Had a member tell me they could not get the sign up page to work but their friend could from outside of China. A bit of digging shows that ReCaptcha (google based) may be blocked preventing anyone in China from getting past the sign-up page if it is used (including the invisible flavor which we use). Thoughts? @bfarber curious your thought on a fix in the core suite. Discussions on this topic: https://www.quora.com/Since-Google-reCAPTCHA-does-not-work-in-China-how-do-Chinese-websites-prevent-bots-and-denial-of-service-attacks https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recaptcha-google-in-china/ Thanks!

I'm reorganizing my site a bit and I wish to move quite a number of replies to Download files' comments section. Is there a way to achieve it somehow? Back in the day I had many topics discussing certain files and later Downloads came along. But there were lots of good posts so I kept those topics. Would be great if I could move them into comment section of each download.

So we've just recently launched member subscriptions and put a widget for them on the community's main page. To my surprise, I saw that at the bottom of the widget there's a "see all subscriptions" (screenshot No.1), while none of the other widgets have that same link (Screenshots No.2+3). It's funny because the subscription widget shows all the available subscriptions and doesn't allow to choose how many subscriptions to show, while other widgets such as articles (databases), clubs, blogs etc. do exactly the opposite - they allow you to choose how many "entries" they show, and don't have a "see all" link. Anybody know why it's like that?

Hello, the subject is my question, does the upgradescript turn all extensions off during upgrade or do i have to do that manually before upgrading starts? And, if this goes automatically does the upgrader switch them all on at the end or do i have to check each extension if it works OK within the upgraded board ( i hope it works like this)? Please let me know, thanks!

After upgrading from 4.4.x to 4.5.x, the view of the activity stream has changed (for example unread). Previously there was a list of topics, but now a list of messages(posts). Users did not like this very much. Can this behavior be configured in the admin panel or through an add-on from the store?

Must admit I'm very reluctant to post this topic as its actually asking "for something" rather than me "giving something" however as I've been "away from IPS" for quite a while it felt appropriate. Due to an odd issue (it is attempting to write /css_built_1 , javascript_core , javascript_forums , javascript_global outside the webroot , as in its creating a public_html/uploads directory in /home and writing them there. I have no css and when I did the icons such as notifications and messenger were missing, but the rest of the site was fine. I did remove the legacy /screenshots and the like from the db as I'd already dropped the legacy files into uploads / …

I've just realised that we've got over 17,000 posts all stacked up in our approval queue going back to 2007 – before we ever converted from vbulletin. With the current functionality, you can only delete them one at a time. Is there no other way to bulk delete?

How I can set below criteria to all the posts / Particular section in Forum. It should be - " The minimum number of words for each post should be 35". If the post has minimum 35+ words then only it will be posted otherwise a message should pop up saying. "your reply is too short to be posted"

Has anyone noticed when on a tablet or laptop with touch screen and using your finger that the like button does not display the choices of the button? Sometimes a square appears with blue quote type icons. Sometimes a brief flash of maybe two of four option icons appear and then disappear? It also has a strange behaviour when using a mobile phone. Is this a bug or am I missing something? Thanks

Hi, Recently this problem came up in my community where regular users and my writers are unable to change the size of the embedded images are displayed. Well, yes, they are able to change it, but when they submit the post, it reverts back to the original size. I have tried this myself with my admin account and a regular account and can confirm this does not happen on the admin account. Here's an example of a post that was posted with the exact same image size settings, but the regular user image stayed as the big image. My assumption is that there must be some new setting that I'm unaware of, but I've been unable to figure out what…

Just finished the day-long event at Google. Very informative. I have tons of questions now about how to implement stuff through IPS. For example, I'm using the Google Structured Data Testing Tool and see they like the Schema.org syntax whereas it looks like IPS uses Open Graph tags. When I test a URL on my site I see an error "Article is not a known valid target type for the itemReviewed property." I want to try to use the structured data like Google recommends here - https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/review-snippet and validates here - https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool?utm_campaign=devsite&utm_medium=jsonld…

Hello everyone, I was wondering whether it's possible to limit access to the forums to GUEST users and even the registered user group based on the number of posts read. Is this possible? I want guests to "view the site" but once they have read let's say a number of of posts (1 to 5), they will be prompted to register the forum. Is this possible? If so, where is that option? Is there any plugin that can help in this matter? I want guests to be able to read maybe a couple of posts and then prompt them to register. Thanks a lot Have a nice weekend
