 * As much as I love your forum I still have a couple of questions that I can’t 
   shake off.
 * 1. My forum just seems to hang sometimes when I click through posts to post. 
   MY main pages on the website do not do this.
    It appears to be fast sometimes
   and then very slow at other times. I cant work it out. My website speed is about
   1.18 on Pingdom but these pages are not.
 * 2. Frequently when clicking through from post to post I will receive a server
   internal error warning 500 from Google. I have talked with the server and they
   say all is ok and I should talk to the developer of the plugin (normal thing 
   for a server to say lol)
    As I was writing this I clicked through and an error
   came as follows
 * 500 – Internal Server Error
    This is a temporary server error. Please try to 
   reload the webpage later. If you are the webmaster of this site please log in
   to Cpanel and check the Error Logs. You will find the exact reason for this error
   there.
 * Common reasons for this error are:
 * Incorrect file/directory permissions: Above 755.
    In order files to be processed
   by the webserver, their permissions have to be equal or below 755. You can update
   file permissions with a FTP client or through cPanel’s File Manager.
 * Incorrect Apache directives inside .htaccess file.
    Make sure you have not specified
   unsupported directives inside the local .htaccess file. Such include PHP settings
   and Apache module settings.
 * Any advice on this, please.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fserver-resources-7%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * We just checked and found your forum pages are cached by WP Rocket. In dozens
   of support topics we’ve already explained why you should not enable cache plugins
   on forum pages. In wpForo Community these questions are answered lots of times.**
   Please, exclude forum page from your cache plugin**. There should be an option
   to exclude your forum Base URL to stop caching it.
 * Then navigate to Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Features admin page and make
   sure the built-in wpForo cache functions are enabled. Set these three options
   YES:
    - Enable Member Cache
    - Enable Object Cache
    - Enable Memory Cache

 * I’m sure this doesn’t wpForo issue. Something is wrong configured on your server.
   The folder permission you’re mentioning is incomplete. It should indicate the
   exact directory, so we could understand whether it related to wpForo or not.
 * In any case, to exclude all possible issues from wpForo side I recommend do these
   stpes:
 * 1. Using a FileZilla or cPanle > File Manager set these folders 755:
    – `/wp-
   content/` – `/wp-content/uploads/` – this `/wp-content/uploads/wpforo/` and all
   folders in this directory
 * 2. Click on the “Mark all read” button in forum footer section, then decrease
   the forum/topic logging limit by putting this code in your current active theme
   functions.php file:
 *     ```
       function my_custom_wpforo_max_logged_topics( $num ){ return 50; }
       add_filter('wpforo_max_logged_topics', 'my_custom_wpforo_max_logged_topics', 12);
   
       function my_custom_wpforo_cookie_max_logged_topics( $num ){ return 50; }
       add_filter('wpforo_cookie_max_logged_topics', 'my_custom_wpforo_cookie_max_logged_topics', 12);
       ```
   
 * Here is an instruction how to add those code:
