We just released wpForo 1.5.2 version.

Security Note: This version also includes security fixes so we recommend to update and use the latest version.  A security issue allowing registered users to escalate their privileges to a forum administrator was fixed. Look through the forum members and filter by administrator group, look for any suspicious administrator-level accounts that could be a backdoor and remove them accordingly

Other Notes: If you have an old (1.5.1 or lower) customized copy of wpForo forum template files in your WP theme /wpforo/ folder please update them. After the update please delete all caches and do Ctrl+F5 on forum front.

 

Main Changes

 

1. Topic Tags, Tags Widget, Tags Search and Tags Page

Topic tags allow users to filter between forums and display topics with a specific topic tag.

If topic tagging is enabled, when a user creates a topic they have the ability to add specific tags to quickly explain what a post is about and it also helps users find related topics based on those tags.

To manage tag settings:

  1. Go to Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Topics & Posts
  2. In this admin page find all options related to Tags:
  •  Enable Topic Tags
  • Number of Tags per Page
  • Maximum Number of Tags per Topic

 

The Tags page can be navigated using the "Tags" link in forum footer. Or you can add Tags menu in forum menu bar using Custom Menu item - Title: Tags / URL: /%wpforo-tags%/

The Tags Widget can be found and added to forum sidebar in Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets admin page.

 

2. Topic Footer - Related Topics, Previous / Next Topics, Topic Tags

We've added < Previous Topic / Next Topics > links in topic footer area. It also contains a section with a list of current topic related topics. the relation is based on tags, so if topic doesn't have tags, there wont be any related topics.

 

3. Forum Sitemap

Sitemap is a model of a forum's content designed to help both users and search engines navigate the site. Forum sitemap is a hierarchical list of forums, topics and user profiles pages with links in a XML document that provides instructions to search engine crawl bots.

Finally wpForo has a builtin powerful sitemap system. It generates sitemap XML file dynamically. The Sitemap URL is example.com/community/sitemap.xml . The red marked /community/ is the base path of your forum, you may have changed to something else.

Example: https://wpforo.com/community/sitemap.xml

We also added Search Engine Pinging function with sitemap.

This sends auto-generated notifications to search engine spiders telling them that the page has been updated and needs to be re-crawled. Ping submission is helpful for crawling the forum and for updating the information in search engines. The main purpose of pinging is to get them indexed faster by the search engines you target, so they can pass link equity faster than they would anyway.

 

4. Read / Unread (forums, topics and posts) and View unread posts

Before this version release wpForo was only logging forum and topic views. Now the logging is changed and based on unread posts, topics and forums. wpForo displays bold titles and colored icons of forums if it has new content since your last visit. Topic titles are also balded if it contains a new posts. This change also allows you to see Unread Posts by clicking the according link in Forum Footer or in Recent Posts page.

This

https://wpforo.com/community/how-to-and-troubleshooting-2/topic-delete-error/

is not fixed.

We tested as you explained the issue and didn't find this error. You should provide more information in that topic. The " if you post the FIRST topic in an EMPTY forum" doesn't work. There is no such problem even in this case. We couldn't find this. If you find some time please try to generate this issue on a fresh WP/wpForo installation.

It is unbelievable how many new features are included in the free core of wpForo.

Thank you !

Most of the forum engines have these features from the stock. So, I think it is normal that wpForo must have these features in free core.

Some features that I am waiting for:

  • Sorting or ordering in Q&A layout based on the number of votes and marked answers
  • Changing the author of a topic and/or answer/comment
  • Adding a topic on behalf of another user (admin feature)
  • Changing an answer to the comment and vice versa (in Q&A layout).

In any way, this is a great update!

Thank you for these suggestions antonM.

Sorting or ordering in Q&A layout based on the number of votes and marked answers

This is already in our to-do list

  • Changing the author of a topic and/or answer/comment
  • Adding a topic on behalf of another user (admin feature)

No plans yet.

Changing an answer to the comment and vice versa (in Q&A layout).

This is already in our to-do list too.

Adding a topic on behalf of another user (admin feature)

Sometimes people do not understand how to add a new topic to the forum. They click on top toolbar +Add and add a new blog post. In this case, an option to add a new topic on behalf of another user will be useful. Currently, I do this manually through the database.

Наконец то карта сайта SITEMAP сделана ура!!! Между прочим я очень тактично не раз просил любимую поддержку WPFORO как мне по SEO продвинуть свой форум! И вот от таких как я администраторов ребята сигналы ловят, и вот результат на лицо что называется!

Лучший форум, бесплатный, что действительно удивляет.

Только что ответ получил в субботу на емейл с поддержки! Вы что в выходной работаете даже!

Ребята я ваш фанат, все у меня на русский язык переведено, вы можете в следующем обновлении взять мой перевод фраз чтобы люди не мучались в России.

Как же круто вы облегчили мою жизнь и работу, теперь только нам не хватает немного заработать всем, будем же как медведи через бурелом идти только вперед! 

И еще удивительно, но это архиважно, я забыл когда пользователи форума на что то жаловались и советы давали как нужно сделать форум, ибо все едут на Мерседесе и как будто так и должно быть понимаете? Лучшая машина это WPFR! Просто человек очень быстро привыкает к хорошему.

Спасибо за работу еще раз, вы лучшие! Может загляну к вам в Лос-Анджелесе как заработаем денег немного с вином)!
