What’s new in wpForo Tenor 3.0.1

What it does
Text-only forum threads can feel flat, and members often want a quick way to react with humor or emotion. Pasting GIF links by hand is clumsy and easy to get wrong. This addon solves that by placing a dedicated GIF button in the wpForo editor. Clicking it opens a search popup that pulls results from the Tenor API, so members can find a fitting GIF, preview it and insert it into their message in a few clicks.
The addon works inside the topic, post and private message editors, with the GIF button sitting at the bottom right of each one. Settings live in a Tenor tab on the wpForo Dashboard, so forum admins can configure it alongside their other forum options. The interface follows the clean look of wpForo and works on both desktop and mobile screens. It suits any community already running wpForo that wants members to share animated reactions in their conversations.
Best for
- Community sites already running the wpForo forum plugin
- Casual or hobby forums where members enjoy sharing reactions
- Forum admins who want GIF support in private messages
