Hello everybody, I am loving this forum plugin, great work!


Would it be possible to make WP-Supercache plugin work with the forum pages? Has anybody tried this?


The reason I'm asking is that I need the wordpress / SimpleForum installation to support a pretty high number of users, linux shows two thousand Apache connections and 800 concurrent connections most of the time.

Yes I have looked. To be honest I think it's impossible. The forum page is just too dynamic for it to ever work.

Thanks for your reply. Any thoughts on scalability or tips on performance? I'm thinking of the pretty URL as well, in vBulletin world as soon as you turn a rewriting plugin for friendly links resource usage spikes significantly.

the usage spike for url rewrites sounds odd. the url rewrites in simple:press forum should have little, if any, impact on resource utilization. We do not have our own rewrite engine.

If you are using fancy permalinks in WP, you shouldnt notice any impact. We only add a couple two or three new rules.

If you use the default permalink structure in WP (ie no fancy permalinks), there is a couple of extra lines of code to extract the info from our urls, but that will be very little impact.

I dont know about that many users and their userbase and forum size. I do have one user with something like 60,000 posts and quite a large membership and they have stated in the forums here that they have noticed no degradation in performance. Personally, I see no reason why there should be when it comes to size. Number of visitors actually loading the site is always a different matter of course.
