@annabwashere this isn't something I've tried. My thought here would be to create a function that replaces the wpForo signature with the custom field ...

@robert thanks very much for the detailed explanation. I'm taking your recommendations on board - keeping WP-Rocket and the wpForo caching mechanisms ...

If Rocket doesn't specifically support wpForo, then how it works ? @anonymous20 that's a very good question. I don't know, but, it does !

@anonymous20 that's really strange. WP-Rocket definately works on my site with wpForo cache disabled. If you like, create an account and try it yourse...

I've used it before, and it works well - haven't tried with wpForo, but my understanding is that it is the same as the logged in user cache in WP-Rock...

@anonymous20 there are major differences, which I am concerned about - particularly as my site is gaining momentum. I mean, are the forum list / topic...

And one more thing I'd suggest. Make it bit hierarchical using such CSS: Good idea. Done (thanks for this) Selection_037.png

Ok. Here's a rework of the recent.php file using DIV instead of TABLE format Link is the same -/p> Selection_036.png

@robert good point about the layout being lost to a degree - I thought this myself but styling is fairly limited with table layouts. I may change this...
