The admin control panel has a Filter gadget you can use when looking at data lists. This helpful tool lets you find things fast. You simply type words into the filter box, and the system immediately shows only items with titles or descriptions containing those words. The Filter works right away - you don't need to press any buttons after typing. For example, if you type "user," the list will shrink to show just items with "user" somewhere in their name or description. You can also check the Prefix option if you want to see only items that start with your search words. This makes searching even more specific when you need it.
The system comes with a cancel button that clears everything and brings back all your items. When you click this...
XenForo uses something called criteria. Criteria help decide when to show things or hide them. They also make searching work better. You might use criteria when you look for users through the control panel. You can also use criteria to control when special notices appear on your website. When you search using text, the system finds anything that matches what you typed. For example, if you type "jo" when searching for usernames, you would find people named Jo, John, Joanne, Bjorn, and Marjory. The system looks for those letters anywhere inside the name and shows you everyone who matches.
Numbers work a little differently. The system lets you search between two numbers. You can set a small number and a big number. Then it finds...
XenForo uses something called display order to put things in the right place. Display order helps you move things around easily without much work. Every item has a number attached to it. Items with smaller numbers come first, and items with bigger numbers come last. Think about how you line up at school by height. The shorter kids stand at the front, and the taller kids stand at the back. Display order works just like that! Blue might have number 5, Purple might have number 7, Red might have number 29, and Green might have number 1578. The computer shows them exactly in that order because of these numbers.
Display order only matters between things at the same level. Parent items have their display order, and child items have a separate...
XenForo uses many names for the same things. This can make learning about it confusing at first. You might hear people call your XenForo website different names like your forum, your board, your installation, or your site. These words all mean the same thing - the place on the internet where people come to talk. The word forum comes from ancient Rome, where people gathered to talk about important things. The word board comes from old computer systems before the internet where people posted messages. We try not to say site because that usually means your entire website, including parts XenForo did not create.
Your XenForo website has smaller parts inside it called forums. Yes, the whole thing is a forum, but it also has little forums...
Upgrading XenForo happens almost the same way as when you first put it on your website. You can jump straight to the newest version from any older one - you do not need to install every version in between. Before you start, make sure you save copies of your XenForo files and information. This step matters a lot because once you begin upgrading, you cannot go back to the old version! You might also need to upgrade any extra tools you added. You should ask the people who made those tools if they work with the new XenForo.
People upgrading from XenForo 1 need to pay extra attention. This upgrade changes many things. The extra tools from XenForo 1 will not work with XenForo 2. You must find new versions of these tools or remove them before...
You need a few things before you start putting XenForo on your website. These include your XenForo account information, a program that helps you move files to your website like FileZilla, the login details for your server, and an empty database with its access details. Remember that these steps only work for first-time setup. If you already have XenForo and want the newer version, you must follow the upgrade steps instead. The first thing you must do is go to the XenForo customer area and download the zip file. You might need to tell them about your website first. Make sure you do not select the upgrade package when downloading for a fresh install.
After downloading, open the zip file on your computer. You will see a folder called...
Users need to install XenForo when they want to deploy the self-hosted software on their server for the first time. Those already running XenForo should upgrade the software when they wish to update to a newer version. Before starting either process, everyone should check that their server meets all XenForo requirements.
Anyone looking for more information can find detailed instructions for both installation and upgrading online. Both processes follow similar steps at a basic level. First, users download XenForo and extract the files on their local machine. Next, they upload the contents from the extracted "upload" directory to their server. Finally, they direct their browser to the install or upgrade system and follow the instructions...
This guide explains how to set up XenForo and shows you all the main parts you'll use. We cover everything from the first steps to advanced features for your website.
When you buy XenForo for your server, check out the Installation part of this guide. Just follow those steps first, then come back here when everything works right. For people who signed up for XenForo Cloud instead, you can find your control panel link with your account details.
The main place you'll work is the admin control panel, or ACP. This area is separate from what regular visitors see on your site. Only people with special admin rights can enter this part of your website. You reach it by adding "/admin.php" to your website address or by clicking the Admin link...
The Police Service Commission picked Monday Agbonika as the brand new Police Commissioner for Edo State. He comes from the Police Mounted Troop division. Ikechukwu Ani, who speaks for the Commission, made this announcement. Agbonika takes the place of Betty Enekpen Isokpan Otimenyin.

Commission leaders told Agbonika he must act fast to cut down crime rates in Edo. They want him to dig into the recent murders happening across the state. The bosses warned him that his...
