appear on the main page. Can you help me?
There are some problems regarding Buddypress integration.
First, after admin approved new registered users' posts, it has not been posted on their activity stream in Buddypress profile.
Second, alarm is not working(comments on the topic or likes etc)
Third, could you change the phrase in Buddypress activity from "USERNAME posted a new topic "TOPIC TITLE"" to "USERNAME replied to the topic "TOPIC TITLE" in the forum "FORUM NAME" when users replied on the topic?
Thank you so much. I appreciate your great work 😀

@koral1990, wpForo menu is a regular WordPress menu, it seems the wpForo Navigation has been removed from wpForo Menu Location. please check it in Dashboard > Appearance > Menus admin page:
Please find my answers below:

The alarm is not being autocratically integrated when you integrate forum activity. This is a separate system. We'll take a look on this in next version.
Third, could you change the phrase in Buddypress activity from "USERNAME posted a new topic "TOPIC TITLE"" to "USERNAME replied to the topic "TOPIC TITLE" in the forum "FORUM NAME" when users replied on the topic?
There are three different activity phrases. The New Topic and New Replies are different. That's not correct to change New Topic phrase with New Reply. Here are all phrases:
- John Doe posted a new topic "How to learn BuddyPress?" | (New Topic)
- John Doe posted in topic "How to learn BuddyPress?" | (New Reply)
- John Doe liked forum post "Re: How to learn BuddyPress?" | (Post Like)
You can only change the red marked text and change the location of blue marked variables. There are only two variables "Name" and "Activity Title". You can't add new variables. The red marked phrases can be found and managed in Dashboard > Forums > Phrases admin page. %s are a variables:
- %s posted a new topic %s
- %s posted in topic %s
- %s liked forum post %s
