Few bugs
-
1. This is the main one for me. My Q&A have a long history, it was migrated through different systems. That’s why a lot of my user accounts have names like 1, 2, 282, 315, etc numbers.
Let’s take user with login “282”. When I go into /community/profile/282/ , page shows user with ID 282. With ID, not with login. User with ID 282 has login “318”. When I open link “318”, it opens user with login 354, etc, etc.
Please have your link respect either logins, or IDs. Opening users by ID will make users enumeration possible (that’s not always desirable). If you still need to support opening profile by ID, make it priority to open by login. Only if login was not found, use ID.
Thanks!
2. Your migration tool main screen have urls messed up. A quick one.
3. Please either hide “Add topic” button after it was pressed, or at least change it’s text to something like “close”. After I wrote topic name and message, I look around, “I’m adding topic, i’ll press Add topic”, and it’s hidden instead of being added. My first time user experience was negative.
4. Let’s say I was to sell access to 5 closed forums. Some people would buy access to {1}, some to {3}. But some will buy access to {1}, {2} and {4} at the same time. How would I solve that with current “user may have just one membership”? Make it possible to assign user to few memberships. What he can or can’t see is a sum of all membership permissions (default > allow > deny)
5. This one I will not reproduce, but it happened when I first installed wpForo. Just reporting it in case you may want to know. After playing with Forums settings (I believe I set forum with posts and maybe subforums to be a category), wpForo became unusable. Any action, like saving forum settings, resulted in 100% PHP cpu usage, 30 sec timeout. Something went wrong. Had to restore DB backup. Now I’m not mindlessly assigning forums properties, and it works fine so far.

Thank you for your interest in wpForo and for detailed feedback, please find my answers below:
1. This is the main one for me. My Q&A have a long history, it was migrated through different systems. That’s why a lot of my user accounts have names like 1, 2, 282, 315, etc numbers….
Please make sure the option “Members URL structure” is set “USER_NICENAME” in Forums > Settings > Members admin page. Also I think it’d be a good idea to add “u” or “User-” prefix to numeric usernames. In any case we’re going to check this issue and fix in next release.
2. Your migration tool main screen have urls messed up. A quick one.
I just checked and didn’t find any broken URL, please let me know which one you mean?
3. Please either hide “Add topic” button after it was pressed, or at least change it’s text to something like “close”. After I wrote topic name and message, I look around, “I’m adding topic, i’ll press Add topic”, and it’s hidden instead of being added. My first time user experience was negative.
This is already in our to-do list.
4. Let’s say I was to sell access to 5 closed forums. Some people would buy access to {1}, some to {3}. But some will buy access to {1}, {2} and {4} at the same time.

You can create a Usergroup which has access to two forums, or three and more. I know that the number of usergroups will be a little bit large, but it’s passible with current wpForo. A single forum access for single usergroup instruction can be found here: https://wpforo.com/community/how-to-and-troubleshooting-2/private-forum-option/#post-6749
But the best solution is Multiple Usergroups. This is also in our to-do list. The Multi-usergroup feature will allow you to attach a single user to many Usergroups which have access to according forum.5. This one I will not reproduce, but it happened when I first installed wpForo. Just reporting it in case you may want to know. After playing with Forums settings (I believe I set forum with posts and maybe subforums to be a category), wpForo became unusable.

wpForo does tons of things on first activation (installation). It imports XML phrases, create database, generate profiles based on users. It may take a few seconds or minutes and may take even 100% CPU, but it’s a one time process. You can see all processes in wpForo Doc:
https://wpforo.com/docs/root/wpforo-installation/installation-process/
In 1.3.0 version we add a condition to synchronize user profiles with separate second step if the number of users more than 100.Please make sure the option “Members URL structure” is set “USER_NICENAME” in Forums > Settings > Members admin page.
It is set to nice usernames, as by default. When I set it to USER_ID, after I reset cache on dashboard it works ok. If USER_NICENAME, it glitches like I described above.
Also I think it’d be a good idea to add “u” or “User-” prefix to numeric usernames.

2. Images and text links here are not synced, and mostly lead to bbpress. Links at the left menu are alright though, no problem using migration tool, it worked perfect for my anspress.
But the best solution is Multiple Usergroups. This is also in our to-do list.
Thank you! <3

Nah, that was not the case. I was doing it on local 4 GHz PC, it was installed smooth, worked smooth. I had about 5 empty forums, with maybe 2-3 posts in two of them. Then I started playing with forum settings, that query and every next query was resulting in 100% CPU core load, timeout. My max_execution_time = 1200, it was browser (chrome) timeout. wpForo was clearly unusable anymore, I tried 5-10 times more. Looked at DB contents, found nothing suspicious like thousands of records.
Long users sync was not required as I was testing it on a relatively lonely site copy, with 1 user, ~70 posts+pages.
Never mind, I rolled back my DB, installed wpForo again and it’s fine since then ??
Thank you! ??
