  • Free Flarum hosting on an expert platform by FreeFlarum.com

It turns out that all FreeFlarum forums have been automatically updated to 1.1.0. We've originally wanted to update during next weekend, but it seems that when all extensions were updated (by composer update), it also updated Flarum to the new version.

I've removed automatic extension updating because of this. Luckily, it wasn't a big update and everything behaves as it should. But, if your forum experiences any issues, please let us know and we'll look into it. AFAIK, one forum had issues with FoF Best Answer, which I've told them to report (since the error was generic, and they know more about their forum setup than we do). I assume that it is a minor issue and that this extension will shortly update to 1.1.0, so I won't remove it

Edit: Also fixed navigation not visible for desktop or mobile on https://freeflarum.com

    SKevo It turns out that all FreeFlarum forums have been automatically updated to 1.1.0. We've originally wanted to update during next weekend, but it seems that when all extensions were updated (by composer update), it also updated Flarum to the new version.

    If you want to guarantee that you are in control of these versions, you can use a strict version constraint. For instance, what I do for clients, is to set the constraint to v1.1.* for flarum/core that way you are safe to run composer update to pull in patches. But all minor (or major) releases demand a change in the composer constraint in order to allow such an upgrade.

      Hello, I have a problem with my forum forumehc.flarum.cloud. When members are not logged in, they cannot see the answers to the discussions even though the permission allows it in the dashboard.Here is a screenshot

          gartaguel that's probably related to an extension that you are using. Try to disable some and see if it changes anything. You can also check the console for potential errors

              SKevo I don't think that I can log in to do that.

                  rh9 My bad, I thought that you were already logged in. I've disabled it for you, and the login form should open properly now.

                    Does it support Chinese search?

                      hjhkgh it depends on whether or not Flarum supports it (AFAIK it currently doesn't). We haven't made any changes that allow for Chinese search with Flarum at FreeFlarum either

                          Hello team freeflarum, If i use freeflarum

                          Do you support to access my data via API?
                          Do you support embed?
                          Do I need to upgrade to any premium plan? How much it would cost?
                          Can we expect 99% uptime?

                          Sorry for too many questions, I thought it would be easy for you to answer if I ask all questions in a single post 🙂 @SKevo

                            There is no premum plan. Donation helps remove the footer.

                            based on my experience, there is a bit of downtime that comes with maintenance. There is no uptime guarantee provided.

                            I have not seen API access or any embed support so far.

                            Hari Do you support to access my data via API?

                            Not sure what kind of API are you referring to, but FreeFlarum has simple REST API to list all or specific forums, validate forum name, etc... There's no documentation for that, but it'll be no problem to me to answer any questions that you might have about it, since I developed it. As for Flarum, it has a rich REST API built-in, but that's not related to FreeFlarum

                            Do you support embed?

                            AFAIK Flarum has the Embed extension that allows you to use iFrames with your forum. But that's again not directly related to FreeFlarum, which has no support for embeds (because it doesn't need to, unless you want to frame the main FreeFlarum website)

                            Hari Do I need to upgrade to any premium plan? How much it would cost?

                            FreeFlarum is free and will always stay free. We are not a company, nor a commercial entity. There will be no paid plans, but donations are always welcome.

                            Hari Can we expect 99% uptime?

                            There are no statistics, but we do our best to ensure that FreeFlarum stays always online.

                            However I must say that I am slightly concerned about your questions in a way that FreeFlarum might not be ideal for your needs. It is operated in our spare time, and while fixes and updates are published relatively fast, we cannot guarantee that it is at a level that meets your expectations. You asked about questions that are related more to Flarum rather than FreeFlarum (please note that FreeFlarum and Flarum are two completely different platforms unrelated to each other).

                            I therefore assume that you are looking at us more from a commercial point of view. In my opinion I think that self-hosting your forum might be the best option for you. If you lack the resources to do so, please consider checking out the Blomstra service, which is a paid and professional Flarum hosting provider, operated by @luceos)

                                    SKevo thanks for the swift response, I'm moving to Gatsby static pages Hari so I need to host my existing flarum somewhere, currently hosting on my own server. not sure about the extension support freeflarum is currently offering, so I wanted to make sure do you support embed, move posts and other extensions or not .

                                    I understand freeflarum is more like crowd funding and managed flarum. I thought you guys are offering some kind of premium services too (I was wrong) . Blomastra is super expensive, it's better to buy a cloudways droplet and mange there.

                                          SKevo Awesome 🥰

                                          freeflarum is like: hold my beer, we got you covered and it's free 🥳

                                            A lot of threads on my forum appear corrupted. No posts are showing?
