After more than two months of work I am happy to announce version 1.11 of the Asgaros Forum plugin for WordPress. This release comes with a lot of enhancements, changes and bugfixes.

List of unread topics

A new link in the overview brings you to a list of all topics which are new or contain new unread posts. One simple click on a topic brings you to its first unread post.

Filters for memberslist

The memberslist has been extended with filters. It is now possible to filter the users by its role (administrator, moderator, banned, normal, all users) or by usergroups which are visible to the public.

Mail-templates for notifications

You can now use mail-templates to customize the subject and content of your notifications easily via the backend. Mail-templates are available for notifications regarding new posts, new topics and new mentions.

New appearance-options

Additional new appearance-options have been added to improve the adjustment of the look-and-feel. You can now change the color of links, the light text and the second background-color.

Additional usergroups/roles improvements

There are a lot of minor improvements for usergroups and roles:

• All groups of a user are now displayed inside the memberslist
• Bulk-actions for roles have been added to the user-overview in the backend to assign multiple users to a specific role at once
• It is now possible to filter users inside the backends user-overview by their role
• Usergroup-tags throughout the forum now link to the memberslist showing all users of that group
• The IDs of usergroups are now shown in the usergroups-settings

New hooks

A couple of new hooks are available to improve the extensibility of Asgaros Forum:

• asgarosforum_usergroup_{ID}_add_user
• asgarosforum_usergroup_{ID}_remove_user
• asgarosforum_prepare
• asgarosforum_breadcrumbs_{current_view}

Fixed bugs

• Only show accessible posts inside post-histories to the current user
• Broken forum-role selector in backend-profile
• Broken banning-functionality in frontend when using plain URL-structure
• Various problems which prevents the application of custom appearance-modifications
• Usergroup-filters were hidden in the backend user-overview when there were many usergroups
• A couple of display issues
• Display issues with some themes

Additional changes and enhancements

• Don’t group posts in “Recent Forum Posts”-widget by topic
• Show username of notification-receiver in mail
• A lot of minor design changes to unify and simplify the overall look-and-feel
• Minor design changes in the administration area
• Improved application of custom appearance-settings
• Mobile-theme improvements
• Improve first-time installation-process
• Screen-reader accessibility improvements
• Performance improvements and code optimizations
• Add full compatibility with WordPress 5.0

Important

This version comes with a lot of under-the-hood changes. If you have applied custom-modifications or changed the behavior via hooks/filters it might be possible that those changes break the plugin. In this case adjustments to your custom-modifications are necessary. If you run into problems with this, please temporarily remove those modifications and contact me in this topic including your custom-code for further assistance.

As mentioned before this version comes also with a lot of new appearance-settings. It might be possible that your color-adjustments doesn’t look as expected anymore after applying the update. In this case please have a look at the new appearance-settings and adjust them to your needs.

Version 1.11 of Asgaros Forum will be available on Monday (November, 19th) via the WordPress Updater!

Changes for version 1.11.1:
