Close But No Cigar

  • I think that this is one of the better forum platforms available within the www.remarpro.com Plugins repository, however, it lacks one of the most basic functionalities, which, in turn, has led me to the point of deleting the useless plugin; User. A forum client MUST have its own user control, guest posting configuration, filters, and much more. Poorly thought-out, but it has a lot of potential.

    Hi Mike Kuplevatsky!

    Why should a WordPress plugin adds his own user control system when it can use the existing user control system in WordPress?

    There are a lot of existing stand-alone forum systems with their own user management like phpBB which can be included into WordPress via some bridge-plugins as well.

    It is one of the biggest advantages of the plugin that you have your settings and users at one place and you dont have to manage it at two different areas.

    Hi, there!

    You are correct; I only say these things because I see a lot of potential with this Plugin; it’s not about other services that have such function. For example, if I wanted to buy something in a store, rarely will they ever send me elsewhere – – they want the customer-base. So, I was just suggesting it, that’s all. The more the merrier, and this plugin already has so many advantages, comparatively. It would make it easier for non WP users/non-registered users or guests to post anonymously. But yeah, WP also has its own section too, so I get it. Thanks for your reply.

    Hello again, Mike Kuplevatsky!

    I just want to let you know that the forum has now more options for user-control like permissions (moderators) and also a guest posting-functionality so users can post anonymously.

    Maybe you can give it another chance. ??
