Forum topics and replies
Generating wpForo forum topics and replies with Aimogen Pro, the required extension, and the disclosure considerations.
Two creators under AI Content Creators › AI Forums produce forum content:
- Forum Topic Creator — starts new topics
- Topic Reply Creator — replies to existing topics
Requirements#
| Requirement | Notes |
|---|---|
| wpForo | The forum plugin itself |
aiomatic-extension-wpforo | The companion extension. Without it the forum menus are inactive |
See wpForo and Official extensions.
Forum Topic Creator#
Creates new topics in a chosen forum.
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Target forum | Which wpForo forum receives the topics |
| Topic list or topic prompt | What the topics are about |
| Posting user | Which WordPress user authors the topic |
| Schedule and per-run limit | As with every rule |
Placeholders specific to forum rules:
| Placeholder | Contains |
|---|---|
%%topic_user_name%% | The display name of the topic author |
%%participant_list%% | The users taking part |
%%conversation%% | The thread so far |
%%ai_generated_title%% | The generated topic title |
Topic Reply Creator#
Adds replies to existing topics.
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Target topics | Which topics receive replies |
| Reply prompt | How a reply is written |
| Replying users | Which users the replies are attributed to |
| Reply count | How many replies per run |
%%reply_user_name%% and %%conversation%% are the ones that matter. Passing %%conversation%% is what
makes a reply respond to the thread rather than restate the topic.
Writing a reply prompt#
You are %%reply_user_name%%, a member of this community forum.
Topic: %%post_title%%
Conversation so far:
%%conversation%%
Write a single reply of 60-120 words that adds something new. Respond to a
specific point someone made. Use a natural, conversational register. Do not
summarise the thread and do not greet everyone.Disclosure and community norms#
Defensible uses:
- Seeding a new forum with clearly labelled starter topics, with a bot badge or an AI-assistant account
- A disclosed AI helper account that answers questions, identified as such in its profile and signature
- Draft replies a moderator reviews and posts
Practical measures if you use this feature:
- Post from a dedicated account whose name and profile make its nature obvious.
- Add a signature line via the reply prompt or the append setting.
- Keep a human moderator in the loop for anything the AI answers substantively.
- Do not use it to inflate apparent community size.
Common problems#
The forum menus do nothing The wpForo extension is not active.
Replies ignore the thread
%%conversation%% is not in the reply prompt.
All replies sound identical One user, one prompt, low temperature. Vary the user list, raise temperature, and add spintax.
Topics appear in the wrong forum Check the target forum ID on the rule.
