I cant see content or modifications I made to the forum

If you are using some third-party plugin for caching (WP Super Cache for example) and disable caching for the forum-page, everything should work fine again.

I cant upload my files

By default only files of the following filetype can be uploaded: jpg, jpeg, gif, png, bmp, pdf. You can modify the allowed filetypes inside the forum administration.

Where can I add moderators or ban users?

You can ban users or ad moderators via the user edit screen in the WordPress administration interface.

How can I show a specific post/topic/forum/category on a page?

You can extend the shortcodes with different parameters to show specific content only. For example: [forum post="POSTID"], [forum topic="TOPICID"], [forum forum="FORUMID"], [forum category="CATEGORYID"] or [forum category="CATEGORYID1,CATEGORYID2"].

How can I add a captcha to the editor for guests?

To extend your forum with a captcha you have to use one of the available third-party captcha-plugins for WordPress and extend your themes functions.php file with the checking-logic via the available hooks and filters by your own. For example you can use the plugin Really Simple CAPTCHA and extend your themes functions.php file with this code:
https://gist.github.com/Asgaros/6d4b88b1f5013efb910d9fcd01284698.

I want help to translate Asgaros Forum

You can help to translate Asgaros Forum on this site:
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/asgaros-forum.
Please only use this site and dont send me your own .po/.mo files because it is hard to maintain if I get multiple translation-files for a language.

Please approve my translations

You can approve translations by yourself if you are a Project Translation Editor (PTE). Please contact me in the forums if you are a native speaker and want to become a PTE.

Which hooks and filters are available?

You can find a list of available hooks and filters on this site:

Amazing

By Green Website (greenwebsite) on July 31, 2025

Love this forum. Lightweight, easy and work.

*FANTASTIC JOB!!*

By NuT^CrAcKeR (simple5imon) on June 27, 2025

This is incredible!!
It has everything needed for a forum, rather than having to purchase extra's like other plugins. I've never experienced such as easy to setup plugin which is so advanced. It's also VERY easy to manage.
I am VERY impressed!

GO ASGAROS TEAM!

Very much appreciated.

Widget?

By biredip on April 3, 2025

I have been using the plugin for a long time. However, recently I switched to a WordPress block theme. Now I can no longer use widgets. I am waiting for a solution to this.

Working great!

By Shuaib (shuaiburrahman) on January 9, 2025

it is as i had expected.

Great work!

Great Forum Solution for WordPress

By tezza007 on January 4, 2025

Just started using this on my site, it works really well and is easy to set up. I do love how easy it is to design in concert with the rest of my website. It's currently a free solution with a capability to donate to the developer. I really hope that the developer continues to improve and upgrade the plugin.

Very limited in extra perks and sometimes finicky. Not super user-friendly

Plugin is excellent

By Klaus Wilde (klwild) on February 23, 2024

I was looking for an inline plugin and tried a few. Some couldn't create widgets, others couldn't create a menu entry. Thanks to the developers.
