# Support Forum Upgrade OMGWTFBBQ Master List

I’m making US a master list 🙂 Since we have P2P2 P2 or O2 is the term people use
to refer to the Make WordPress blog. It can be found at [https://make.wordpress.org](https://make.wordpress.org/),
we can mark them off when done. Hah. This is a sticky, so we should edit it and 
add more on as we make discussion posts (or tracTrac Trac is the place where contributors
create issues for bugs or feature requests much like GitHub.[https://core.trac.wordpress.org/](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/).
tickets) for them.

Please note that these are things primarily needed by Moderators, _not_ a list of
general bugs etc.

## Things that are ‘broken’

 *  [Profiles list of replies is not as useful as the old one](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1868)
 *  [Custom titles are uneditable](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1950) (
   [@SergeyBiryukov](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sergeybiryukov/))
 *  [Moving topics broken](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1955)
 *  [Need modlook without needing to post](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1956)–
   Linked to a pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of
   functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality
   or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written
   in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These
   can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory [https://wordpress.org/plugins/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/)
   or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party. there
 *  [Forum actions need ajax ‘yes you clicked submit, don’t do it again’ to reduce double posts](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1964)
 *  [Improve spam/unspam/approve/unapprove process](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1965)–
   Also consider changing the color scheme
 *  [Inline spam/pending views inconsistent (possible b/c caching)](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1966)—
   Sometimes the view all link is missing due to caching. When this happens, even
   adding ?view=all manually doesn’t work. This explains the issue I had on Friday.
   We need the link to always show, and it must bust cache 🙁 ([@SergeyBiryukov](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sergeybiryukov/))
 *  [Moderators cannot see IPs and emails on profiles or in posts](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1967)(
   fixed in [r4122-meta](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/4122) and [r4123-meta](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/4123))
 *  [Topic info count is broken](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1971) ([@SergeyBiryukov](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sergeybiryukov/))
 *  [Custom titles should not replace roles](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1972)(
   [@SergeyBiryukov](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sergeybiryukov/))
 *  [Restore Trash – let mods delete](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1976)(
   [@macmanx](https://profiles.wordpress.org/macmanx/))
 *  [Closed topics are no longer marked as such in the title](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1899)(
   [@SergeyBiryukov](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sergeybiryukov/))
 *  [Stickies are messed up](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1996) ([@SergeyBiryukov](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sergeybiryukov/))

## New Features we’d like to have

 *  [Merge similar tags](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1968) ([@SergeyBiryukov](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sergeybiryukov/))
 *  [Spamming users should delete all their posts too](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1960)
 *  [Restore links to all/noreply/etc/ on front page](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1873)(
   [@SergeyBiryukov](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sergeybiryukov/))
 *  [Show people with ‘pending’ posts a message that it’s waiting for approval](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1561)(
   [@SergeyBiryukov](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sergeybiryukov/))

## Minor bugs we know about

 *  Do we need a better name than archive to ‘delete’ posts?
 *  Should we have a way to confirm as spam to hide from spam view? [@otto42](https://profiles.wordpress.org/otto42/)
   is looking into this
 *  Would tool-tips on the action links (archive, spam, etc) help?

 3.  I see the Views links on the main Forums page [https://wordpress.org/support/forums/](https://wordpress.org/support/forums/),
     but it would be nice to have some of the same links in Forum or Topic view, we
     can jump to those, like BBP1 had (Admin | All Topics | No Replies | Not Resolved
     | No Tags) at the top right.

 7.  There are 2 links to make a thread sticky. One makes the thread a global sticky
     and the other a relative one to the pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software

     or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party.. Two improvements:
 8.   * The wording of the links should be made clearer so that the purpose of each
        is obvious.
      * The positioning of the link that performs a global sticky should be less apparent,
        as this is a less frequent event.

 20. Hi all,
 21. When going to the “admin” tab for our pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software
     containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They
     can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress
     plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with
     WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory [https://wordpress.org/plugins/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/)
     or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party., then clicking on Support Forums
     TagTag Tag is one of the pre-defined taxonomies in WordPress. Users can add tags
     to their WordPress posts along with categories. However, while a category may 
     cover a broad range of topics, tags are smaller in scope and focused to specific
     topics. Think of them as keywords used for topics discussed in a particular post.
     RSS FeedRSS Feed RSS is an acronym for Real Simple Syndication which is a type
     of web feed which allows users to access updates to online content in a standardized,
     computer-readable format. This is the feed., the feed is 404ing since the forum
     migrationMigration Moving the code, database and media files for a website site
     from one server to another. Most typically done when changing hosting companies..
 22. Eg [https://wordpress.org/support/rss/tags/typekit-fonts-for-wordpress](https://wordpress.org/support/rss/tags/typekit-fonts-for-wordpress)

     plugins.
 24. Thank you!

 29. Seems like the HTTPSHTTPS HTTPS is an acronym for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol
     Secure. HTTPS is the secure version of HTTP, the protocol over which data is sent
     between your browser and the website that you are connected to. The 'S' at the
     end of HTTPS stands for 'Secure'. It means all communications between your browser
     and the website are encrypted. This is especially helpful for protecting sensitive
     data like banking information. links to WordPress.comWordPress.com An online implementation
     of WordPress code that lets you immediately access a new WordPress environment
     to publish your content. WordPress.com is a private company owned by Automattic
     that hosts the largest multisite in the world. This is arguably the best place
     to start blogging if you have never touched WordPress before. [https://wordpress.com/](https://wordpress.com/)
     files (image files) are broken in [https://make.wordpress.org/support/user-manual/customizing-wordpress/menus/](https://make.wordpress.org/support/user-manual/customizing-wordpress/menus/).
     Links work without HTTPS. Is that a known thing?

      * The particular thread you’re commenting in right now though is about bugs and
        broken things in the newly update support forums, not the user guides.
